This fun block for the July drawing comes with an "I don't usually applique" disclaimer; there are some very accomplished appliquers in both my quilting groups (Busy Bees and Foothills), and this block doesn't come anywhere close to approximating their skills. But hopefully once it's in the winner's quilt, surrounded by the other happy blocks, it will more or less blend in.
Here's a counted cross-stitch birth announcement pillow I made for Gracie
and the two sides of a happy pillow I made as a baby present for Morgan
And while I'm showcasing pillows, here's a flint-knapping one I made for Tom
Today was Charity Day at Busy Bees, and we were getting tops 'sandwiched' with batting and backing in preparation for quilting. This scrappy Crazy 8 top I made a while back floated to the top of the pile. (It may appear back here again once it's been quilted.)
While I'm showing scrappy, here's a WIP that I love because the pieces are mostly fabrics from quilts I've made, so it brings back great memories.
And before I head off to dinner I'll end this entry with 'food for thought'
