I decided I would make up the other 8 blocks now so each month I'll only have to trace on the design and stitch it. Hopefully this will save some time later on when I'm back at work.
Looking forward to seeing the design for block 2.

Hi Christine, I can't beluieve how quick you ladies are to finish things. I'm still thinking about it and your all done. Well done, I like the colours.
ReplyDeleteChristine you're so organised!!! I haven't even traced mine off yet LOL!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Joy :o)
I can't believe that you have it done already and 8 more ready to go! You are extremely organized and they look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteit looks great! I like your fabric choice !!!
ReplyDeleteLovely block and a great idea for preparing the blocks ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteIt´s beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I like the colours of your fabrics!!
ReplyDeleteQuestion for you about pressing the finished blocks. I just pressed my first two Polka-Dot Girls blocks and may have ruined them. Before stitching I ironed on a Pellon interfacing, as instructed. Now, after ironing, the fabric between the stitching looks all bubble. Like the fabric and interfacing have separated. How do you press stitchery blocks?
ReplyDeleteHi Christine. I love your first block. Great job. Your color choices are lovely.
ReplyDeleteWell, aren't you just the smart one;) I haven't even started my first block yet, but hope to get it finished by the end of the week. I like your idea of preparing all of your blocks ahead of time...I think you are right...it will save you time later;)
ReplyDeleteAhhh... love your little block..and already done the blocks...wow... I have drawn mine out tonight so I will stitch later on... :o)
ReplyDeleteWow -- you've really got this organized for yourself!! I plan on doing those blocks too -- guess I'd better get moving on it!

ReplyDeleteLove your first block! What a great idea to make the blocks ahead of time! I think I'll have to make this BOM...yippee...another excuse to go buy more fabric!
ReplyDeleteGosh how sensible Christine. That is being extremely organised.

They are beautiful! I like the colours you chose, they match so well together!
ReplyDeleteVery clever to do the rest of the blocks up in advance. I only got as far as cutting the rest of the center block and then stopped.
ReplyDeleteYour Gail Pan block looks great, I will start tomorrow. Your choice of fabric is looking great.
ReplyDeleteYou're a lot further ahead with this project than me!! What a great idea to make up all the blocks now!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Boy, you're quick!
ReplyDeleteHow smart to do the blocks first, then it's only for you to add the stitchery!
I just love this sweet little block of the month. I really need to find some time and make it. I think your idea to make the blocks in advance was reallly smart.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine,

Hope to visit your blog oftener.
Have a great week :)

Love the block. The fabrics you have chosen look great. And you are so well prepared for the next blocks
ReplyDeleteYou are so motivated, with so many projects on the go! I love both of your new stitchery projects
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to do this BOM. I love the way your first block turned out - beautiful choice of fabrics.
ReplyDeleteMargaret
Hello, I'm new to stitching and to your blog. I just completed my first block last week.. was a BOM from '08 that I saved as I followed along..
ReplyDeleteanyway your "love" block is another I am hoping to start making. I love the fabrics you choose... mind sharing what color numbers of DMC floss you used?
You are smart to make the blocks up ahead of time and I see that you found some frey stoppa so taht should help.. other wise I'd suggest cutting those boarder strips a little widder.. then trim to the perfect size before piecing together if you had freyed edges.
Oh, and your photos are EXCELENT! I am drooling all over my keyboard looking at those and the applique project above. :) I'll be back - bookmarking your blog for sure! Love from Texas! ~bonnie
