Blogger's BOM and lots more.

 Here are my 2 blocks for January's Blogger's Block of the Month.

 January's blocks were designed by John Adams of Quilt Dad blog. John's great instructions make this block quick and easy to make.

In my last post I showed some fabric designed by Petra Prins. On the left in the photo below you can see the other pieces I bought from the Josephine range. 

The fabrics on the right are Andover fabrics and are from the Winterthur John Hewson collection.
I plan to combine all those fabrics (and a few more) and make a version of the quilt below. I will use one of the Winterthur panels for the centre.

The first time I saw any Dancing Dollies was on Lurline's blog. Look at Lurline's blog header. I loved the look of those dollies, but at that time I had no idea about the Dancing Dollies quilt. (Lurline's blog was the very first blog I ever saw)
It will be a while before I start this quilt......there are one or two more I already have on the go. :)

Lots of cutting has been happening for Trailing Vines.

Strips of fabric..

...sewn together ready to cut out the pieced leaves.

So far I have only 2 branches of freezer paper leaf templates prepared. Lots more cutting to go!!

I finished the embroidery on the Friends of Baltimore block.

I added beads to some of the flowers on my first block. I still haven't decided whether to add them this time,so I am calling this one finished....for the moment!!

My thoughts are with a couple of friends who are battling severe illness.
