sew busy

last week i dug out my civil war reds to start this little quilt...the blocks will be 8" square when finished.  these are needleturn and it's difficult to see the actual pattern from this photo, but it's more intricate than at first glance.  as mentioned, i was looking at moda's friendship red prints, but after pulling these, i think i have enough for what i need....and then some.  ***** another project, you say?  never fear, i did have 2 small finishes this weekend, will post photos later, so i am getting things off my list, too.  it's easy to do when i spend my free days at home in the studio rather than gallivanting, which i did 2 of 3 days off....more about our daytrip later, too.

  1. Is there nothing prettier than a good Civil War red?

  2. I enlarged the photo and had a good look. Beautiful reds--and that is a lovely pattern. I've never learned needle-turned applique. Can't wait to see these come together!
