Hello, It's Me (Again)

Been lazy (it's those dog days of summer), been busy (Labor Day dinner for 20), and now I'm ready to hunker down and stitch.



These would be the 4 blocks (2 of each) for Vintage Rouge. Rather than embroider 'Love', 'Hope', 'Peace', and 'Joy' in the center of them, I futzed around with some free-form applique. This way I'm not limiting this to being a 'Christmas' quilt. Next installment in this quilt begins on Saturday. There's a lot of applique on the borders, so I'll be busy.

On Sunday I'll be in a workshop with Rita Hutchens of 'Totally Tubular' fame. Should be interesting. We don't really make 'something', we learn a technique, but I suppose I'll have to work it into something. (Looks like Suz Zwizzle, Art Quilter will be paying a visit.)

I just need to decide which set of fabrics I'm using and get my homework cut out. Which colors would you choose?

  1. Gorgeous applique.. I think I would choose the oranges since we're heading into fall. Gorgeous fabrics, both sets. xo

  2. Since you're not actually making anything -yet - I'd be tempted to take both pairs and have a play. It looks like it's going to be fun.

  3. Difficult choice, I like them both, and think either would be wonderful in the design. Love the two blocks too!!
