These are the three blocks I managed to put together. I am very pleased with how they are looking. (Sorry about the terrible photos ... I can't wait for summer and better light again!)
I am using shirtings for the light logs ...
and mostly blue and brown Charleston by Judie Rothermel for the dark side.
Next Saturday I am going to a Heritage Stitching Day at Evandale. The four guest tutors are Christine Book, Kerry Gillespie, Brenda Ryan and Vivian Robinson. I will NOT be forgetting my camera this time. Also looking forward to meeting Cathy and Sarah. The flyer I received says that 'High tea will be served for morning tea together with a Roast Luncheon followed by Devonshire tea in the afternoon.' Just gets better and better!
On Sunday I managed to finish two 'secret' projects. Will show some photos after they reach their new homes.
Very nice colours - I like the blue-brown combination. I don´t know if I dare to use my husbands old shirts, but it would be a good idea, because he has to many of them!
ReplyDeleteI´m looking forward to see Oliver again, he´s the cutest cat I´ve ever seen, and I´m allergic, so it´s perfect with a "blog-cat".
I love your colours! Where did you get the blue and brown paisley with stripes? I had that in the pink and the green colourway but didn't see those two. I am sure you will love what Kerry has done for the weekend, have fun!
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to see that you are working on a Quilt-as-you-go, too! Mine is about half done, there was no course around here, so I'm learning by doing, but it seems to work.
