'morning chickadees....
am pleased to announce to myself and other interested people...i have scratched my stitch itch for the first time since the mad rush that was Christmas....what a bummer that i have to return to work next week!!
bernie bernina and i got up close and personal with each other yesterday...have been itching to stitch some more wonky log cabin blocks. i found a great tutorial here before Christmas. after using it for the Christmas tree skirt, i just KNEW i wanted to use the block for my "fresh and white" project...so, i did some stash scavenging and came up with the following blocks.....my "guidelines to self" included.......
- red/white spot for all centres
- white for all outer logs
- palette of red, aqua, pink, white with just a smidgen of that gorgeous "apple-y" green.......
...this is what they look like so far....
....yep, i'm loving it.....
