It's only 16 degrees outside, so pretty easy to stay inside and sew. This week I had some snow fabric I couldn't resist using for my T. I found a little ukulele player for the letter U. Don't ya just love his little polka-dot shorts?!
Below is a peek at what my Little Letters are looking like on the design wal. Annddd...Oh My! I just noticed as I was creating this post,that I used the same little polka-dotted "ukulele" fabic for my M block (M is for Mice)as well!! I'm literally cracking up at myself! Oh well...just shows how much I like those little mice in their polka dotted shorts I geuss!
This continues to be a fun way to start my Sunday sewing. And now that I'm warmed up, I'm off to work on my ALYofF Nov. Goal. Hope your weekend has been great!
With smiles,
Val:)
Oh my! That is COLD! Your letters look great! I can imagine what cute little boy is going to get this....
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I'm actually going to put it in my hope chest for a grand-daughter!! LOL! (NOT that anyone is expecting...but we can always hope!)
DeleteI like how you are using the background prints to go with the letter, as well as adding that border around them to make them larger blocks. I hope to have this one ready for our guild charity quilt drive in April.
ReplyDeleteI made my T and U blocks today too! You definitely can hope for a grand daughter (my daughter is the only grandchild in my hubby's family--she is so spoiled I nicknamed her the "Golden Child") and save this sweet alphabet quilt for her. I am getting anxious to finish these up...I wonder if she is going to give directions for the non-alphabet blocks or if I will have to design some myself.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing. If they include Z in the last week...I'm counting that we have two weeks left! Good for the many of us that have kept up though:)
DeleteI turned N sideways and made my Z. I was surprised that we had a W since it was an upside down M...
DeleteIt looks wonderful! Snow fabric, love it! I wish she would just post the rest if the letters. I am not one know for waiting!!
ReplyDeleteyour alphabet is looking good fingers crossed there will be news about a granddaughter soon! Mine is 16. Wonder what is going in the empty spaces maybe a names, date of birth or similar
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be such a fun quilt! We woke up to 9 F yesterday morning. It was back into the 50s today, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you are using prints as backgrounds. Very original!
