Working on something different and joining others must have done the trick for my mojo to return. Did a lot of the quilting Friday night and completed it on Saturday night. Now to finish the binding...
Also made two "Maple Leaf" blocks to send to Canada for the dear folks who lost everything in the HUGE fires...
Sue from Super Mom -No Cape posted a fabulous tutorial on her blog to make the Maple Leaf and the address of where to send the blocks..
then sat and relaxed while doing some stitching on this SS Block....
This is the next block....PP and sew many tiny pieces as the block is 6 1/2 " finish .. Not sure if I will tackle it ???????
Off to see what the other ladies made for FNSI .
Happy Stitching..
Hugz Maria :)
You'll get there. Just take your time with the SS block
ReplyDeleteI love the dress pattern!..thought it was an actual pattern for a dress first glance..thought "I'd like to wear that sort of dress"..then read on to see it was a block to make! LOL!
ReplyDeleteyou've been busy! so glad you got your mojo back. Love your polka dot quilt & that pp dress pattern is so adorable!
ReplyDeleteSue that SS block is so pretty! That is so sweet about the maple leaf! It really looks pretty!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful idea! Things like that really do make us count our blessings.
ReplyDeleteYay! Mr. Mojo is back! Several people are deciding to try to applique that dress instead of PP. I'm not very good at PP. Thanks for the link for the maple leaves for Canada.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great effort at FNSI. Well done Maria...xox
ReplyDeleteGreat that your mojo is back and thanks for the maple leaf link - might see if I can make a couple..such a sad loss...
ReplyDeleteSo great you had such fun and were so productive on Friday night :) Love the cheery dotty quilt! Great idea about the Maple leaf blocks :) Gorgeous stitching for SS. Hmm yes tricky PP block, take it slow and I'm sure you'll get there, or do as Sunny suggests and applique :)
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear your mojo has returned to you!! Your quilt looks great! Well done on getting so much done! Love the maple leaf blocks! I am sure you will be fine with the pp block!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet to make maple leaf blocks for the fire victims! Looks like you'll need a lot of patience to PP that block! It's always good to challenge ourselves a little! Go ahead and give it a try! XO
ReplyDeleteSo good to see the projects coming together. I love that stitching project you are working on. The paper pieced block looks awfully cute. Sometimes those pieces are soooo tiny in them.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that next SS block looks painstaking... I bet you would do a great job of it Maria if you took it on.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you have some returned sewing interest, the quilt is such cheery colours, what colour will you bind with?

Gray to see you enthusiastic again and sewing up a storm :)
ReplyDeleteLove your stitching on that SS block. Not sure if I'd be tacking that pp block - have never had much success with pp.
