I am not much for prepping for holidays months before the day, but I decided I would try to get some things made ahead of schedule for gifts.
I saw this cute little wall hanging, and dug through my scraps. What little time I get for sewing I managed to get 3 of these made.
The background fabric is a batik with a snowflake looking design. I still have to finish off sewing down the bulb ends, and find a backing, quilt, bind, and make a hanging pocket but I think they turned out pretty cute.
I also invited myself to join Dawn at
SewYouQuilt2 in a Farm Girl sew along. The first block was a cow block from Bee In My Bonnet. I like having the option to do 6 1/2 inch blocks or 12 1/2 inch blocks.
Here is my cow-I decided to do a 12 1/2 inch block. I didn't do eyes yet, but the rest of the embroidery is complete. I think when the quilt is closer to done I will do button eyes.
It is so nice to get a little done here and there.
OMG I LOVE her! and that is how we are looking at this farm girl quilt. MAKE IT YOURS.....some of our blocks may be 12 and some 6 and maybe some another size made to fit the scheme of things. so so fun......NOW I MAY have to make a brown cow too! hee hee
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back at the machine :) Cute cow!
ReplyDeleteOh your cow is adorable--I like this Bossie in the 12.5" size block a lot--
ReplyDeleteNice hugs, julierose P.S. maybe because i am afraid of making blocks with so many pieces, I SHOULD work on them..maybe produce a new species of cow-Alien type hahaha
Got my pattern from Dawn this morning, now to find the fabric
