Hello and welcome to day 10
of the Leafs Me Happy Blog Hop!
Today is my turn to show off my Fall Themed blocks!
I have called them "the Bers" :)
Shocker I know.......
I decided to use homespun fabrics.
I used Osnaburg for the centers and
embroidered September - December
on each square along with a few words
that represent what these months mean to me.
These blocks are already joined together
for a table topper and I'm working on the hand quilting.
I'm hoping to have it done in the next few days.
Thanks so much for stopping by today
and don't forget to hop on over to all the other blogs
that are displaying their blocks today as well!
Beautiful blocks Karen! Can't wait to see the finished runner! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely. Absolutely lovely. From the fabrics to the idea of the wording. I love it! An idea I am going to steal from you, well, if you don't mind of course!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely - I love your hand embroidered pieces in the middle - Decembers flannel sheets made me smile as mine are already on the bed! (its suddenly gone cold here in England!). Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. I love the embroidery on the blocks. Great work. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeletevery cut indeed. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to do the other months of the year too??
Thank you
Beautiful blocks and so unique. I like that! Very nice work.
ReplyDeleteI like the plaid homespun with the hand embroidery. I'm smiling at your choices for the special thoughts for each month. Flannel sheets are a special memory from childhood. I still like flannel sheets. They are nice and snuggly - just like a quilt. Plaid is very homey. Thank you for taking time in this busy world to participate in the blog top and share your creativity. Each blog inspires me and yours is certainly no exception. I'm sure it will inspire many, many others, too. Now I have another idea to add to my to-do list. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are sew wonderful made in homespun with the poetry in the middle. You are a creative woman and thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work.
