:: Catching Up ::

Well, I didn't plan on being away from the blog for so long. I wanted to drop in and say hi and show you a couple of things I made recently. If you follow my feed on Instagram then you probably saw my progress on these. I used Amy's tutorial again. For this one I cross stitched a little strawberry for the center. I love it!!!

I used one of my very favorite prints for the back. You can find this fabric here. I'm really happy with the way this one turned out. It's so cute.

I've always liked this Nosegay or Bride's Bouquet block. I decided to make one after seeing this one on Flickr. I hand pieced the block making the set-in seams very easy and doable. I like that I have better control, by hand sewing, when I am doing more "technical" stuff. I can really see what I am doing. I tried some free motion scallops for the quilting. I drew the first few rows of scallops but I felt much more comfortable just winging it.

Again, I used one of my favorite prints for the back. I bought this years ago and don't know if you can still find it. The selvedge says "antique treasures". I could see making a whole quilt with these blocks using lots of different feedsack fabrics. That would be pretty.

Well I hope you all are having a great week!
