Flower Pot Progress

I started on my Flower Pots journey well over a year ago when I took a class with Pam. Had never done any applique before, and was frankly a pretty awful hand sewer. But the pattern is so beautiful, I was determined to make it work.

My first block didn't take too long


but the second took well over a year. To be fair, I do have a 2 year old and a demanding job, but I'm trying to make more time to stitch, and finished this one earlier this week.


Now onto Block #3... pattern is traced, freezer paper shapes are cut... and starting to stitch...

I'm excited to share this journey with the rest of you. This blog is great inspiration to keep stitching!

    Happy Stitching,

    I am amazed that you manage to sew at all with a two year old. I remember how difficult it was when mine were that age. The stitching looks great and I love the bowl/vase on that block. Well done.

    The positive aspect in not going too fast is that you have very nice vintage KF fabrics:)

    Well done Caroline! I think you're doing extremely well with a two year old and a demanding job. I love your fabric choices and your quilt is coming along really well. In the years to come, you'll remember all the things that are happening now whenever you see this quilt, it's like a diary! Keep posting your photos, we'll all cheer you on! Kim McL
