DEAR JANE

Hi friends,

my DJ was waiting for a few time to be worked on. Today we had a grey and foggy day, so I decided to sew on the top border to the first third of the quilt (by hand). Here is the result.

Now I have to finish the quilting on the bottom border (almost done), add it to the 3rd part of the quilt and join them. Then start with the side borders (I already started).

Hope to come back soon with news about my DJ.

Hugs. Pink

BATIK CIVIL WAR BOW

Hi friends!
Sunday I had an inspiration and decided to look after my batik stash. I was lucky to find a lot of different batiks. Here they are.

What did I do with them? I decided to try the Civil War BOW blocks in batik. Here are the first four I made. I have to say that I really love them.

Block 1 - Catch me if you can

Block 2 - North Star

Block 4 - Texas Tears

Block 7 - Log Cabin

Now I have to work to catch up the group with the last 4 blocks.

Hugs. Pink

QUILTING BLOCK SWAPS AUSTRALIA

Hi friends,

I started my week-end very lucky. I got my February block from my Swap partner Crafty Pug! Lovely, lovely!

I got a fabric scrap too and Valentino got beautiful stamps for his collection. So here is her block.

and here is my block to Crafty Pug.

I really enjoyed doing this wonky star. I probably will try to do some more wonky blocks: houses, log cabin, stars... Do you know more I could do?

Kisses. Pink

CIVIL WAR BLOCK OF THE WEEK

Hi again dear friends!

This morning I really thought I get crazy with block 5!! It took me 2 hours to do just the first tiny little square. I had to adjust some measurements and then my sewing machine didn't want to cooperate... After 2 hours I gave it a last chance and finally I got it! Here is the first little square, 3 more to do...

Probably I am a bit crazy!!

CIVIL WAR BLOCK OF THE WEEK

Good morning friends,

yesterday I made the 4th block for my Civil War BOW. Here it is. Like the others it is 4". I hope to manage every block in 4". The next is quite tricky...

 Hugs. Pink
