Happy Wednesday! These are the 36 blocks needed for Garnets and Lilies by Kim Diehl. I will be calling my project Katniss. I am not at a stop, but the next part involves making bias stems. The instructions call for a 3/8" bias bar, which I don't have right now.
I did order them with delivery expected Monday. I will be moving on to the next steps in the meantime. Each four blocks get sewn together and then there is the inner border pieces to stitch. Lots of preping involved in the 36 leaves as well. I will be busy until they arrive. The bias bars make easy the stems of the applique portions.
Sorry for the quality of this photo. The "X" in the center of the block is what I will be using the tool for. There are many ways to accomplish this task, but the fabric is a bit heavy for me to consider other bias tape tools I already have in my tool box and simply making them by hand.
Panda was finished in my Children's Zoo cross stitch project. Zebra is quite far along too. I was surprised the zebra called for this color floss, but animals in this zoo aren't always in line with the real McCoy! My Children's Zoo stitching is nearly done. Next nighttime project will be Autumn Love's applique parts.
Today is a DH family dinner at King's Fish House in Carlsbad. We all get together once a year around this time when his nephew comes to town. We will be missing one of DH's brother and his better half this time around due to some surgery and grandchild sitting. We are looking forward to being around family today.
Enjoy your Wednesday =^.^=
