International Sue's: Austria & Italy

 

 

Austria and Italy

Llewellyn- Mom and I switched Sue's.  I took Austria (the one holding the music.)  Mom took Italy.  She modeled her fabric after the picture you sent with the pattern.  I think the Red and White stripes speak Italy, don't you?  I've gone back and forth about adding something to either of the blocks.  I think if anything, maybe some cute sparkles on the ice cream would be appropriate.  Feel free to add to the block(s) if you envision something more.

A deal broke out between Mom and I.  She cut and ironed down all the pieces, and I appliqued them down.   I hope you like them both.  I can't wait to see your Sue's altogether!

 

 

Hey everybody. Just to let you know, September's square IS coming. I just have to figure a few things out. We will be making a butterfly blanket for my mom. I'm really excited about it. It should be really easy to put together. Here is a photo for my inspiration. I will have instruction and all that good stuff soon. Thanks y'all! Maria Mae

Washington Island Poppy for Sherrie D.

What a happy block!  I can't wait to see this come together, Sherrie!

For my Sister, Sherrie!

 

 P.S.  I discovered while doing this block that I needed to change out my needle.  Why, you ask?  It was pulling and pushing threads through the fabric.  It also appeared to have a tension problem.  All was rectified with switching out my needle.  I'm curious.  How often do you switch out your needle???

A long lost feather for my friend, Emily!

Cherries for Elizabeth's Birthday!

I have been working on this on and off... more off... for more than a year. I finished it this morning. Elizabeth's girls and I counted all of the squares with cherries in them... there are at least 51!! 

I think that should satisfy Elizabeth's love of cherries (and Mary Engelbreit).

Happy Birthday! To my best oldest daughter. Cheerio!

Love, Mom
