Block 32 was designed by Laurie Simpson and is a really cute block which I thoroughly enjoyed stitching. It features an applique flower and is called 'The Constant Needle'. I chose to piece together some scraps of background fabric that I had left over from previous blocks to make the background for the applique. I also added some colonial knots to the centre of the flower.
The next block, block 33 was designed by Pat Sloan and is called 'Selvage Saver'. It was wonderfully quick to put together and a fun way to use up some fabric selvages. I used some fabric strips as well as a few selvages and I love the finished block.

DeleteHi Christine,wow another two beautiful blocks to add,well done :)
ReplyDeleteHi Shez! Thank you! I really enjoyed these two blocks! Christine x
DeleteDer Block ist ja auch wieder hübsch!
ReplyDeleteGruß Marion
Thank you Marion! They were two nice blocks to make! Christine x
DeleteThey're both very pretty! I need to start saving selvages. I recently saw yardage that was printed to look like sevfeges. That might be more my style!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sunny! Yes, I have seen that fabric too... in fact I think I saw it used for this block! Christine x
DeleteBeautiful blocks, the flower is my favourite, I always like the combination of hand stitches and pretty fabrics.

ReplyDeleteThank you Janet! They were fun to make! Chrissie x
DeleteI like it with the patchwork background fabrics. Makes it look even prettier.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I had run out of the fabric I was using for backgrounds so I improvised! Christine x
DeleteLiebe Christine,
ReplyDeleteda sind ja wieder schöne Blöcke entstanden. Habe mir auch die anderen noch angeschaut. Das wird sehr schön.
Liebe Grüße

Thank you Monika! There are certainly lots of lovely block designs here and they are fun to try! Christine x
DeleteI still have to begin with these two, and I may "borrow" your idea for the flower background. So clever! I'm worrying about running out of big pieces of fabric for the backgrounds in the latest blocks, so I think a pieced background for n.31 is just genius! Again, that red print in n.32 is impressive... Have a nice week, Ariadna.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ariadna! I didn't have the background piece that I wanted either without cutting into a much bigger piece of fabric so I thought piecing some scraps would be a good idea.... adds extra interest too! Have a lovely week too! Christine x
DeleteVery pretty blocks--I especially love the fabrics you chose for your flower--charming!
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen! I had been saving the middle fabric of the three flower layers especially for something like this! I was pleased with the result! Christine x
DeleteBoth blocks are just lovely, I like that you pieced the background on the applique block , very clever 😊
ReplyDeleteThank you Sheila! They were both a lot of fun to stitch! I really liked how quickly they both stitched up! Christine x
