Baby steps...


I'm making baby step progress on the 10th block of my "All Around the Town" by Sue Garmon.  I've appliqued aspects of the house, but still need to applique it to the background.  I went a little nuts and added window box gardens with embroidered Marigolds and a cobblestone sidewalk. 




I've only had little chunks of time to sew over the past few days, but I've really taken advantage of those stolen moments working on this block and the last two.  Since I'm making a few modifications, I have to work on them together to make sure the changes will work between the 3 blocks.


I've also prepped my letters for my word border for my chocolate bunny quilt.  Now I need another 30 minute chunk of time to finish the initial glue work.  I can't wait to spread them out on the border fabric to see what the phrase will really look like (Just hand over the chocolate...and no bunny gets hurt!)

Is this pitiful, or what?!?  This is Weasley's favorite spot in winter.  Right under my feet at the kitchen sink where there is a heat register to blow on his abundant belly.


Ahhh...to be a cat...zzz...

In stitches,
Teresa  :o)

  2. Really nice house block. As for the cat, he's so cute, looks like ours (same colour) and just as lazy.

  5. Your All Around Town quilt is just the kind of quilt my friends and I love to see in a quilt show, ones with lots of little surprises and details. Love the flowers in the window box and the stepping stone.
    Happy Stitching,
    Cheri
    PS. Smart cat

  12. Teresa I tried emailing you but I cant have my computer set up right. Wow what can I say what you do looks awesome. I started patchwork and quilting a little over 1 year ago caught the bug off my mum. I love it and my grandchildren are starting to enjoy it.When I say I am going to look for material they all want to come. Here in New Zealand we are paying $30 a metre for our material so I dont get that much just what I need. I love your stash and how you have set it up.
