My Second Block

I have had a rare day with nothing on my schedule or "to do" list for the day and got to finish this block. What fun, just get up, slip into comfy clothes, no make up, no hair curling, just sew. I am doing my blocks with blanket stitch applique, I had the block prepped and started a while back. I have enjoyed reading all of your posts and seeing every one's blocks.
Happy Holidays all,
Cheri

  3. Hi Cheri,
    Great to see that someone else is not doing traditional applique. I don't use the blanketstitch, since I'm a cross stitcher I cross stitch around the edges! Love your fabrics, great job.

  6. Excellent fussy cutting, Cheri. It must take longer to blanket stitch than to needle turn, but the effect is so pleasing with your color palette.
