August is flying by so quickly, isn't it?!
Even though it has been very busy, I have been able to fit some fun blocks in this month.
First block: the August " And Sew On BoM"
Quiet Play's block of the month |

Isn't the pile of fabrics cute, on the floor? That REALLY IS LIKE MY SEWING ROOM!!

My eight blocks so far in And Sew On BoM |
Kristy, of Quiet Play, is a busy lady designing new blocks all the time. Her patterns for paper piecing are available at Craftsy . She has 105 patterns in Craftsy so far!
Check out her totally cute and fun knitting block. I was lucky to be a pattern tester for her. It will be in Craftsy soon....

Love how the yarn ball is designed with the piecing... it looks wound |
I added a sash for a border, and machine stitched some binding on to this cute block to finish it up |
And, the third block I worked on is a Pinwheel Star Block that I saw at The Crafty Quilter.Julie has an excellent tutorial on how to construct this block. I wanted to make it, because our August theme for Across The Pond Sew Along is pinwheels.

Wow your 'and sew on' blocks look amazing - love the gingham wallpaper too. You're right about the wall of wool design, it does look wound :)
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks! I wish my sewing room was as tidy as that too :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks love them all. Stopping by from PPP. Thanks for sharing Marie (mlismore@optusnet.com.au)
ReplyDeleteI love how your sewing cupboard turned out! Just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI hope your daughter loves her special knitting themed block - thank you for testing it for me. You did a fab job!
The sewing cupboard and room block looks great! Love all your And Sew on BoM blocks. Curious to see your final quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat pinwheel is gorgeous. Those colors are just like sherbert in a bowl!! So yummy!! Thanks for popping by the Block Party!!
ReplyDeletebtw love the craft/sewing blocks so clever, must learn paper piecing.

Wow you've really made them all! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all of your blocks! I'm jealous of you paper piecers, but maybe that will kick start me into trying it myself. Your pinwheel star block turned out beautifully and you used some of my favorite colors!
ReplyDeleteJulie @ The Crafty Quilter
Your paper pieced blocks are great! But I have to say my absolute favorite is the pin wheel block....I love everything about it!!
ReplyDeleteStrewth Susie - when do you sleep? Love your blocks. The sewing room cupboard is very clever - the finished quilt is going to be perfect in your sewing room, either on the wall or as a lap quilt for those cannot-sleep-middle-of-the-night-sew-ins.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric choices on the And Sew On block! Especially the tape measure fabric. I might have to keep an eye out for that wool block, that looks great!
