| That reminds me - I must get the hellebores planted. |
But are are my recent little finishes:
Liberty tana lawn and Japanese linen. A marriage made in heaven.
 |
| Note to self: photograph light fabrics on dark background. Bleh. |
My favourite, pink polka dots and botanical seeds.
 |
| Cuteness. |
Finally, hot pink and aqua madness (the hot pink doesn't photograph well).
 |
| Get out your sunnies! |
These are still making me happy!
Now quilty friends, tell me, are you interested in doing an ABC baby quilt? I ask because I have this book, which has the cutest little ABC quilt which is on my to-do list. There are boy and girl versions. I just know that without motivation, I'll never get it done. But if I had YOU quilting with me, I'd be forced to do it! The blocks are little so they wouldn't take long.

| Go see Crazy Mom's soft kitty cushion. Cuteness overload. |
If we do just one block a week, it will take us 30 weeks. I know that seems like a long time, but slow and steady wins the race, right? Let me know if you're keen - you'd need to get the book, so I won't start for a few weeks. And I haven't done embroidery for over 20 years, so I can rummage around and find us some tutorials to look at. Definitely total beginner friendly!
If there are a few of you, I could talk to some peeps and see if I can rummage up some prizes for finishing. Ooohhhhh, nice.
It could be the ABC BOW (block of the week!). Heh.
Welcome linky party visitors. Hope you're having a lovely weekend!
Count me in. I have a niece or nephew on the way and this would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour EPP star blocks look great! An ABC quilt sounds super cute but I think I'm too impatient for that much hand embroidery.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are really nice, great job! I would love to do a ABC quilt. Nice and slow would work perfect with my work schedule also. It would be fun.
ReplyDeleteYour EPP star blocks look great! Such accurate piecing. I do not have the patience for the embroidery.I can fmq a whole afternoon, but hand embroidery not for 10 minutes!
ReplyDeleteI just love your stars...sooo.oooh beautiful. The Liberty and Japanese Linen is so fab. Thanks for sharing. Marie (mlismore@optusnet.com.au)
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are amazing and I've just bought the book so I'm in too!!! YAY YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteYour EPP blocks are great!
ReplyDeleteI think I won't join the ABC quilt, but you might want to have a look here, if you don't know this blog:

Red Brolly's also doing a block of the month embroidery sampler which I joined - so enough stitching for me.
I found your blog only recently through WIP Wendnesday and I like it a lot!
Greetings from Austria, Ophelia
I love your EPP blocks - great fussy cutting!
ReplyDeleteLovely EPP - thanks for linking up to TGIFF!
ReplyDeleteThe epp blocks are going to make one stunning quilt! Would love to join in but am over-committed as it is! Will watch from the sidelines :)
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds fun! Would you believe my aunt just gave me some ABC fabric that I was going to cut into little squares and do that with anyway, so count me in :) Your EPP is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI love your EPP blocks! Very cute! And the ABC BOW sounds like fun, although I'm stretched too thin to join in I ope you get enough folks to do it!
ReplyDeleteWhoop whoop!!
Just found your blog - definitely interested in joining the embroidery stitch along - will need to get the book first though :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your hexagons. Great fabric choices.
ReplyDeletelove the newest blocks!!! fabulous fussy cutting on the last one.
ReplyDeletethe embroidery is tempting, but alas, I can't. =( however, I just know this is the quilt you were talking about for #8, so i'll try harder to come through with the baby for the quilt!
