Odds and Ends...

My Homespun project has returned home!

And I have plans for another block from my 

pattern....

to play with my MCM Bee blocks!

There have been stars in the making too....

It has been quite a challenge for me working with 

such a limited colour palette,

but I think this is working....

And I'm appliqueing, with blanket stitch,

 some leaf shapes to be added 

to my Spring Garden quilt top!

What have you been up to this weekend?

Happy sewing!

I'm published!

My project is in the October edition of 

"Homespun" magazine!

Oakshott Scraps from my friend Cindy @Live A Colorful Life

I first received an email from the editor early in 

November 2013!

Yes, that was eleven months ago!

I redesigned a block from an 

old quilt blocks book-

The block was called "Dusty Miller".

Pardon the scribblings....

I made some subtle changes

and used modern day 

foundation piecing techniques!

Oh, that's blurry!

 I echo quilted around the design, 

And I forgot to take any photos of the finished item

before I sent it off in March!

Nearly perfect points!

So here are some photos from the magazine!

If you decide to make my block or bag,

I'd love to see it!

I think a series of these blocks would make a great 

quilt too....

And as extra encouragement, I am happy to send a 

copy of the magazine to one of my faithful followers!

If you have left a comment on my blog in the last six 

months, and would like a copy, 

leave me a comment on today's post-

tell me how you'd make my Dusty Miller block more 

YOU!

I will pick a winner in a week or so....

Happy sewing!
