Sewing Saturday (on Sunday) ~ 3/20/2022

I'm going to be featuring my sewing, crocheting and crafting projects on Saturdays.  Some weeks this will include a finished project, a FNSI or FNWF or just a WIP.

~~~~~~~~

I'm going to try to sew at least one block a week in the Pat Sloan sew-along called "Sweet Dreams". I'm using the fabrics below:

The 10th Block  of the Sweet Dreams Sew Along is actually a border called:  Pastries.

The week before I accidentally misunderstood and thought we were to put the outside borders on.  The inside dark gray border was fine but the outer light border was not.  Needless to say, I had a date with my seem ripper.

The border that was supposed to be put on was actually a pieced flying geese border.  I debated leaving the light gray and just moving on but I just couldn't!

I am so happy with how it turned out and so glad I took the time to rip off the light gray border and replace it with what the pattern intended.

My favorite pastry is a Cinnamon Roll with Peanut Butter Icing!  Yummm...

Here is my version of the 7th Sweet Dreams Block:  Pie Pie Pie!

It was fairly easy to plan out the colors and piece it together.

The center of the quilt is going to be the first 9 (9.5 inch) squares.  I can't wait to sew them together to see how they look!

My favorite pie is probably PECAN Pie :)  So good!

Sewing Saturday ~ 1/29/2022 ~ Brownie Love

I'm going to be featuring my sewing, crocheting and crafting projects on Saturdays.  Some weeks this will include a finished project, a FNSI or FNWF or just a WIP.

~~~~~~~~

I decided that I am going to go ahead and join in the Pat Sloan sew-along called "Sweet Dreams".  I picked the following fabrics to use back before Christmas when I got the fabric for 50% off!  whoohooo!

The first block is called "Brownie Love".  Each block name will be featuring something sweet but the block pattern will NOT be literal.  It took me a while to decide my fabric placement.

After finally deciding what fabric I wanted to use in this block and where, it was easy-peasy to sew up.  Pat has such great patterns and directions!

And here is the final block.  I still have 3 blocks to piece in order to catch-up by Wednesday when the new block releases, but I'm in no rush.  One at a time :)
