Weekend Favorite

Here's our sweetie, Alan, at Infant school.  I can't believe all the progress he has made since September.  He couldn't walk then and look at him now!

 

Auntie Jaime, I love my hat!

 



Applique Thursday 3/21/13

Sigh - didn't get very far at all this week - couldn't decide on a green for my morning glory leaves, reached a hiccup on my BOM, so just made the copy I will use for templates of Anna's Garden block 6:

 Now to choose fabric.  And while I didn't get much done on the applique, I can report and show the tote I finished from the Lisa Coulombe workshop.  I even did some quilting on it.

And I found time to scan another giveaway book:

This is a classic - Mary Ellen is so thorough in this book.  Have so many versions of this pattern now that I feel I can give this one away.  To win this copy, all you need to do is comment or link to have a chance for it to be yours. Or do both and have two chances. And for extra chances, tell your friends about this giveaway. If they comment or link and mention you in their comment, you'll automatically get another entry in this giveaway. Submissions end Wednesday night. Use the blue link below. And remember, it doesn't have to be applique (that you share that is) - all sorts of eye candy is eligible and very welcome - even projects you finish a while ago - it'll all be new to me.

 

I'm linking over to Pat Sloan's Show and Tell  and Amanda Jean's Finish it up Fridays. Do visit. 

Fabric Tuesday - Wow

Well the first row is quilted.  I will do the sashing between them and below the first row after I add the second row.  Here on the right, you see it pinned ready to be sewn. 

Once that's done, I'll repin-baste the new row so that I don't have any wrinkles on the back.  It's back to the floor to do that.  I'll have to look into getting a table to do the basting as Cindy Needham recommends in her Craftsy class.

What's your fabric story - Wow this week?  I'm linking to Connie's Free Motion by the River and Esther's WOW.  See you there!
