The Neighborhood Is Twittering


The day 12 block for

The Neighborhood SAL @ Crabapple Hill Studio

was simple and easy and fun. 


Now I have five blocks done and all the ones to date are sketched.

Auditioning Finishing Fabrics Plan B

I pulled out some more fabrics from my stash to see what might be best for a quilt made with these blocks and think this is the winner!

These fabrics are 


Bluebird on Roses by Elea Lutz

The colors and small prints and florals are perfect

 with the embroidery threads that I have used so far. 

I found a charm pack, a jelly roll and a half yard of the red focus print.

Since I am only planning a small quilt this should be more than enough.

However, I think I have more of these fabrics with which I started a project,

which needs to be found.  Not today though.


Finishing Fabrics Plan A 

This was my first thoughts on fabrics to make a quilt with these blocks.

Which would you choose? 

A or B?

I am going to try to get another couple of blocks done today.

It is over 50 degrees F outside in the scrapatch today.

I opened two of the back windows for awhile.

We will have to close them up tight tonight as the forecast is for temperatures to drop over 30 degrees.


Today, though,

 The Neighborhood Is Twittering @ Crabapple Hill Studio 

and in our backyard with happy birdies.


May you have a happy weekend of stitching and sewing!

These are so cute! I love red and blue, so I'd probably go with both colors :). Love the fabric choice you made!

They are looking lovely! So tempted to start this quilt along, but I know I won’t finish it in time. Instead I am saving it and hoping to stitch it up one day.
