Firstly, last week was the June link up for the 'Patchwork with Stitchery' sew-a-long hosted by Martina at Sunshine Quilting. My contribution for the sew-a-long this month is another of the pretty 'United Stitches' blocks I have been working on. Another cute design by Rosalie Dekker (Quinlan) which was quick and easy to stitch.
I also completed a couple of short segments of week 48's stitch for the TAST Challenge hosted by Sharon Boggon at Pin Tangle. It was another really fun stitch to learn and is called 'Knotted Feather Stitch'. You can find Sharon's tutorial for it here.
Then there have been three blocks for the Splendid Sampler. Block 39 was another paper pieced block but as I didn't really have the time to struggle with a paper pieced block and, I had seen a lovely appliqued version of the block by my blogging friend Sheila, I simplified my block too. The original block was designed by Aylin Ozturk and is called 'Balls in the Air'.
Block 40 was designed by Barbara Groves and Mary Jacobson of Me and My Sister designs. It is a cute pieced block called 'Flights of Friendship'. This had a special meaning to me as I had the opportunity to meet Barb and Mary at a class earlier this year.
Block 41 was designed by Jennifer Mathis and is called 'Sew South'. I loved this cute little block!
I also forgot to show you my latest EPP block which I have been working on. It is from a Craftsy class taught by Helen Stubbings. My first EPP star!
Lastly, I have managed to sneak in some free motion quilting practice and, I finished another block for my FMQ Sampler. It uses a motif by Christina Cameli which she calls 'marbles'.
I think that is it.... hope you all have a lovely week (Happy 4th July to my American friends!) and I'll catch up with you again next time!
