"Blessing Baskets"
Block #3
SAL at TQC
Block Size: 4 1/2" unfinished
Who's having fun?
Now I have three baskets on my hand.
I'm not really good at diagonal/triangles at all.
It's quite a challenge for me,
but still having a good time sewing ;)
BTW, It was hailing earlier today.
Look, look!!
The hails on my DH's palm.
It was so loud pounding against the roof
all over the house :O
So it turned out a perfect day
staying at home all day long-
- my kind of weekend :D
When it's that cold,
we want something keeping us warm, right?
I got a great idea for that!!
What's cooking in the pot?
It's "apple brown betty"!!
I quilted and bounded her today and
decide to proceed with staining process
to give her a vintage look :)))
We will see how she will turn out.

I love those little basket blocks. Your Christmas Garden looks fabulous. Do you get a lot of hail?
ReplyDeleteYou had a very productive weekend ;-D
ReplyDeleteJust love your little baskets and your Christmas garden is gorgeous !
Love the blocks and am looking forward to seeing how the stained Apple Brown Betty turns out. You've also made great progress on Christmas Garden. Are you finishing the part below the yellow border as charted? I've seen some variations on that part.
ReplyDeleteI think any hobby is more about enjoying it than being perfect at it! Cute little baskets too! And your stitching is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of hail! Beautiful baskets and I like your staining process. Your work is just gorgeous Merumo!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is lots of hail. I guess that was a good time to cook your little quilt. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI actually really like your fabric basket to which you pinned your little basket blocks. And of course, Christmas Garden looks amazing.
I'm not so brave, I didn't cook my quilt! I'll wait your result.
ReplyDeleteBaskets are very nice!
Hi Merumo, Your quilting is so pretty and so is your Christmas Garden, love them both.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas Garden is looking beautiful! You are reaching a point where it will soon be finished. Love your basket quilt squares and I'm looking forward to seeing your stained apple brown betty.
ReplyDeleteHi Merumo, your three baskets and your stitching are looking very nice and of course, I am curious and look forward to seeing your "apple brown betty" :-)
ReplyDeleteI am really impressed by the hails which were falling on your garden!!you must have been afraid !
Wishing you a nice week more peacefully :-)

What beautiful work you do. Your quilt blocks are just fine, and such pretty colors. Your Christmas Garden is exquisite. We have had such a mild winter that I would appreciate a little hail about now.
