I added a few details ...  

I embroidered " Susie's Cookies  2014 " on the cookie jar  (by machine)-

I put two little red buttons on the drawers in Betty's kitchen-

I used aqua polka dotted fabric for the back, and used a decorative stitch to sew a label to the backing.

I like the aqua and white binding...

One of my favorite blocks... the teapot

I really love this bowl and spoon block, too!

I used 2 command hooks (3M) to hang the wallhanging on my sunroom wall....

It is hanging  beside last year's BoM,   And Sew On  -

September 's Sew Kitschy Block

September's Sew Kitschy Block

September brings us the last Block of the Month pattern for Sew Kitschy, the paper pieced BoM created by Kristy @ Quiet Play blog!   Where have the months gone??

The final block was enough to keep me busy for awhile... with lots of little pieces!

And here is my block of Betty, happy in her kitchen...

Betty in her kitchen                by Susie's Sunroom

While sewing her up, I  lots of time to  imagine why she was so happy:

1.  All of her  laundry and ironing was done... see her crisply pressed red polka dot apron she is modeling for us ?
2.  Her supper meal was  made and placed in the oven,  baking and bubbling ... and it is filling the house with delicious smells.
3.  Have you noticed Betty's view out the window?  (She has a big property, with lots of pine trees to look at.  )

4.  The kitchen floor is cleaned up and sparkling  , so she can go do some SEWING 
after posing for this "selfie".


And now, this is how all 9 blocks look together...

I think they would look nice as a mini quilt, to hang on a wall in my sunroom.

I'm off to my sewing room!

Block Talk in August

This week I have two Patchique' Blocks and two Sew Kitschy BoMs  to share with you.

Sewing blocks along with The Patchsmith

Patchique' Block #2 :  Shima ichimatsu (which means Stripe Check)

#2  Stripe Check   from the Book 

I followed the helpful tips that Amanda, The Patchsmith , has explained  in her blog post ,  since this block is made up of 36 two-inch squares.  It involves sewing the two fabrics in 2 inch strips together, and cutting that new strip crosswise.  I was happy that it all turned out, using my scant quarter inch.

Patchique' Block #106:    Ken giku  (which means Sword-petaled chrysanthemum)

Block #106   Sword-petaled chrysanthemum  from book

This block is basically a dresden plate, with 16 petals.  I wanted the flower to be brown, with green and red colors to be featured.  I started sewing, and held my breath when it came to adding the last petal into the circle... and the petals fit in beautifully.  Whew!
