Welcome to my new followers. Thanks for your interest.
This weekend has been spent catching up on several projects.
I am participating in a year-long swap with the scratchingpost yahoo group. Each month 50 of us send out cupcakes to those having a birthday during the current month. The picture below shows cupcakes that I sent out for the April birthday girls.
We are also doing a "Cuppa Joe" swap. I have received about 10-12 cups, but have not taken a picture of them. Sometimes in the next month I will get them out and share them with you.
I have also finished the next block in the AccuquiltGO! quilt-along. Block 4 is tumblers. We made six sets of three tumblers sewn together, and a long strip of tumblers. These blocks were made using our light
and darks neutrals. My dark neutral has an obvious directional print. I cut two of the tumblers out in the wrong direction. Since I used up all of my originally chosen dark, I had to pick out another design to complete the blocks. I found the perfect color in my stash - Handspray by RJR Fabrics. If any additional dark neutrals are used in the quilt-a-long, this is the fabric I will be using. I think it blends in quiet well. What do you think?
The "Just Needles" group of Pascagoula is making a couple of quilts. The focus fabric chosen is the floral fabric seen in the picture below. Isn't it beautiful!! I chose to combine it with the green and purple fabric shown. I loved how the "Lovers Knot" block turned out in this color combination. Click on the picture to get a better view of the fabrics.
I had made this pattern earlier this month for a secret project that I cannot share at this time. I just loved the pattern, so I made it again with this color combination. The picture does not do the colors justice.
