Hi
Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July !
After finishing my Willow Weave quilt I decided it was time to look for my next quilt project and there it was ................ PEPPERMINT PLACE 6 month BOM !! PERFECT!
For you that follow my blog you may remember this was a gift that was given to me by Doreen for my B-day / Christmas present . When I received my first block in January I made it right away and then other projects came up and it just sat. Meanwhile every month I would receive another block to make. I plan on finishing this UFO this month so that I can enjoy it for Christmas .
ISN'T THIS JUST THE CUTEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January I made Block #1 " St. Nick's Nest "
Tuesday I made Block #2 " Snowbirds Welcome "
Wednesday I made Block # 3 " All Decked out "
I still need to finish the machine applique & embroidery on
Thursday I cut out all of my pieces for block # 4 " Sweet Treats "
and found that I was short on the fabric for the perch. I contacted the
shop & they are mailing me that fabric :-D
Thursday I cut out all of my pieces for block # 4 " Sweet Treats and found that I was short on the fabric for the perch. I contacted the shop & they are mailing me that fabric :-D
So..................... Thursday I finished sewing bock # 5 " Pine Tree Perch "
You may notice that the bottom 1/2 is not sewn on. The pattern says not to sew this
till I get to pattern #6 . Also I still need to machine applique & do a little embroidery .
This is pattern #6 " ASSEMBLING THE QUILT I will not be able to do anymore sewing on this till Sunday . I think I will start on pattern # 6 and keep going till my fabric comes in the mail to complete #5. I plan on piecing everything then machine applique, embroider everything and then sew the top together :-D
THE FINISHED SIZE OF THIS QUILT IS 64" X 64 "
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND !!!
