I have just finished up my Tetris quilt top and need to quilt it soon. Think I will just make a giant Tetris piece for the back. My son has nabbed this for his room. He loves the bright colours.
I have also been busy with bee blocks. I love the online bees and have met some fabulous fellow quilters through them. This next one was an angel block for a member who did not receive a block from a fellow hive member. It's the Rocky Road to Kansas block from Faith at Fresh Lemon Quilts. Her instructions are always very clear and it was a pleasure to make.
This next one was a block for someone in my Modern Minx bee where we are all making something from the Modern Blocks: 99 Quilt Blocks book. Jo wanted bright bold colours. I think this fits the bill!!
Another challenge was in the Modern 99 bee where Shawn wanted a little girl. I chose to free piece this one and it was fun. I am definitely a "follow a pattern" kind of girl, so this was really putting me outside my comfort zone! Very retro 70s I think!
And my last bit of creating came about as a bake-off at work where we were making cupcakes from the book Ripe which is a cafe in Auckland. I love this book and have made so much from it. Just need to take a road trip to the cafe now! I had so much fun decorating these and it seemed a shame to eat them! Even the little ladybugs were edible.
Wow, Deb, can I come to your place and eat cupcakes? Those are amazing!!! And you're right, really too pretty to eat....
ReplyDeleteThose lambs are cute as can be, too!
Oh, I love baby lambs and their sweet antics and adorable faces - they always look like they are smiling. I wouldn't want to eat the cupckes either - oh, they are too pretty!
