For all that I feel I have been busy, I don't have a lot to show.
I finished off the bee blocks for this month. We have two leaders this month, so I made four instead of two. The first were x & + blocks. I love how these two turned out, and kind of want to make a quilt of these blocks for myself. Maybe someday? Or perhaps I'll start cutting pieces from each fabric I cut for something else to make blocks gradually?
I couldn't bring myself to toss the extra scraps from the above blocks so I made HSTs and put them together to make a mug rug. Not sure what to do with them. I used a new toy, my bloc-lox ruler, to trim them up. I highly recommend it as a ruler, it's great!
The other bee blocks were Christmas themed, so I used my few Christmas fabrics paired with red and green fabrics.
I also made a new shirt for myself! This is a Neptune Tee from See Kate Sew. It's a basic tee that you can put those cute triangle cut-outs into. I love the sleeves, they're the perfect length!
The fabric is from Girl Charlee, and I am super pumped at how I managed to match the stripes along the side.
It can be left plain, without the triangles.
The cut-outs can also be inset with a contrasting fabric. I didn't really think that anything would match this fabric well so I left it empty.
I love this shirt! It's so comfy and was pretty easy to make. And, if you ever wanted to see a lot of me, here you are!
Gratuitous baby photo!!
I will be linking up to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.
Looks quite productive to me:-) I'm in awe of your t-shirt. I am way too cowardly to try anything stretchy and yours looks brilliant - so professional!
ReplyDeleteLove those X and + blocks - great colours! Your t-shirt is nice too - I also go crazy trying to line up prints along the seams. And that baby is just adorable! Love the dimples!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shirt! You did a lovely job Kate. And yes please to more x and plus blocks. I love them too
