STARRY NIGHT AND PALM TREES


I am just too excited not to post.


I finished Joseph from "Starry Night" by Sew kind of wonderful.


Then I went on to the Palm Trees....oh my gosh, this block is so fun to make.  I see a whole quilt with palm trees in my future.


Island Batik Fabrics were used in the palm trees.  In the Joseph and Mary I used Java Batiks (Inchworm Fabrics) and Island Batik Fabrics.  I would say that I am mostly using Island Batik Fabrics.

This was my first full day this week to be able to sew, well, I should say afternoon.  I had some chores to do since I have spent most of my time outside helping my husband setting fence post for two days, by the time we got in I was too sore and tired to do much else.  These old bones aren't what they used to be.

I so love your quilting posts.

The quilt blocks are looking good. I love using batiks in projects too. I think they add so much depth and interest to the designs.

I am glad I am not having to help set fence posts. That is some hard work! Take care of yourself.

Setting fence posts ? I'd be sore too! Your blocks really are beautiful. And those palm trees do look like such fun. I'm visualizing palm trees with monkey or elephant blocks in a quilt.

Kudos to you for making those pillowcases. How generous! Meanwhile your Christmas piece is coming along beautifully and I too love those swirly palm trees. Happy Stitching from me!
