First of the Lollipops.....

These are the start of my lollipop blocks. Love the pattern by Kim! Am using fabrics from Kaffe and Jane Sassaman. The backgrounds will be of various fabrics, like I usually do in my quilts.
The photo of the blocks are a bit washed out, but that's due to the photographer.....me!
Originally, I was going to only applique four blocks (they were to be picture framed), but because I'm enjoying the outcome of the blocks, I've decided to sew more blocks. Guess the quilt is taking on a life of it's own!

  9. Your blocks are so lovely, Mona; I can see why you want to keep going. There is a subtlety to your fabric choices that keeps the overall look rather soft and lower contrast than many we have seen. I continue to be amazed at how different the same pattern can look depending on fabric choices.

  17. The cambridge satchel bag is not a new idea but it's been given a whole new style and class with this selection from My Bag! It's a great choice to have if you want to have a decent size bag that's easy to carry. Their hermes h belt all have a simple carry handle on top as well as shoulder straps for wearing them across your body. If you need to a new handbag then this is what you should be getting this season. They're all beautifully designed and made from the finest quality materials. The designers have put a lot of thought hermes birkin into what women want from a bag and there are various pockets for different things.
