Today I finished the August
and September blocks for the Country Calendar. This is a free BOM from Ellie's Quiltplace.
I should have chosen some reds in different shades for the apples, but I'm pretty pleased with the basket fabric I happened to have in my stash.I know this is against my own interest in a way, but you might want to know about Paulette's giveaway. Paulette is a Canadian quilter, and she is giving away the first issue of a new Canadian quilting magazine, with a fabric pack to make the Christmas quilt on the cover. (Telling you this gave me one more entry ;->.) I found her blog a while ago through Stephanie, and immediately became a follower. Paulette is a recycler like me, but a very talented and productive quilter as well. A hand quilter, too. Go and see her lovely blog.
This is about all I have been doing lately, so I must go and see what I didn't do for the household. Have a relaxing weekend!
Good job keeping up with your calendar quilt. I enjoy seeing your new blocks. We've had lots of grey days and lots of rain today. Good day to sew. Unfortunately I'm making a quilt back and basting the quilt--not fun.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I'm always impressed with these quilting skills. I don't do any of this so it seems amazing to me.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look lovely Ulla. The basket especially.
ReplyDeleteThe pink of your calluna is so lovely.
You flowers are still so gorgeous even with the frost! Love the calendar blocks - especially the apples in the basket - I love apples!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Love your calendar blocks- I might have to do something like that for my mom- with the months written in Finnish. I'll have to look that up!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ulla.
ReplyDeleteI'm' just coming by after your visit awhile back.
Love these little quilt pieces, and I think a bag from your Dad's ties would be a wonderful way to use them and keep them.
