Swoon Practice

I love this Swoon block by Thimble Blossoms

I decided to make a practice block and liked it so much I finished it into a small quilt.

Hand quilted with natural perle #8

Looks good on a  table, this sewing machine works but I haven’t  used it for a while.

Confession ~ I have more sewing machines than I can use… but not as many as I once had

Topsy Turvy

Made from Amanda Jean’s Pattern at the Moda Bake Shop

I think I started this back in March… at least it was March 2011, lol

I used the Simple Abundance fabric line by Thimble Blossoms, I love this fabric !!

It took me a little longer because I hand quilted straight lines with perle #8.  I love hand quilting and this is the first time I have used the perle , I really enjoyed it, the stitches don’t have to be so tiny.

I pieced the back, this picture is kind of bright … oh well

I added a border so it finished up measuring 74”x82”.
