Saturday Common Threads Quilt Shop in Waxahachie, TX had a sale. I wanted to go get some reproduction fabric and this is what I got. The shop was mobbed with women looking for bargains!
I won a drawing from Humble Quilts and I just received my prize - these two appliqued blocks, one block just started with all the pieces cut out and the patterns for doing more. Since I am getting more interested in applique, I am going to try to get the third one finished. My needle turn applique skills need quite a bit of practice - if you know what I mean. 
The weather has been reaching 100 degrees every day lately. I do NOT like hot weather.End of the weekend again, but on Wednesday we leave for Florida, so it's only a two day work week for me!
Yay for two day work weeks! Great new fabrics, and I LOVE that first block -- those flowers are so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, the fabrics you chose are lovely! Nothin' like a great repro:)
ReplyDeleteDo you go to Florida for the summer? Or a short time?
Reproductions on sale, you gotta love it! I think the applique blocks are great and the patterns look good too.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win. And enjoy Florida!!!!

Love the fabrics and you are a lucky girl, winning those lovely blocks!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the prize! Lovely appliqued blocks.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip to Florida!
Waiting to see what you do with the applique blocks.
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful appliqued blocks are from the pattern Botanika - I've made those two (which is why I recognized them!) plus two more. There are 12 in all in that pattern. It's a lifetime commitment...at least that's how long it's going to take me to make it! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific prize to win. The blocks look amazing and I can't wait to see how the others will look. You blocks for Bonnie's mystery quilt look interesting. There are so mnay of them! I toyed with the idea of making them but already have enough projects on my plate. I'll just enjoy yours instead. The doll bedding it so sweet. Happy Stitching...Ann :)
