Beginner's Quilt Along

Hello there!!

I just  finished sewing the third block of the Beginner's Quilt Along that I participated at the Quilting Gallery. This block is called  Time for Ice Cream, commonly known as Shoo Fly.

 I also share the  first and the second block which were finished some time ago.  The first block is the nine patch namely Play a game of Hopscotch.

 

 and the second  block called Peek Over the Fence.
 

For this Quilt Along I am using the Flora fabric from Lauren +Jessie Jung for Moda which I bought from Sew Lux Fabric & Gift shop.  The shop is currently having a weekly sale for print charm packs for $7.75,valid through 6/23/12.  

 
Here are all the three finished blocks in a row...

Happy Quilting!!

Garden Steps: Block #07 and #08

Hi Everyone!!

I am so happy today to accomplished my mission to finished both Garden Steps blocks during the week end.
 This is how my block #07 looks like.

I used back stitch for the flowers and  stem stitch for the leaves outlines.  The center of the flowers and the leaves, I used satin stitch.

and this is the Garden Steps block #08 looks like. I used a lot of back stitch for this block especially for the bird house.

 
 For the butterfly I used satin stitch for the center and back stitch for the outline. The center of the flowers and the bird's eye I used french knot stitch.

Happy Stitching!!
