Patty Cakes anyone

I prepared this block and the umbrella block yesterday
and I did the cherries too, sadly when it came to add the
cherries they had vanished, and are still missing
so I will add them tonight



my umbrella block is almost ready for sharing
I just need to do the stitching and applique
one more side of the brolly down.

Tonight I will be stitching down some binding on a
new couch quilt
and then I'll start the tea cup block.

They are really quick to do once you get started :)

Your missing cherries remind me of a time I told the barman that I had lost my cherry (from my Brandy Alexander) - but it was a bit cheeky so maybe I shouldnt share it here. .
Yes, they are fairly quick - once you have chosen the colours and done the preparation etc. LOL

I agree...they are much faster going than the stitchery for GJ, even if I had to learn to needle turn...I was afraid it would be difficult for me and even considered dropping out....
The suitcase has a few more elements and is taking a bit longer but I'm getting there. Then I'll have all the appliques for the first row finished.
