I've made a start on my Signature Blocks! Should I ask your opinion? These are made from Windham Fabrics Regency Dandy Ca. 1810 - I love them, but I know they won't be everybody's cup of tea - but then, I know I would like a few scattered through my quilt! I'll decide on the other 60 when I get back to the machine!
My BOM from Material Obsession has arrived - it looks just a little challenging - maybe as I progress, I will feel less daunted - see the little pic on my Sidebar. I love the fabrics and notice the little pink piece on the left looks very much like a Regency Dandy to me - must be one I missed out on!
I'm chuffed - I was able to purchase and download this pattern - I have always wanted to make an Annie! I'll have to try to track down my old equipment - I think DD's have some!.jpg)
Look how beautifully these camellias are holding up - what a happy hello in My Studio! Along with treasured gifts from Narelle of Nell's Notions ,on the right, and Chookyblue on the left. This brings me to share a little secret - it's Chooky's Happy Birthday tomorrow! ♥
Blogger was very naughty to me earlier in the week - I lost my Blogs I Follow like a lot of others, so I am way behind in reading and Commenting - late with Replies again, too - oh, the story of my life!
♥
Have a Happy Weekend - I hope mine is spent sewing!
Oh I would so love one of your blocks in my quilt, keep using the fabric, I think people will love them!! Pink flowers, wow are they beautiful!! have fun with Annie!
ReplyDeleteI love your signature blocks. A friend of mine is participating in that swap too. Sounds like fun. The BOM does look a little intimidating but I'm sure you'll have it completed in no time.
ReplyDeleteI love your Camellias. I have a Magnolia tree that has been recovering for our harsh winter and so far, I've only found one bud on it. Usually it blooms around this time of the year, but my guess is it will bloom as soon as the rain starts since Magnolias hate rain. LOL
I LOVE the Sue Ross Block of the Month from Material Obsession. I'll really look forward to seeing how those turn out.
ReplyDeleteOh Lurline what a pain to lose all your fave blogs!!! Love that Annie pattern, she's such a cutie :o). Your camelias are lasting well, I just looked out the window at mine ... I should bring some in and put them in a vase :o).
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!!
Hugs,
Joy :o)
Your signature blocks are fabulous, I wouldn't use the fabrics but I envy those that do!! The BOM looks like serious stitching ~ you have a lot of that to do I think. Have a great weekend.

Hello Lurline
ReplyDeleteIm also doing the Sue Ross BOM in pretty contempory and my fabric is completely different love our quilts wont look the same.
Come on over and sign up on Sue Ross BOM on yahoo groups i started a group love to see you there. Adele :)
Those siggy blocks look great. My practice Sue Ross is nearly ready to sew onto the background-it is a challenging little thing and my whirligigs are going the wrong way-lucky it's the practice block!!
ReplyDeleteLove that Annie pattern-can I ask where you sourced it? Would love to get it.
Have a great weekend.
That BOM looks just wonderful.. think everyone is doing it soon...;o) And I have some patterns too from Bowls Annies... just long to get a start...they are so cute..:o)
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics for your siggy block...nice & cheerful just what a siggy quilt needs....
ReplyDeletehope to tackle my SR block this weekend...
Enjoy yours.
cheers
Can you believe I have one of those Annie patterns too. Your blocks are great and your flowers are gorgeous. The fabrics in your BOM look a bit different to the ones Ive seen. Are you doing the pretty version?
ReplyDeleteYour siggie blocks look very bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to have your siggy blocks in a quilt of mine. My 'to do' for next year now is to find a siggy block swap to join.
ReplyDeleteYour signature blocks look great and I love that Annie doll. Beautiful camellias

ReplyDeletefound it for you 5.99 a yard!
ah yes what a fabric line
makes me cringe every time I add a little piece to one of my quilts!
LOL
Love the Annie doll, Cool fabric choices too. lovely stuff.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm not participating in the siggie swap I love your fabrics. Anyone should be happy to have some brightness sprinkled in their quilt.
ReplyDeletelove your blocks and the doll your going to make, i too lost my blogs i was following, i think i finally caught up........
ReplyDeleteI love those bright fabrics for the siggie swap. You are right, they would look nice scattered in a quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe BOM does look a bit intimidating but it sure will be lovely when done.
Lurline, I love your signature blocks and that fabric!!! Will bring some life to that quilt to have such color! Good job! And I love that Annie pattern. She's adorable! That Whirley Gig BOM looks hard to me too but one step at a time, you'll probably have no trouble at all!!! Your camellias are gorgeous!!! You must be a wonderful gardener to grow such flowers!! Happy Day to you!
ReplyDeleteYour Siggy blocks look great!
ReplyDeleteThat BOM looks absolutely awesome, and so is that site it comes from! /very creative ideas happening over there! WOW! 8-)
Darling little Annie doll...
Happy stitchings!
I'm in the siggie swap, Lurline and I'd love some with those fabrics in my quilt. Carry on because yhey're fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove those regency Dandy fabrics! I will restart my MO BOM today...make sure you put the cogwheel template right side down on the wrong side of your fabric or they will spin in reverse!
ReplyDeleteLove the siggie blocks! I had no idea they made such awesome colors in 1810..nice. Can't wait to put one in my quilt!
ReplyDeletemelissa
Can't wait to see your little Annie! I think your siggie blocks look wonderful. ♥
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks, they are happy and bright. The doll is so cute, I'm looking forward to seeing yours. Your flowers are so beautiful, and camellias remind me of books I used to read about New Orleans, but I can't remember the name of the author. She used to be one of my favorites. AHA I just googled "New Orleans Camellia novelist" and she is Frances Parkinson Keyes. I think I would like to read her books again, I enjoyed them so much years ago. Sometimes I go off on tangents. Sorry Lurline, but I do recommend her books.
ReplyDeleteWhat is "chuffed"?
ReplyDeleteyou have a lot of projects on going :0)
that is how I am happiest too.
Happy sewing,
Kim
started on my BOM from MO too...........going with pretty...........
ReplyDeletethanks for the birthday wishes.........I had a wonderful day.......
The whirligig block looks familiar. I think I have a set of templates to make one like it. It'll be so pretty when done.
ReplyDeleteLove your siggie blocks.
This blog is amazing....
ReplyDeletethanks
They look beautiful...
