Putting these blocks together made up a nice top.
There were eight to start with. I needed to make another block to make this figuration work. Well I didn't know what the original pattern was. And I only had a smidgen of fabric left. But I managed to make a block out of the left over fabric. Can you tell which is the one I made from the scraps?
The January Sew Sampler was not the usual fare.
The Sons of Scandal is a series by Becky Wade. Uneasy Street is the third and final book in the series.
This is Max Cirillo's story. He and Sloane Madison meet in college and go on to start a business together. But when Sloane disappears from an important meeting, Max takes it on himself to remover her from the company. Going from best friends/co-workers to enemies.
The story is about betrayal, forgiveness, loyalty and finding love. The characters host so many deep feelings, deep hurts, and distrust. But I loved how Max finds himself and patiently tries to woo Sloane back. It's a great story with Becky Wade's signature wit and humor. Ivy was a breath of fresh air, as the 15 year old niece of Sloane spending the summer with Aunt Sloane while her parents traveled. The surprise that she uncovers adds a dimension of interest and complexity. Ms Wade has a way of bringing her characters to life, flaws and all. Good clean contemporary romance. A novella with a follow up on Max, Sloane and Fiona would be a great addition to the series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advanced e-copy of this book. All views expressed are my honest opinion.
Recently I came across a cute Heart Pocket tutorial by Pillar Box Blue.
So I decided to give it a try.
This is my first one. It was a bit of a challenge, but I think if I enlarge the pattern a bit, and practice a little more, it will get easier. Plus I did not have any denim to make my first one. I think it would look cuter in denim.
It has been so cold here in Florida. Down to the 30's. With no real break for a couple of warmer days.
So I have been digging into my stash and ufo's and found these blocks.
Can't really remember what pattern they were from. Or even what fabric line. But I figured I might as well try to make something with them.
