A couple of weeks ago we got together to make a few more sampler blocks
 |
| Duck and Ducklings - 21 pieces |
 |
| Fools Puzzle - 36 pieces |
 |
| Dutchman's Puzzle - 24 pieces |
We are up to 95 blocks now - made up from 3072 pieces.....
I have a list of blocks to do for homework in February so those are first up on my Design Board Monday....
So far I haven't even chosen the fabrics for each block but there's 29 days to do that!!
I have covered my block box ...
the covered base can be used for a top for my taller box
.. and I finished up my mini wall of art....
some lovely pieces from different people
.. and the little stand gets changed from time to time with other pieces I have received from friends.
so lovely to look at them all and be inspired
I sewed the tuffet cover.. but I'm not showing it all to you as it's a surprise .... the tuffet will be made by my DIL who is doing an upholstery course
This weeks plan's include :
Sylvia's Sampler Blocks
Finishing off this little project.....
Quilting up this appliqued quilt.....
Thanks to Cathy at Bits 'n Bobs for hosting

ReplyDeleteHow nice to see all your smaller pieces up on the wall instead of hiding somewhere. I bet there's lots of memories from blog friends up there. Very pretty colors for your sampler blocks too.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos from your day out!! I would have been in the water too!! Your Sylvia blocks are looking great...bit frightening knowing how many pieces are involved!!! Not too many to go if you are up to 95!! Your wall looks great with the hangings on it...love the poster on your cabinet!!
ReplyDeleteA lovely productive week!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place.....I would have found it hard to resist the creek, even though I usually don't do water! You've certainly had a busy weekend, good to see you aren't sitting around doing nothing. *grin*
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are amazing...especially when you break it down into pieces. I love your pretty art wall. You look like you have a wonderful spacious room....jealous here in my cupboard cave lol! What a great outing....loved your piccies and the pool looked so cool and inviting. No wonder you couldn't resist xx

ReplyDeleteMore lovely blocks and I enjoyed your photos of your adventures . Hugs
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks you got. Love the fabric you are using, especially in the Ducks and Ducklings. Gorgeous. Your sewing place is so nice with all your friends' minis surrounding you. What a great way to be inspired. I have also enjoyed seeing the weekend in pictures. Careful of the dragon! ;^)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Nice blocks and quilting too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous new blocks!
ReplyDeleteYour mini wall looks great.
Looks a great day out dragon hunting with widget
Love your nature pics, your new blocks are lovely, tis going to be a gorgeous quilt. Your sewing wall is a lovely daily reminder of your friends :)
ReplyDeleteOh what a great pic of you & the little man under the waterfall Fiona! And your wall of minis is gorgeous - lovely work in each of them.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm not trying to be smartass but I'm confused about the piece count on the blocks - I'm counting 25 in the Duck Ducklings block at the top & 32 in the Fools Puzzle - am I counting correctly, or is there a different method?
I think working with a group is definitely the best way to get these blocks done. You are making great progress.
ReplyDeleteLovely work with your covered box and your wall of lovelies.
Love the bush pics, too.
I do love your mini quilt display, and you certainly have been busy with your blocks. Your day out looked lovely. A cool dip would have been just the ticket.
ReplyDeleteOh Fiona your blocks are just wonderful....just love them! I haven't gotten back properly I to mine but I will! I. can just imagine the colour of that tree...so awesome!
ReplyDeleteDear Fiona,
ReplyDeletejust adore your blocks, the fabrics and stitching is adorable.
Great decoration on the wall, how lovely to look at it.
Greetings,
Sylvia
