Time In a Bottle Blog Hop
When Carol at Just Let Me Quilt posted for sign up’s I chose to join because I wanted a reason to make these hourglass blocks. I haven’t made to many and I’ve had some trouble with them in the past. So I decided to give them another try.
Making the blocks, I paper pieced them hoping to give myself a chance to be more on point with the blocks. It did help a lot.

Welcome to my day of the Tickled Pink Blog Hop hosted my Carla of Creatin in the Sticks. So glad you stopped by today.
I’ve been on a wool applique stitching thing since I moved to Oklahoma. The last hop I worked on my wooly blocks. With this hop the kit Spring Vintage Sewing Machine by Buttermilk Basin was the perfect pink project for me.
I was able to get all the pieces cut and appliqued to my background. I choose a off white flannel for the background instead of the called for grey. I love it, I think it makes the colors pop. I also changed out the pink wool for a much brighter pink.

Joan of MooseStash Quilting, challenge of making something inspired by polar bears, blue, or cold got me to thinking about my Wooly Adventure blocks. They needed to be moved from the WIP’s pile to the working pile. This hop was a good time to do just that.
These wooly blocks are from 2016. So that’s like 6 years ago. Long time. Only two of the blocks are still available from the research I did. Most of the blocks were 8″ in size but a few were 10″. The backgrounds that came with the kits varied and didn’t work well together. Because I wanted to put them in a quilt, that was a problem for me. So I decided to just them on coordinating flannel backgrounds and use a cream flannel to border the 8″ squares to sew up to the 10″ blocks.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I’m so happy to participate in this weeks hop.
When planning for the hop I had several different ideas. First the watercolor dream I have of one day starting my painting again. But, this is a sewing group and I didn’t think anyone would have been interested in that.
Then there was the Little Red Riding Hood cross stitch project I could do. Problem is I’m not a fast stitcher. I wouldn’t have been anywhere close to being finished. That brings to mind another dream. Starting projects I can finish. Seriously, who am I kidding? Being a finisher is a Fairy Tale.
So I decided I would use my embroidery machine to start a project that would give me finished blocks to show and I could just decide how to finish it later.
