It is mighty cold outside today as we brace for yet another storm , more snow with this system , yikes . Anyway it is a great day to spend in my sewing space and work on these blocks .
These blocks are not lined up properly just on my design wall to see if I like what I have chosen to do . You see that center block with the embroidery , I messed up , the quote should have been done on point rather than the way I have done it but it is my fault for not reading all the way through the instructions , I am so .... bad for doing that and rather than redo the block I am going to sew them together in this fashion rather than on point which is fine by me as it will be less work in the end ;-) Those corner stones are not in the proper place either , just wanted to see how that fabric was going to work , my supplies in the reproduction prints is getting very depleted which was my intent when I started these blocks but I didn't think this through to the end so I am now struggling to get things to work . There are six more blocks to add and these blocks may not stay where they are presently it just happens to be the ones I have finished adding the sashings to make them into spools , the other blocks are all made just waiting for this little addition . This was the Aurifil BOM for 2014 which I enjoyed taking part in . I have to say I do love these little prints , just so cute and fresh looking . I really love the spool block in the center , that is adorable and would make a sweet cushion on its own .
Hey guess what, I have finally started to try knitting socks , yep , it may take me a while to actually wear them but at least I have made a start . How is it going you ask , well it seems I can't count or get lost in other thoughts so my ribbing is my very own pattern as it doesn't look anything like normal ribbing but it is done and I will continue on and maybe sock #2 I will pay more attention lol!
That's it for me today , hope you have a wonderful day , stay safe and warm if you are in the path of this storm . Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again real soon .
hugs Sheila
Love the colors!! We have 14" of snow this morning with more on the way so brace yourself.
ReplyDelete:))) Eu procurei e não encontrei nenhum erro. Eu achei muito bonito!
ReplyDeleteEu estou finalizando um pequeno lote de cartões com margaridas bordadas. Há muitos projetos para fazer mas o calor nos coloca em câmera lenta.
Aproveite o aconchego do frio e boas costuras!
Um abraço carinhoso!
:))) I searched and did not find any error. I found it very beautiful!
I'm finishing a small batch of cards with embroidered daisies. There are many projects to do but the heat puts us in slow motion.
Enjoy the cold warmth and good seams!
A warm hug!
Your blocks are coming together very well. The spool block is wonderful. yea for you and your socks. I love making them. That first pair is such a terrific sense of accomplishment. I probably have 15 pair under my belt and I still don't have a perfect pair. I do wear them and so do the people I've gifted them to. Are you using DPN's or a circular?
ReplyDeleteI like the colors too, looking good
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are beautiful. I especially love the spools!
ReplyDeleteSheila, your blocks are so pretty! And you didn't make a mistake......you made the quilt your own, instead of a clone of all the others that will be done.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely blocks. I'm doing the spool block as a "mini" for a swap & i'm not putting it on point. I like how you've done yours so it's not a mistake. Hugs,xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila it sure sounds cold your way,love your blocks the colours are wonderful and you are so brave knitting socks,lol.xx
ReplyDeleteYour fabrics are very pretty, and I LOVE the spool block! Is that still available online somewhere? because you know I really NEED another project. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I love your blocks and the colors are so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Deborah
Those colors are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love your colours Sheila - this is going to be a great quilt. xx
ReplyDeletethose blocks look really pretty together... well done for not getting hung up to how they will all go together... sometimes we just need to go with the flow.....
ReplyDeletewell done with the socks.... I love the idea of hand made socks...

I love sampler quilts! I think your blocks look great and I wouldn't redo the embroidery either ;-) It's a design opportunity!! Congrats on knitting socks, but beware, it's rather addictive and before you know it, you'll need a dresser just for socks, haha.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I' finishing up an afghan, then I'm going to try socks, too.
