My 18 Hearts a Day for the Month of May
Keeping pace pretty good so far
making one heart a day not making 31 hearts.
Although, it's killing me to not be making more each day
so
I pulled out some antique Wedding Sampler kits
in anticipation of doing some
English Paper Piecing
I photo copied patterns onto extra heavy freezer paper.
In my inexperienced creativity,
I turned the freezer paper over
and ironed over the seam allowance
then whipped stitched the seams together.
It worked fine for the first triangles
but totally fell apart for the second ones.
Jonathan, who is turning 4 in a couple of weeks,
said he did not like this one
because it looked scary.
so I changed the center octagon.
He likes it better now.
Still lots of applique to do
but I am going away for the weekend with a bunch of junior highs.
And
since it is easy to prep several blocks once I get started,
I prepped 2 more
however
these blocks will all sit on point
so I have to re position this one.
Good thing I noticed
since there is another block exactly like this
without the corner appliques.
Blessings,
Chris

Good catch. I admit.... I have done a few in a day before.....Shhhh. Don't tell anyone!
ReplyDeletePretty hearts - great job playing along and keeping up in this very busy month of May.
I like the shapes in the epp......
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found some time for applique. Have a good time with the junior high children.
ReplyDeleteThat block is looking good!!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting what 4-year-olds see that we adults don't. I liked the one he thought scary but I also like it with the flower in the center. You've got lots of beautiful work going on here.
ReplyDeleteOh my I had to laugh at Jonathan and his perspective on that particular block !! :)
ReplyDeleteLittle kids are a hoot! :)
I love this block, very pretty! Cute hearts too!
ReplyDeleteThose hearts! Makes me want to take on yet another handwork project. I had to laugh out loud at Johnathan's comment--oh, to see through the eyes of a child again!
