Many thanks to Cheryll for inviting us to join her again last Friday. For one reason or another Friday was a stitchy non event for me - all I managed were a few bits of quilting on my Pink BOM which seems to be taking me ages to finish!
I received some happy mail last week - these gorgeous Island Batik fabrics which I won in a blog hop from Turid.
At the moment they are still too gorgeous to unwrap but I will soon find a project for them I am sure.
I finished off the little crazy quilting pincushion that I was making
The patchwork girls came last week and started on their next block of the Mystery Quilt. This is what they are making.
A Log Cabin, log cabin! Now, I got the idea for this block from a blog but stupidly did not make a note of whose blog! So if you are reading this then please, please contact me so that I can credit you.
Update May 2019 - I finally found the inspiration for my block! here My thanks to JanineMarie of Quilts from the Little House whose beautiful log cabin block I copied!
And finally, I have completed two more blocks for the RSC - September
and October
I am off to UK again this week but hope to be back in time for FNSI - so see you there.
OMG! I am so in love with your pincushion. It's the prettiest one ever.
