I came across a free block of the month over at Shabby Fabrics called Country Cottages. Just what I love, a block that has embroidery & applique. If you’re new to applique she even has a tutorial available. Here’s my version..
The only thing I changed was leaving off the snowflakes because it competed with my background. I think it turned out a bit more swiss cottage than country, but that’s ok. That’s what’s so great about these free BOM’s with their Flickr groups. Everyone gets to post their own interpretation and we can all be inspired by each others work.
I really like her work and patterns so I’m sure this is going to be fun project for the year. Head on over and check it out. Be sure to let me know if you’re going to participate so I can look for your pic on Flickr:)
I just had to share these 4 new patterns we have in the shop, found here. It’s a seasonal series from Shabby Fabrics.
Winter…. Cute rick rack holly garland, embellished Christmas tree with presents, and a picket fence.
Spring… 3-D pinwheels in the sky, yo-yo flowers, bright and cheery!
Summer…Stars coming from the chimney, a cute scallop border, a flag and a kite in the sky. A patriotic home.
Fall…Giant sunflower, leaves falling, smoke in the chimney, pumkins on the porch, and a crow on the fence. Can you feel the chill in the air?
Of course these arrived just after I broke my arm, so naturally it’s all I think about making. These would fit perfectly on my porch. Definitely on my to-do’s!
Speaking of my arm, I go in Tuesday to see if my cast comes off. Keep your fingers crossed!
