My last post was about my House Block in the March section of our SKOW Quilt. Has my world really gone crazy that long ago this year? To be honest it was not only extra work hours & days that have kept me away but also my aversion to needleturn applique has kept my needle dormant.
Last weekend I did a review of where I was at - 13 blocks to stitch - did up a plan & decided to add redesigning 7 blocks to suit me. I started with some quick & easy blocks so I could cross something off my list & now have 4 completed blocks to show you.
Three from the original design
And a new addition to replace the old chair block. What do I love better than old chairs? Old linens & I even had stained & ripped old ones I had kept knowing I would use their pretty parts somehow.
Next I am starting to stitch a photography block to replace the butterfly one. So I hope to get a couple of blocks done each week between doing Christmas swap pressies.
Can't wait to see what the next stitch-a-long is going to be! I know Chooky - concentrate on finishing this one first - don't go buying fabrics again this year before you are finished & allowed to play along like you did last year....
Happy stitching

Tracee - I do love your "Old Linens" block - very clever.
lol,lovely blocks Trace,well done.xx
clever...very clever! Your linen block looks lovely. Keep turning your needle and it will come together.
it's great to adapt blocks to suit our own likes.........goodluck with the camera........can you work it out enough with the picture I posted......come on keep going your on the home run now........
Great change - love the vintage linens.
I like how you adapted this block....Some of them go pretty quickly. I had never done needleturn until this project and I found for the most part that I liked it. Some of the circles and curves weren't for me and I found a way around that. For the rainbow, I used ribbon and on the tree I just did a flowered fabric and skipped the flower applique on the tree. You can do it.....just keep plugging along.

Old linens... very nice way to incorporate the worn ones and make good use of them. Genius.
