A bit of Sewing

I have been trying to shoehorn a bit of sewing in among my other chores this month but don't have a lot to show for it!

My friend Patty's qal (Elm Street Quilts Repeat QAL) has been going well and I was itching to stitch some letters...I paper pieced these cute lil guys in about an hour including time to choose fabrics and I am now halfway to "quilt"...

I am planning a mini quilt with just that word and my fave of all - a churndash block.  I am using a favorite Sweetwater texty print for the background and a fun gold I used in my son's Doctor Who quilt..oh such memories!!!   I am liking the look so far.  You can use the link above or the one on my sidebar to visit Patty and join in on the fun :)

In other qal news, I couldn't resist joining in on Primitive Gathering's newest Summer Block of the Week wool on flannel quilt and this was the first week's assignment...cute, cute!!
 Lots of little extra hand-embroidered touches...
 This is week 2...
 
I deviated a bit from the pattern on this one...
 This is the freebie from week one, such a cute little 6 inch block!!
I believe you can still get in on this one here if you want to.

I love the fabrics you are using for your letter blocks. Your other blocks look terrific too.

Love that delicious yellow fabric you are using for the letters, and the background fabric is absolutely perfect!!! I always swoon over your wool appliqué. You know I specially love the music notes block. Good to see you creating again :)
