This and That…

Very little has been happening around here that pertains to quilting…except for some handwork in the evenings…

Three blocks are finished of Summer Blooms by Primitive Gatherings…

It’s nice to have all the blocks prepped and ready to stitch for when that special moment happens…usually at the end of the day!

The wool pieces are so teeny that I am using a finer needle and ordinary threads…

It seems to be working well…the stitches can’t be seen except from the flash from the camera.

  1. Those are small but you are doing a beautiful job with them. I am in the mood to do some appliqué but have a lot of christmas ones that I want to do so thinking of doing the blocks for now while it is hot, then I can put them together when it cools down.

  2. Your blocks are looking great! Having them already to just pick up and work on them is so productive.

  3. I never thought to use a smaller needle and thinner thread! Thanks for the tip. Very cute blocks :)
