We had lots of huge storms in March - so much thunder and lightning. One Saturday afternoon we lost power for a few hours so I lit some candles and cut out Thimble Blossoms' new "Picnic" quilt, mostly from my Thimble Blossoms scrap bags.
Around 6 years so when making a quilt, I'd make an extra block in Bonnie and Camille fabric and when there was a stack of blocks I'd sew them together into a sampler quilt. I came across a bag with some blocks, HST offcuts etc and thought it was time to make another sampler so started making blocks based on the quilts I've recently finished and my current sewing.
Making the blocks fit does my head in.
Had to add a border or two.
In late March there was lots of chain piecing to make Four Patches and Flying Geese for "Master Plan", a Miss Rosie's Quilt Co design. These were cut out in February. I've put them away for a while.
Definitely entered my Flying Geese phase. In May last year I cut out Cotton Way's "Wish Upon a Star" quilt in Navy Bonnie and Camille, Thimble Blossoms and Tasha Noel fabrics with Moda Bella Solid 200 for the background. I've been sewing the block components over the last couple of weeks and they're slowly coming together. It's school holidays here and there hasn't been a lot of time for sewing.
Easter Sunday was a lot of fun - the little ones had a great time hunting for eggs and Vinnie decorated cupcakes.
