Done:
4x5 angel blocks
Off in the mail today!
Still going:
For the Love of Solids swap
My big project is moving right along, but I'm still at a loss as to what to do for my second smaller item for my partner. Just some binding to finish and my mini will be all done!
Star Crossed Stitch blocks
Made a few more this week, and gosh, I'm loving this block more than ever now. I'm really enjoying putting this quilt together so far!
Modern Mini tutorial
I'm putting the finishing touches on my Modern Mini post and tutorial for Friday as a part of Jennifer's Modern Mini Challenge and I'm really excited about sharing this one with you all.
New this week:
Sew Beautiful block for Emily
Emily sent along some gorgeous fabrics for her block, and has given us an interesting block to work on, so I'm excited to work on this one soon.
Stash Trad block for Lee
Lee has asked us to make her Arkansas Traveler block from the Summer Sampler using beachy tones of blue and green with some sandy tones thrown in. Need to pull some fabrics and get this one going so I can maybe bring this block with me to Wisconsin next week!
What are you working on this week? Write it up and share it over at Lee's WiP Wednesday linky!
you made some headway this week. I love the star crossed blocks. I would like to see more.
ReplyDeleteproductive week, now I need to go and do some work!! Fi
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful work. Enjoy your vacation.
ReplyDeleteI love those star crossed blocks. Very pretty! I too am obsessed with Downton Abbey! I watched the first season over the Christmas holiday and waited anxiously for season two. It is living up to it's reputation! I love Maggie Smith so much, and I hear that Shirley McClain will be playing Cora's mother in season three.

I adore your star crossed stitch blocks Elizabeth! This is DEFINITELY on my to-do list this year- very cute!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the star crossed blocks! I'm a recent Downton addict as well! Did you know you can stream them on your computer via the Netflix app? I didn't even have Netflix but got it just to watch Downton season 1. I streamed season 2 thru PBS app ( free ). Now I have to wait for Sundays! :(
