Oh! The gems we find when working with scraps!
This one certainly was a fabric of Grandmother's; I certainly wasn't sewing in 1991 :)
My "handwork" today consisted of de-papering twenty 8"x11" string blocks for the borders of Jamestown Landing. (Is that considered "real" handwork?) :D
AND LOOK!!!!!!!!! After spending most of the day with strings, the border is finished!
Jamestown Landing (84" x 97")
AND, I even managed to find enough string varieties of "teal/aqua" for Angela's August Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
I don't know if I'm "done" for the day, or not. Hmmm......we'll see.
JL is beautiful! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI am lovign this quilt! Stunning. This pattern is on my to do list. I have so many neutral strips and scraps to use up! Thanks for sharing! I know how much work you put into it!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Jamestown looks amazing. Just the inspiration I needed after figuring out that I STILL need 324 more HST units! I hope you are still going strong, I am ready to start on lesson plans for tomorrow:( I hope you sew into the wee hours!
ReplyDeleteOh they both look wonderful! I am going to go sew today, it has been 12 days since I have been up there. It is sewing time for me. I might have to check out that Jamestown pattern, and see what I have to do that one in a leaders and enders kind of project. little string blocks I like. I just don't like the big ones, they bore me too much. But I love stars, lots of stars. Still working on Orca bay too.
ReplyDeleteA very productive day! That does indeed qualify as hand work, although not usually considered one of the fun types! Thanks for linking up!
