Sundry WIPs and a Charm Pack Destash

The giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by! xoxo



I'm working on a hexagon paper pieced project I'll show as a completed project in November. I'm using Amy Butler's Cameo. I like this fabric but I LOVED Soul Blossoms.


This is my Sew Bee It block for September. It has been sent to Carla. She makes such amazing quilts! 

And my first two rows for Bee in My Bonnet's Row Along.



I saw this Happy Drawing panel by Ed Emberly and fell in love with the adorable stuffed creatures that can be cut out and stuffed.


I've finished a couple of them and will hand deliver them to this little guy next week. He'll be two in November. He's getting older but I am not. 


And last of all, I've been cleaning my sewing room and have a few charm packs I'd like to share. 


If you are interested leave a comment and I'll choose a random winner on Monday Oct. 1st.

Linking up with Freshly Pieced

See you you soon!

Kallie

Kallie said...

Hmm Perhaps I am a bit blind. It was mentioned that is how you do it on Live a Colourful Life but not on your blog that I can find! If possible I would love to know how you do it! I have several quilts to spray baste and very little room to do so.
Thanks!
Kallie

AlyceB said...

Gorgeous X and + block! I love the simpler colour scheme as opposed to the really scrappy ones I've seen.

foodmathquilts said...

I love your butterfly row! Is the checkerboard/9-patch piece in the next picture for the same quilt?

I also think that the butterflys would stand alone beautifully as a table (or bed) runner with the addition of a wide border.

Thanks!
Sarah
