Quilt News from the valley!
Where we have rain off and on and temperatures are a few degrees warmer. And spring is coming, every morning the sun comes up a bit earlier. Day Light Savings switch soon...
Last week I had time for my 4" Four Square blocks. I found them after storing them away because no inspiration was forthcoming as to what needed to be done with them. Then I came across Beth Shibley's You Tube tutorial on Four Ways to Finish Four Patch Blocks, the light came on, simple yet profound. One of her suggestions is to use a four patch in a square. Great idea and it will use up a lot of scraps and odds and ends.
For my Four Patch in a Square project I'm using some of my Tim Holtz fabric stash, Horticulture and From Camden, two of my favorites, from his Eclectic Elements/Foundations collection.
My glass drying towel with Sashiko and hand embroidery is finished and being used, practical is the word!
And that quilt friends is the news, a finish and a start.
Does spring inspire you to new projects?
