There was a package of Heat and Bond EZ Print Lite, which I had been wanting to try, some bright cute FQ's, a cute little zippered pouch, a Book Lovers Soy Candle, a Moon Flower Mini pattern, a cute note pad holder with a note embroidered on the front, some machine quilting needles, Diagonal Seam Tape, and the cutest little Flower Pins! I really appreciate these treats Susan, and thanks again!
For the past 2 days I have been working on the blocks for the Ella Maria Deacon Quilt for December. This BOM is being done by Gay at Sentimental Stitches
Yesterday I worked on that paper-pieced bottom left block ALL DAY LONG. I had some goof ups and had to start over on 3 pieces. I do not like paper-piecing at all and I struggle with it constantly. But it seemed the quickest way for me to do it. The other 3 blocks I worked on Sunday, prepping, and putting the bottom right block. That little sucker had 3 set-in seams on each corner. It isn't perfectly flat but I'm not doing it over.
So today I have figured out the borders I am going to put on my Hospital Sketches applique BOM by Barbara Brackman @ Civil War Quilts. I wanted to finish this top at least before the new BOMS for 2020 come out in a week or two. There is going to be a pieced quilt called Yankee Notions you can read about here, and an applique one called Cassandra's Circle you can read about here.
Well better get to work. Have a safe New Year's Eve!
Your Deacon blocks turned out well. A couple were bound to be not too easy to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteI really like these blocks. This is going to be fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteOhh, I love the block on the lower right, the one with the circle and hearts in the center! Wow, what a beauty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift from Susan.
