Just stitching away quietly and noticed that it is almost time to turn the calendar over to a new month.
There is not much to talk about so let me show you a pillow that I finished last June.
It began with two fabrics that caught my eye. I wanted to showcase those lovely little birds (don't know the name of the fabric range) and I love this background fabric from Modern Background Essentials by Brigitte Heitland (Moda Fabrics).
The birds became star blocks, 6" finished, and I auditioned lots of fabrics until I found just the right ones.
There were more decisions to make because some cornerstones were needed.
The final cushion is 20" square and the backing is this great fabric with writings by Van Gogh to his brother, Theo.
(Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam by Robert Kaufman fabrics)
It now lives on the bed in the spare room with some friends that I will introduce at a later date.
The pillow was machine pieced and hand quilted.
And some more One Block Wednesday blocks .......
My count - 53.
Temecula count - 120.
