Applique block of the month-1

"If making 1 block every 1 or 2 weeks, maybe I can make a queen size quilt in a year ." I said to myself. 6" block, hand appliqued.  I used whatever pieces in my scrap box. It was originally like this. The value of  the yellow petal is too light, it jumps out, but that can be easily fixed with some stitches.                                         Backstitch swirls with dark green floss, voila, the world is saved Old fashion way to draw my pattern

Granny Square Vest

         After counting all the granny squares, 43, I knew I was nowhere near to a blanket, and I have some new ideas I really wanna try. Never be able to resist the temptation to start a new project until finishing the old one, that's my big problem, and that's how those UFOs are hidden in my closets. But not this time, this time I'm determined  to finish this project ,  in another way.                             40 squares are used, still 3 left, but only 3, that's a miner problem, right?

Scraps hearts

This whole week,  I dug through my scrap bin and sewed scraps together, felt like making my own fabric. I've made piles of pieces,  without making any decision how to use them, a reversed applique wall hanging? . maybe.  but I'm sure they'll come in handy one day, some day when I want to make something.
