Summer Star SAL

Block Eight

hosted by Sheryl @ TQC

Block size: 4 1/2" unfinished

And of course the latest block is here now :)

I'm looking forward to see

how Sheryl will put them altogether

next week or so?

And speaking of sewing,

here is my latest fall inspired project.

"Little Red"

from "Schnibbles Times Two"

by Carrie Nelson @Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.

Block Size: 4 7/8" unfinished

Quilt Size" 30" x 38"

As seeing the store displays

turned into the fall colors,

I got itch for fall project :D

I purchased this quilt kit

a couple of years ago at my LQS

as seeing one at shop display

which was made by Cheryl

who hosts SSQSG 

(aka Small Scale Quilt Study Group).

You can see hers somewhere

 in the middle of this post.

I substituted a lot of mediums 

with lights trying to get a good contrast,

but as seeing hers again in the picture,

I really like hers better :(

I need more oranges and darks

to get a warm and rich look.

A good news is though,

as the border fabric has a lot of

oranges, so let's hope it will help

to pick up some more in each block.

Another reason I got started

on this quilt is...

Back in past June,

I joined a local wool penny rug group

hosted by our local designer

Ginger Sanchez.

We meet monthly at Ginger's place

and stitch her penny rug project.

(I'm afraid I can't post any picture of that

yet as all she shares with us are

her pre-published patterns.)

It's really a small group -

- Ginger and 7 members or so.

And guess who else is a member of

this fun group? (You can't imagine

how crazy and fun this group is!!

We have a blast on every meeting!)

Carrie from Miss Rosie's!

I haven't seen her since

I was a member of Miss Rosie's club

at my LQS a couple of years ago,

and then all of the sudden, 

I got this nice surprise to see her again :)

That clicked my memory

to remember what I have in my stash

and found this kit.

I'll still have to make 8 more blocks

and rearrange them as I go to get

the look I want eventually.

Happy stitching everyone!!
