Nothing but blocks

I love making all of these blocks for all the quilting bees and swaps that I have gotten myself into. It is great to work with different fabrics and to think of new ways to express myself through sewing.

Saranya, from the Sew Connected 3, sent me gorgeous fabrics that are my favorite color combo - pink and green! I know Saranya lives in Thailand and I wanted to focus my blocks on that, especially since my husband lived in Thailand for awhile and loved the people. Elephants are Thailand's animal and I love them, so that was my inspiration.

I finally used my elephant fabric from Alexander Henry. It is one of my favorite prints and thought it was perfect for this block.



Then I embroidered elephants because, as you all know, I love to embroider. This block was inspired by this block.



Ric-rac framed the elephants nicely, I thought.





Another Sew Connected 3 block. Who would have thought that this block would be one of my favorites and that I REALLY do not want to part with it?!?!? I hope Donna aka Rocklilly likes it.



Remember this post? I made my block for Chen using the Brooke sheeting fabric she sent me for our swap. The owls are just soooooo cute.



These are my best corners yet!!! I don't know how I got the 4 corners of the squares to all line up. Whoo Hoo!

Stay tuned because soon I will be having a fabric Giveaway!!!!!!! (hint: there will be Lush involved)

Sunday Stash : Elephants Edition

I think I have mentioned a billion times already that Alexander Henry is one of my favorites. I could not pass up these entertaining elephants & pretty polka dots.

(I apologize for not ironing the fabrics, I just grabbed them from my stash bin and took pics.)

I bought over a yard of each. I really can not pass up a good polka dot.
