June Dear Daughter Blocks
Photocopied the patterns onto heavy freezer paper
ironed them onto the reproduction fabrics
sprayed Best Press on
before pressing the seam allowance
to the back
Now the hand stitching fun begins.
Blessings,
Chris
The block looks interesting...looking forward to seeing a finished block photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you. This is the start to 4 different blocks. I will choose some broderie perse bits to applique down after I get these stitched on.
Deletelooks like you are all ready for some hand stitching!
ReplyDeleteI am. After the heart a day disciple, I think I can do almost anything 20 minuted a day.
DeleteWhat a pretty block that is going to be. I like the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have a WHOLE BIN filled with reproduction pre civil war fabrics with lots of small broderie perse options.
DeleteI downloaded these the other day but have not started.. have fun with yours :)
ReplyDeleteI have these four half done already. I am enjoying this since most of them so far are quite simple.
DeleteHi Chris,
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a lovely quilt. Can you recommend a blog that has a good hand piecing tutorial. I really want to have a go. Is there a FB group too? Can wait to see what you do. Regards Mandy xx

I hope this is helpful.
Chris, are you enjoying these blocks? I've downloaded the patterns and am so tempted to start. Have a couple things I want out of the way first.
ReplyDeleteYeh!! This message showed up in my email account!!!!
DeleteYes I am really enjoying these blocks. They are supper simple in my opinion and I do like all the donuts. They are so easy to prep the way I am doing them. There are some really cool modern versions in the facebook group you may want to check out for inspiration.
