A slow stitching finish and some new blocks...

 S is for Sew is all finished!


I did a lot of hand quilting, sort of big stitch style, around the embroidered blocks and through the sashing and pieced border.


I decided to add this little quilt to the "entry" into my sewing room.

Can you tell that a quilter lives here?!

I've also been working on some hand-pieced blocks this week - four patches in a square - using 30s Playtime and Kona solids.

The top blocks are 6 inch squares.  I think I'll make 9 of them 
and make a little doll quilt, just for fun.

    I like the entry way. I have always found people either love hand piecing or hate it but once you find you like it you tend to always have a project going

    Oh, I can most definitely see a quilter lives in your home, and what a clever quilter she is. I must say your sewing room looks beautiful. So many gorgeous quilts live there.
