Breathe
This block like life is filled with small challenging pieces to fit together. Take it one step at a time and remember to breathe.
Flower Basket
HEHE - I didn't notice the block was put together wrong until I took the photo. Too funny and not everything in life is PERFECT!
Grab the Opportunities!
With Covid, we lost so many things - big family gatherings, going to restaurants etc. But we gained too, learning to 'zoom' with family, having virtual trunk shows and so on. This block is to remind us to grab the new and unique opportunities we have available!
Take One Hurdle At A Time
Sometimes life can throw a whole bunch of bumps in the road all at once. Sometimes that can seem overwhelming. This block name is to remind that taking things one at a time is sometimes the best way to deal.
Appreciate!
Appreciate the family and friends, but appreciate strangers. I recently watched an ambulance with sirens go by and was so appreciative of all the vehicles that automatically moved over and just knew that was the right thing to do. This is just one example of how we can appreciate how wonderful people can be.
This is the centre of my Snoopy original quilt I am working on. I have sketched a few ideas down so just need to make the blocks so I can see which looks the best. Wish me LUCK!
Again, I need a better design wall!
Here is my first paper piecing block for my Snoopy Original quilt I am working on in my head. I also have the "Snoopy" centre which I will post on it's own. That was made a while ago.
Franklin was my first and I'm not sure about the embellishment I did as I don't want it to come unravelled when washed. Guess I will wait and see.
Still not a fan of paper piecing but hopefully I will get the hang of it. I find you use more material than you should but maybe that is because I'm not that experienced.
I think I also need a better design wall as all my blocks I take pictures of from my chair all are crooked!
So I have this Halloween design in my head. I found this paper piecing pattern online, so attempted it with my scraps. I'm happy how it turned out. Now to get the rest of the design out of my head and made into a wall hanging. Hopefully I can get this done before Halloween,
