Making Winter Cozier - Two Works in Progress

Winter has been showing off this week, bringing fresh snow and turning the landscape here into a wonderland in white. Meanwhile, I'm working on a couple of cozy finishes!

Doesn't everyone choose the same colours to make slippers to match their quilt? 😉  Just me, then? 😄

Sewing Stars

Happy New Year!

Excited to be kicking off the start of 2020 with sewing my blocks as the Queen Bee in the online rainbow quilting bee I joined last April.  

I asked for whimsical low volume fabrics to be included in my bee blocks - this is a sample block to show what I'm after.

Warm and Spicy

Warm colours on a wintry day! 

  I used this quick piecing tutorial for checkered garden blocks, given by Ashley at Film in the Fridge. 

Rainbow Log Cabin Block

 I love classic quilt blocks and it doesn't get more classic than a log cabin block!  Vickie requested this modified version, in pretty pastels (with a red center!), for her turn as Queen in the Rainbow Bee for November.

Scrappy Ray Block

 The second online quilt bee I have been sewing blocks for this year, is the Rainbow Bee and I have had the pleasure of stitching with a talented and global group of ladies!  For the month of October, Queen Bee, Jasmine selected the Ray Quilt block and requested a rainbow of soft colours for the center of these paper pieced blocks, mixed with happy low volume fabrics for the "rays".
