Is there a better way to end the week then in one's sewing room? Mine was a welcomed refuge after a crazy week at work!
I finished Lori's Sew Along Block, Abundance. It has been fun viewing all the Abundance blocks that have invaded blogland! Thank you Lori, for sharing your talent with so many of us... your instructions were awesome! I'm looking forward to more Sew Along tutorials from you!
I'm pleased with the results, although I should know better than to sew when I'm tired! This block is far from my best work... I almost didn't post this picture! But, you know what? I've never made the perfect block, or the perfect quilt! I won't be entering this in the Iowa State Fair come this summer, and I don't allow THE QUILT POLICE in my sewing room! What makes me happy is how the finished block looks with my favorite childhood doll. Her flannel pajamas pick up the fabric colors of the block... and I didn't plan that!
Today I spent a good part of the day with four other quilting gal pals, each of us making a Moravian Star. It was an enjoyable day, and I'm liking this project! This isn't something that can be made in one day... it will be a work in progress, and a fun one at that. I will post about it in a day or two.
Happy sewing!

Your Abundance looks wonderful with your favorite doll. It is a fun little quilt, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a sew day with friends. Looking forward to seeing that star!
The little quilt looks fantastic. What better way to spend the day with quilty friends.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful !
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderfully fine to me! I haven't started mine as yet but hope to get to it in a couple of days. Just thinking about spending a day with my quilty friends makes me smile. Eve with all the laughing and chatting, we all seem to get so much done.
ReplyDeleteI love your little quilt! I'm a little tempted to try it! Looking forward to seeing the Moravian Star!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable! I didn't start mine until yesterday afternoon and I don't think I've ever had so many things go wrong on one little project. I still have the final round to do to finish it, so I hope I can do it without a catastrophe happening!
ReplyDeleteI think your Abundance looks great - I love the soft colors you used. Glad you had a fun sewing day!!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, looks perfect to me, such soft colors.
ReplyDeleteWell I love it. I just picked out my backing fabric and will quilt it later this week. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThat is a sweet little Abundance quilt! Very lovely. Love the doll sitting on top of it too :) How sweet to be able to have a quilt for your childhood doll!
ReplyDeleteYour Abundance quilt is wonderful! Love your sweet childhood doll with it.
ReplyDeleteYour "abundance" is adorable! Perfect for a favorite doll
ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect quilt for a beautiful doll from your past. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteYour version of 'abundance' is beautiful, and how wonderful that you still have your childhood doll who absolutely needed this little quilt!
ReplyDeleteSo like that you have a favorite dolly posed next to your sweet Abundance quilt - really cute!
