WIP Wednesday: Friendship Embroidery Mini Swap

Several people around the world are signed up for this little swap. It is a cute and fun project. Below is a pic of my progress so far. How is everyone else doing? I hope to get my offering into the mail in about 4 days.

Friendship Embroidery - design by Lenna Green of the Stitching Cow

NO tracing... just print design, lay on foundation & stitch. Dissolves in water. Love it.

Until next time. . . what are you doing today?

Quilty Hugs,

I GUESS I CAN'T COUNT From 1 to 10. . . BowTie Block A Day Update

The plan: make several Bowtie blocks using Fruit and Veggie design fabrics and set them into placemats for my breakfast table. Easy? Sure. The Bowtie blocks finish at 6 inches, so if they are set 3 blocks across by 2 rows, that will equal SIX blocks per placemat. Right? OK, I handled it that far. . . so why do I have EIGHT different Fruit/Veggie blocks? Hmmmmm, someone -- me! -- can't count, that's for sure! lol

First layout attempt... notice the two 'extra' green blocks on the far left...perhaps not all the placemats will be the same afterall. lol :

More later... the placemat saga will continue. lol.  Tomorrow: Hexie blocks for my WIP GFG.

Thank you for stopping by. . . until next time I hope you have both the time and inclination to sew up something that makes you or someone you love happy.
Hugs,
