More Memories of Smudge Layouts
Yesterday afternoon and evening I spent a lot of time arranging and rearranging the Memories of Smudge blocks. Five more possible layouts were the result. I’m having a blast playing with the blocks on the design wall.

Stormy Seas Block Beginning & Decision Made
This was the total of my stitching yesterday. One centre and the four little square in a square corners for another Stormy Seas block. With any luck, I’ll get the diamonds into rectangles and the block put together tonight. Looking … Continue reading
