Last minute or not, I did manage to get three blocks made this week and that's what counts. It's finally starting to look like a quilt and not just a random collection of blocks!
I had the opportunity to wander around a new quilt store and, despite all the tempting fabric, I only came home with this metallic and green Stonehenge. How was I supposed to turn down a sale like that? But I have a Christmas wall-hanging on the to do list this year, so it should be used shortly.
Last but not least I picked out some new floss to try in my cross-stitch sampler; there's a very light grey, a shimmery white, a silver metallic, and a softer white (winter white). Snow white didn't show up on my Aida too well, so hopefully one of these options will do the trick.

Yea, it's amazing how much quilting you can squeeze in. Very nice blocks.
ReplyDeleteoooohhh silver thread! nice!
ReplyDeleteThat winter white embroidery thread looks lovely. I wish I could get up early in the mornign to squeeze in a bit of sewing before work - never seems to happen!
ReplyDeleteAlways a good day when you can grab a bargain! Great quilt blocks too
