I'm staying busy but not in the sewing room where I'd like to be. I've managed to get a little bit done though.
My bird pinkeeper/scissor holder doesn't look quite as good as Renee Plains does in her book, but it's growing on me. It is filled mostly with walnut litter so it's pretty heavy. Would work for a paperweight too!! It's another gift so I am hoping the recipient will like it.
I got the third block made of "Under the Big Top". I'm having fun working on this quirky quilt!!

I got the third block made of "Under the Big Top". I'm having fun working on this quirky quilt!!I am planning on posting the McLinky for the Strawberry fields quilt next week. I can't wait to see all the quilts. It's ok if it's not quilted but it would be nice if the top was together. It doesn't take much time once the blocks are made.
Have a terrific weekend!!
I think your little bird pin keep is adorable Lori and the "under the bigtop" blocks are very fun and bright!
ReplyDeleteI've had too much going on to be able to join in the Strawberry Fields making, but I will be excited to look at all of the completed tops and quilts.
That quirky quilt of yours is looking wonderful!! Sweet little birdy pin keep as well..so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love Under the Big Top...so bright and cheery. It's so different from what I usually expect from you. I haven't had time to make the Strawberry q-along yet but I sure look forward to seeing everyone else's.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are amazing. So stunning!
ReplyDeleteI think your pin keeper is cute as Renee's. I love it!!
Love that quirky quilt....so many HS triangles, but so pretty! Lots of work, but it will be worth it!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt looks like it takes a lot of mind work. Love it however. I can't wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteUnder the big top is so bright and cheery...love it!
ReplyDeleteI like the pinkeep. I have seen some cross stitch patterns for pinkeeps in that shape and wondered if I could get one to look like it should.
ReplyDeleteI think its a wonderful pinkeeper! Your "bigtop" blocks look great - I love watching your progress with this quilt. I'm looking forward to the Strawberry fields link.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love those little pieces. What a fabulous quilt this will be!

ReplyDeleteI just love under the big top. I'm really enjoying watching it's progress. Oh and what's walnut litter?
ReplyDeleteUnder the Big Top is looking wonderful. I can't help but think about all the pieces in those blocks though.
ReplyDeleteThe pin keep is great, I love the prim look of it. Wow on your big top blocks, they really look the part.
ReplyDeleteI like it (the pincushion). I finished one tonight but haven't posted it yet! Mine is far from perfect too.
ReplyDeleteYour pinkeep is gorgeous Lori. I think the recipient will love it.
ReplyDeleteYour pieced blocks are gorgeous too, so many little pieces in each block!

Your bird pinkeep is very cute. I just bought Renee's book today and am anxious to make several of her items. They are just sooo cute. Nice job.

ReplyDeletei've finally decided on a fabric for the background of my Strawberry Fields quilt. ended up choosing a completely different fabric from all those interviewed . . . prewashed this a.m. and am now going to hunt up the cutting instructions and get back to business on this one.

Lori, My Strawberry Fields quilt is finished...where do I send the picture?
ReplyDeleteWow, your "under the bigtop" blocks are so great! Haven't seen this quilt before. Nice to see a new one, and looking forward to your progress.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely little pin cushion and I've not seen one w/the scissor keeper like this!~ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing your bird pinkeep by Renée Plains. I worked with her as her book editor for A Bird in Hand. It's always neat to see others actually working on the projects from the books.
