Here it is finished!! It really is lovely but I'm thinking that my satin stitched hearts are a bit too naive (in other words, my stitching is not up to scratch!!). I think maybe that after looking at it for a few days, I'll get annoyed with them and may just decide to replace them with some running stitch hearts...... we'll see.
Isn't it neat the friendships you make in bloggy land? And I also love how one thing lead to another which leads to another...and so on....
Firstly it was so exciting that I won a giveaway on Di's blog !! Her posts are always fun and interesting to read and her giveaway competition was a good laugh (I fold my undies the same way Di folds hers!!). It was SO COOL to receive a pack of Moda charm squares in the post from her. Aren't they just gorgeous :-) - they are laid out on some fabric I bought to go with them....As soon as I saw them I knew they would make a brilliant pinwheel quilt; and have been pondering lately exactly how I would do it... Yesterday on Freebies for Crafters there was a link for fast pinwheels using a charm pack..!! This sounded like me - here's the first one; it really was quick and easy.
SO fitting that fabric from Cutie Pinwheel will go into a pinwheel quilt!!
Have a great Sunday everyone!!
Luuuve the snail button.
ReplyDeleteHaven't got my September pack yet. - But I haven't got to even July....
Great job on the stitchery--and I think your hearts are fine--satin stitch is not an easy one--some days mine come out pretty good--then other days I look at it and wonder "who" was really stitching them!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome for the win---it sure looks like you have a great project in the works for it!!!
Hugs, Di
Congratulations on the win!
ReplyDeleteI think your My Garden block looks great...My basket or pot is a bit wonky, but I think it will look fine, I haven't quite finished the stitching.I like the button hole flowers.
You really did a wonderful job, right down to the little snail at the bottom!
ReplyDeleteGreat gifts. Can't wait to see the pinwheels.
Raewyn , your stitchery looks great, don't unpick it. Loving your pinwheels, that tutorial was great wasn't it.
ReplyDeleteHi Raewyn,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I found your blog. I love all your projects - we seem to have very similar tastes. I have been collecting the Lynette Anderson button BOM and intend to sew it over summer. I haven't got block three but it looks fabulous.
Hi Raewyn That looks great - still on my first one - but I have done 32 blocks YES 32 of log cabin - have a look at my site.
ReplyDeleteHi Raewyn, the stitchery looks great, please don't undo that :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd the pinwheels..... super.
Have a nice day.
Your garden block is perfect Raewyn, don't unpick it please, pretty please??? The snail button is such a great touch too! You lucky thing, all those gorgeous fabrics, keep up the great piecing, your pinwheels are going to be fantastic. Hope you have a great week, Nicky.

ReplyDeleteI'll chime in, too! Your garden block looks fantastic! It's such a cute design and you stitched it beautifully! Love all the luscious goodies you received, too! Can't wait to see it all put together.
