Finished this week:
Photo Corners pattern - Thanks for ll the fabulous support and enthusiasm about my newest pattern! You guys are the best :)
Camera strap for my new camera - Finished and putting to good use!
4x5 Weathervane blocks - and I'm working on finishing up a block tutorial to share with you all on Friday for this block!
Stash Trad block - all ready to send off to Lynne!
Still working on:
String Me Along block - Bree asked for a Polaroid-inspired block, using her tutorial, and so far, these little Polaroids are a lot of fun!!
New this week:
Mod Stitches block for Jeni - I just got Jeni's fabric in the mail and am looking forward to stitching up a little block for her!
Birthday pouch for Mom - My mother's birthday is coming up next month, and I'd really like to make a zippy pouch for her. She has always had a bottomless purse, so I figure a pouch might really come in handy...plus they're so fun to stitch up! I definitely want to do some kind of patchwork, but I'm awfully undecided at the moment, so I thought I'd pull a few fabrics that I think she'd like. She's a bit more traditional than I am, so I pulled these there beauties, which I think will be a fun combination for her (L-R: fabrics from Terrain, DS Quilts Picnic & Fairgrounds, and The Woodlands).
What about you? What are you stitching up this week? Hop on over to Freshly Pieced to get your weekly dose of works-in-progress at the WIP Wednesday link-up. Happy sewing!
Loving the weather vane blocks!
ReplyDeleteI think I like the black-based block best - it really makes those colours pop!
ReplyDeleteOh my! That Stash Trad is lovely! You have made so many lovely blocks this week!
ReplyDeleteLove all the blocks. How'd you make out on the LynneBob this time!? Your camera strap is great too. Does it stay in place? I've been thinking of making one.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are all so beautiful! It must be more fun to use a camera with a beautiful strap. I am loving those polaroid blocks - I can see many uses for those - I spy quilt, fussy cutting HR fabrics, etc!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are gorgeous! Love the weathervane block - can't wait for the tutorial on that one. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, everything is lovely. I especially like the camera strap, and hinted for one for Christmas, but looks like I'll have to come up with one myself, since Santa apparently doesn't sew.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your projects. I need to find some time to go work on some of mine.
Hi! As said your quilt is fantastic and that green is really good for the border! All your new blocks are wonderful!

ReplyDeleteGreat blocks, and of course, great quilt!
ReplyDeleteah, loving those polaroids! thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteOh, I really like the photo corners quilt! That's a perfect name for it, too. Did you use a tute for the camera strap? I've got a few on my list to make as a PIF for a photog friend.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new pattern! I love all the blocks you are working on. I'll have to check out the tutorial on the polaroid block. very interesting.
ReplyDeleteOh, man! SO many great things here! I love the Carpenter's star!! And the camera strap! And all the blocks! And especially the pattern!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the sick kiddos, though! At least you got to go to the circus, right? :)
Yay for your new pattern! It really is just perfect for showcasing larger scale prints. Love your 4x5 bee blocks and the stash trad block! Those colors really pop against the dark grey!
ReplyDeleteEverything si great, but I particularly love the Polaroid blocks!! How clever!!
ReplyDeleteI love your new pattern (and the name rocks--so fun). Your posts are always so colorful and inspiration. And your production. Yeah, well I know I sound like a broken record on that one. :)
ReplyDeleteThe polaroid blocks look super cute. And I'm anxious to work on Jeni's block too.

ReplyDeleteLove the way your bee blocks came out. I need to get started on mine. I especially love Cherie's. I love the look of that block.
ReplyDeleteIt's all wonderful, Elizabeth! Love the weathervane blocks in particular, but what's not to love about any of it really. :)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great, Elizabeth! I am really loving those weather vane blocks!
ReplyDeleteso many great projects! I really like the rectangular snowballs,
ReplyDeleteThose Polaroid blocks are brilliant! And the weathervane -can't wait for your tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteThose are all awesome! You have been very busy!!!! I am wondering what you have on your camera covering the flash? Did you make it?
ReplyDeleteSorry the boy has been sick!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing better than crossing all of those blocks off the list! The weathervane block is very cool.
Wow - that's a busy week! All your stuff is so great. I must get going on Lynne's block!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your blocks but I especially like the middle fabric on your mothers potential pouch. So pretty!

ReplyDeleteYou have so many great blocks, Elizabeth. I am really fond of the Stash Trad. The dark charcoal really makes the colors pop. Your's is the second Carpenter's Star I've seen this week. I may have to make one for myself.
