I made them for the Bitty Block Adventure from the Quilty Pleasures blog - run by employees of the QuiltMaker Magazine. I really enjoyed making them. This month's block is really involved... a basket. I don't even know how many to make. I think I'll make a paper pieced pattern and make them that way. I'll be more accurate. These are supposed to be 3.5" and some are only 3.25". Oh, dear!
I love containers. This is a box from Christmas cards a few years ago. Just couldn't throw it away. Inside I keep my
Now for the true confessions part of the blog:
Someone was making hearts yesterday, so last night I tried it. Nooooo I wasn't making two. I put the bottom on the wrong side. Guess I'll make second halves now. (Maybe I need to have an affair? I'll have two valentine hearts... what to do with the second one?)
And this is my finished Project of Doom block #5. We are making a Harry Potter bookcase. The book at the extreme right is the Invisible Book of Invisibility. Once the whole quilt is put together you'll see this one as background. The gold band gives it away. I might change the second book, since it has the same bottom band as the print of the book next to it. I thought I was coordinating the two books. It looks a bit like it is levitating. If I can find a book on the list with levitation in the title I'll leave it the way it is. (That blue print is left over from a skirt I made for my SIL.)
Hubby planted out the Christmas tree today. It's been getting lots of new growth on it indoors. I took pictures, but none of them turned out... they're all fuzzy. That's the way things are here....FUZZY.
Tomorrow we get to take our old married Grandgirl out to lunch. We are looking forward to that!
Happy Hump Day,
Hugs,
Terri

ReplyDeleteMaybe something here will help?
I did a wickerwork and pink version of your bow ties only they were meant to be bones for a dog bed cover. Unfortunately where I used the same pink it ended up looking like a pink trellis on wicker. Ah well the hounds like it. I hope you fare better with your bow ties.
I like the bow ties. I just hate it when a block turns out smaller than it should. Larger I can handle.
ReplyDeleteIt was meant to be that you would make two hearts. Someone needs a heart block. Very nice work all around, Terri. And thanks for linking to WIPs Be Gone. I wouldn't have know about that extra heart otherwise - lol.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you only have an affair with your hubby, you'll be safe ;) I like the invisible book. Cute.
