Mr. Books and I spent most of Sunday home. . . . so between housework and all the ordinary things done when we are home I was able to get some stitching done.
The first two blocks are for a block swap that I have been in since May. . . . each of us picked a color scheme or block design that we wanted.
This is for a gal in Wales that wanted black, white, gray and red.
This is for a gal in Australia that wanted blocks of flowers.
This block is for a lottery type block exchange. Those that signed up were given a piece of the print fabric and the only requirement was that the block had to be a 12" block.
I love the challenge fabric and if I did not have enough stash to fill a quilt shop I would try to find this. I think it would make a great Stack & Whack or 4 Patch Posy type quilt.
Our quilt guild held an all day sew-in at Historic Walnford and there is another link to information here on Saturday. . . . . and I was able to get the rest of the center of a scrappy bargello quilt done. I did not have my camera so I did not get a picture of that yet. . . . but I'm thinking I may wait on taking a picture until I have decided on the borders and get them on.
I have started a new project that is going to be a gift for Mr. Books. . . . but since I have only done 2 seams it didn't seem to be ready for "it's close-up". . . . but pictures will be coming of that as well.
In peace and pieces,
