I have a mini block parade to show you today. The flowers in the above photo have nothing to do with the block parade, but they look rather celebratory, don’t they? They are so pretty at this time of year!
Squirrel!
If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, you know I love squirrels, both the animal kind and the quilty diversion kind. So when Sandra of Sandra Healy Designs put out a call for testing this block, I couldn’t type yes fast enough. It was so much fun to stitch up. I was grinning the whole way through. I know several of you who really need to make this block – you know who you are!
I notice the second acorn got cut off in the photo, because someone else was sticking his toes in. He likes watching the squirrels outdoors and in, too!
Not long after she released the squirrel pattern, Sandra sent this cute Toadstool pattern along. It was fun to play with fabrics. I used some leftover ombré Fairy Dust fabric (V&Co) for the tops. Both patterns are available in Sandra’s shop here.
How about a little Llama Drama?
I’m making some simple quilt blocks for the classroom doors at our church. I can’t help grinning whenever I make one of these llama blocks. The pattern is by Sew Fresh Quilts. I’ve made two others, which you can see here and here. Each one has its own personality. It’s a fun way to play with some fat quarters or scraps.
Meet Alphie.
Someday I may need to make an entire llama quilt – how fun would that be?!
And that’s my mini Block Parade for today, just to catch you up on what I’ve been working on in my quilt room. Of course, there’s other quilt projects happening too, some of which you’ve seen on my Instagram feed (@piecefulwendy). I have an eclectic mix of projects, and I’m enjoying each one!
Coming up soon will be my 2021 Monthly Color Challenge block, so be watching for that!
Happy Stitching!
Wendy
