The last nine are stitched. Now that they’re finished I know it’s going to take a while to add the triangles, but not as long as it took to make the little 3″ 9-patch blocks. I put just a few … Continue reading

Possibilities
Aren’t these pretty? I love the look and feel of batiks and these are destined to, in most instances, become 6″ sunflowers as well as — well, who knows. The work project is finished – finally. Absolutely no stitching was … Continue reading
Five 9-Patches
Five little nine-patch blocks that finish at 3″. That’s all that I’ve managed to stitch the past two evenings. But at least now there are only 9 left to make and I feel relatively confident that those 9 will be … Continue reading
