Design Wall Monday 4/9/12

Here's the flimsy I made last week.  I used some churn dash swap blocks from way back when and a baby print instead of a solid square between blocks. 

Also on my wall is that sunflower block I am working on.  I'm constructing the flower in parts because of its complexity.  It isn't hard - just have to be methodical and do it piece by piece.

Stash Report 4/8/12 and Spring Trio

Had a wonderful Easter Sunday.  Hope you did too.  Food was good, company was great.  Praise the Lord for His abundant love for us.

I've been working on the mystery block for Esther's BOM, so haven't done much sewing.  Oops I take that back - I did make a charity flimsey with some swap blocks but that was way at the beginning of last week - think tues.  It's been so long since I've sat down at the machine as I was dealing with all the tiny pieces for the applique block.  I'll show it tomorrow.  The light is not good for taking a photo.  In the meantime here is a shot from my garden.  White allysum, pink primrose and yellow Iris.  They look so pretty together.  The iris has given me 12 blooms from two stalks.  It took 3 years before it bloom but wow, I love it.   So  a charity flimsey for 1.5 yards; pieces for applique about 1/4 yard and 3 yards for charity giveaway.  Here are my numbers:

Used/Donated this week: 4.75yards

Used/Donated YTD:      48.78 yards
Added/Bought this week: 0.00 yards
Added/Bought YTD:      21.5 yards
--------------------------------
Net Used YTD:            27.28 yards

Favorite Things Friday

I'm actually posting this on Saturday as Friday is spent in mourning and sorrow for our Lord.  And tonight we go to keep vigil as we move into Glorious Easter.


I finished that pillow for Alan.  I made it envelope style and it went together pretty good with just half yard of fleece.  And he happened to come over Wednesday, so I gave it to him then.


For Me?

 He started to play with it right away

 He'd throw himself on it and give it a hug

Yeah, I like my owly pillow!

I was touched by his display.  Pillow now resides in his crib.
