Last night was Friday Night Sew In (FNSI) and I was determined to make Block 2 the sewing machine block for the Fat Quarter Shop's Snapshots Quilt Along. Their instructions are so detailed and easy to follow and I had this cut and sewn together in no time!
I am using fabrics from my stash instead of the Day Sail line they are featuring. I am also making mini quilts of the blocks instead of the big quilt.
Here was Block 1 Let them Eat Cake. I am going to quilt the sewing machine block the same way. Here is a link for information on this quilt along
I am going to a baby shower for a work friend this afternoon. I am gifting my Little Letters Country Baby Quilt. When I asked her a couple of months ago how she was decorating the nursery, she showed me her Pinterest page and she was using navy and country colors. She is a first grade teacher, so I think the alphabet is perfect. It was pretty cool to already have a great quilt made in my stash and waiting!
I will be working on my frog block for the Elephant Parade and finishing the sewing machine mini quilt today.
Check out what everyone was up to for FNSI here
You had a very productive Friday night...and love your alphabet quilt! :)
ReplyDeleteI was tempted by the sewing machine block but just have too many things already needing attention. I would use stash too if I were to make it. The alphabet quilt will be a very good baby gift for a teacher. Will be a learning tool.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of fun pieces pictured here. Great job on the sewing machine. I have seen quite a few these floating around in blosgosphere the last couple of days. Eat Cake is so pretty. Love the alphabet quilt. Glad to hear it will have a happy home. Thanks for stopping by my blog to comment on the Posies.
ReplyDeleteThe alphabet quilt is a fabulous gift for a teacher and her baby.Lucky friend. our sewing machine block is cute. Are you making the whole Snapshots quilt?
ReplyDeleteLove your sewing machine block. That cake looks good enough to eat. Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have a quilt already made that is just perfect to gift! Love the sewing machine block. Have been seeing so many of these blocks and have been tempted to join, but I already have too many irons in the fire and am trying to just be content seeing everyone else's creations on this one.
ReplyDeleteThe sewing machine block is great! I saw one that someone else made and they were also making it into a mini. So nice to have a gift all ready made up!
ReplyDeleteYour sewing machine block is great...wonderful to have a quilt ready for the baby shower.
ReplyDeleteHallo, guten Morgen,
ReplyDeletedas sind ja tolle Blöcke die Du genäht hast.
Der Block mit der Nähmaschine war bestimmt fummelig zu nähen.
Der Block mit der Torte gefällt mir auch sehr.
So einen Block werde ich auch mal nähen.
Ich wünsche Dir einen schönen Sonntag.
Liebe Grüße
Käthe
That's a lucky baby to be receiving the little letters quilt. I have seen that birthday block before...so cute. As to the sewing machine, love it !:)
ReplyDeleteOh Yay, I am so glad I popped in this morning! I KNEW I had seen a cute sewing machine block somewhere...you know how that goes, and now you've shown me where! Love it. I also LOVE the alphabet quilt, and am gob-smacked (my English mum's slang coming out there) that you had one hanging around in your stash...of um, quilts? It's terrific, as in the colours, also for a first-grade teacher, and in the execution.
ReplyDeleteLove the sewing machine block and the cakes.... good idea to make them up as mini quilts. Your alphabet quilt is the perfect baby gift. It's gorgeous.... xxx
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE that sewing machine quilt. :)
