Presenting .... da da-da DAH!!!! ... My 'sewing' block!!

Well now, it's almost 11pm, so I'm off to prep up my next block 😜 ... I'm aiming to have them all finished by the end of next week so I can spend the weekend putting it all together!!

Dedication

I really, really loved making this block !


You will recognize me... Fair hair, blue eyes...


AND... pretty pink shoes !!


I was thinking of all my friends while I was making this block and I want to dedicate it to all of them !!
For all the good times chatting, laughing, stitching, walking, eating, drinking.... well you all know what I mean !

Sewing all day


I finished the first May block. I heart it! Love the subject, the details, the colours! And I made an exagonal variation! So small and cute! :)

P.S. Hey, girls! Sometimes Anni Downs forget some details, so you can see little differences between the finished quilt and the pattern. For example, here there is a screw on the scissors!

February's Blocks

My SKoW so far

December, January and February


and I can relax now until June,


the cat block is done, I just need to sew it onto the strip



The sewing block (May) I have the shoe block and the best friends done too

My husband says I have to much time on my hands lol, but I don't really I stitch everynight for
around 4 hours, uninterupted

Love it :)


          I haven't done the top or bottom borders, I am going to wait until the top is
together to get the right balance of beige-ness (is that a proper word??)
