Happy Almost Spring, Sewers! February was not an overly productive sewing month for me. But I do have a couple little items to share with you.
I sewed up the four patch blocks for the Sew Very Easy – 2024 Block of the Month, Scrappy Sunshine. We started with 288 two and a half inch squares (144 white and 144 multi color). That gave us a total of 72 four and a half inch blocks.
It’s not too late to join the Scrappy Sunshine block of the month. Click here for a link to the introduction video. The best part of the block of the month is that it is free and it helps use up scraps. If you are also participating in the Scrappy Sunshine block of the month, please leave me a comment and let me know what colors you are using.
I purchased the Cupid Box 2024 Limited Edition Mystery Quilting Box from Fat Quarter Shop. It had several fun little items in it. It featured the project instructions and fabric for this sweet table topper.
The sampler box also included a small bag of pink, white, and red buttons of various sizes. For the little bird beaks, I added a couple of heart buttons that were included.
I used some Lori Holt fabric that I had on hand for the backing. I do not have my table topper quilted yet, but I plan to quilt it this month.
I am earnestly trying to not purchase more kits because I have so many in my stash, but I have absolutely no self control!!! I picked up the new Kimberbell Ladder Quilt Machine Embroidery book and CD, the embellishment kit, and the fabric kit from Sew n Sweep in Westminster, MD. I am hoping to start this one soon because I really would like to have it done before the end of the year.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and to comment. I appreciate all of you very much. Until next month, Happy Sewing.
