g-l-o-r-i-o-u-s!!! I did some SEWING today. : ) Thank you for your kindness and understanding. I am working on Kim's Hearts and Flowers quilt. I have NOT enlarged the pattern. I am sewing it actual size, and I am doing it by machine. Here's what I've got so...sew far.
Piecefully, Pam
Beautiful, Pam! Glad you made some time to sew. Love the oranges and the center heart fabric makes the block!
ReplyDeleteWOW, Pam! It is s-e-w scrumptious!! What wonderful choices. We are all happy that you had some time to stitch today.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week-end!

Awesome job and so detailed.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! It is so much fun to see the color choices others make for the same pattern. It is so inspirational. And Pam, Thank you so much for taking the time you do for this blog. Now, it's up and running....take time for yourself. ;-) I will say quilter's are patient. How else would we devote so much time to cutting fabric up and putting it back togehter!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! By machine may be the only way I could get all those little inner curves done so well......wonderful fabric choices, too!
ReplyDeleteWhen you start out and have a picture in your mind how you want it to be, does it turn into something different? Usually does with me! It is a lovely applique.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice you've gotten a chance to do some sewing! I love you fabric choices..so pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this colour harmony!!! Quite peacefull in fact:)
ReplyDeletePam,
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you stitching! Love it!
Beautiful Colors, I love your background and I love your color choices, they must make you dance. Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful with the yellow and I love the mix of colours with it. I must go look at the size in the book to get an idea of how big it is.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had Time to do some Stitching..Love the Centre & surrounding Orange it really POPS!
ReplyDeletecheers
Wow, Pam, your block just sings! Love the fabrics. The green background mutes it a little and gives it a vintage feel.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Pam. When i clicked onto the photo I could see so much detail..I love that little 'love' circle under the central heart. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks ALL for your sweet remarks!!! ; ) Here are some answers and responses to questions: >this is raw edge applique with a machine blanket stitch >the background is a sort of pale lime green fabric by Mark Lipinski >the largest circles are a tad bigger than a quarter >the "finger fabric" surrounding the central heart was a linen blouse from the Gap that has been donated to this cause...?! >and, no, I don't usually follow a pattern exactly, it is more of a jumping off point for me >I LOVE to add little bits that make the piece mine - like the little hearts and love messages here and there...it makes you have to LOOK - perhaps TwIcE?! ; )
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Pam!! Just love it. Kim McL
