So far behind

Thanks Perri for the warm welcome. I feel so far behind! I discovered the magazine at our local patchwork shop in Northumberland UK and couldn't wait to start. I've chosen the Lily and Will fabrics by Moda in blues, greens, pinks, creams and browns so the finished quilt (should it ever become that!) will look totally different to the photos in the magazine - I love seeing everyone else's fabrics and can't wait to see them all finished! My Mum has suggested that because the fabrics and design are all soooo lovely, I should wait to start it until I have finished some of my current projects.... :( - don't you just hate it when parents are right.... but I'm not sure my will power is sufficient so I may be joining you shortly!

Block one is done....

and I love it to bits.

I've started Blocks 2 & 3.  I've chosen to do the border in one long piece too.   I've rolled it up like a parchment at clipped it with a couple of border clips.  Works a treat.

The sneak peak of the next block is gorgeous... can't wait for the next issue of Vignette to see the whole block.

Hope you are all enjoying your stitching

A Small Preview...

I am so thrilled that you are all enjoying 'Vignette In Stitches' so much. I thought that you girls should be the first to see a little preview of what's coming in the next issue:

Finally starting?!?

 I finally have the first two Vignette magazines, the fabrics have been chosen, and I just need to get cutting. I'm so far behind every one else, but I'm hoping it won't be long and I'll be caught up.

 The fabrics I have chosen are from Holly Holderman's line with Lake House House Dry Goods.  They are bright and cheery and totally different than anything I have ever worked with.   Guess I had better get to work. :)  Kristen

Block One Hexie Quilt.

9 to go...I am using 3 ranges from Blackbird Design..At Waters Edge-Harvest Home and Rhubarb & Ginger. I am calling this Quilt my Scrappy Blackbirds...
I Fiddled the Centre blocks stitching them with Threads...first one in Brown thinking they will blend in with the fabrics..no that didn't work..then I did one in dk Red similar to Leanne's..no that didn't work either...I quite like them just hand traced in the light Brown Pen that I use...so that's what I have gone with...with these fabrics the stitched centres were too much taking the eye away from the fabrics...
I'm happy with my choice.
cheers

Also started on block 2 & 3

I made some progress with block 2 & 3. Almost all the patchwork is done. Rest me only the stitching. I like to do this very much. Perhaps a little bit less after finishing these blocks. I try to figure out how the quilt is going to look like and that means that I have to do this another tree times. Time will tell.... if I'm right or not. Still working with pleasure on the blocks.

Block & Blog

Happy Easter everyone!

Finished Block 1 (NOT!)

Unlike Sue and all of you clever speedy stitchers working on block 2 and 3, I am yet to completed block 1.


I am close though, in relation to the stitchery I have a few butterflies left to chain stitch and 2 shoofly blocks (well technically 1 - as I am making the blocks for block 1 and 8 (? was it 8 or 16?) as per Leanne's instructions)





Again, I adore Rosalie Quinlan's Sweet Broderie fabrics and have purchased bits on sale from various places, so I can add to my stash and maybe get a few hexagons out of them too!

I am looking forward to finishing it and getting a start on Block 2 and 3 soon.
Hope all of your Vignette in Stitches and Vignette Hexagon Quilts and any other stitching or life projects are going well.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
*hugs*
