Swooning WIP

I have been really wanting to Swoon! There are so many people making these for the last few years, and I think this block is amazing every time I see it. I know what I love. Like  my love for Dresden Plate. I haven't seen one yet that I don't like. This is true with the swoon too!

Swoon!

I got this pattern not to long ago. Then, I couldn't figure out what fabrics to use. I did this one as a mock up. I am thinking I don't like the grey. It needs something else. Maybe an aqua on white. I am not sure. Now, that I felt it out, and really have gotten a sense of it. Hubby loves it, and that's what counts!

 

 

With everyone posting all there wonderful new stash treats, I got bit by the bug!!! Ya'll broke me! I literally hung in there for weeks with not caving in to the delightful beauties that everyone is posting. Just browsing online. I am happy with them though, and they will all be cut  and quilted shortly. I wish that there were more hours in a day. I get to excited, and I can't sleep!

Plus, they were on sale. So, I didn't go to far off the reservation.  However, there are some beauties I have my eye on in the store that just arrived. Anyway, these were bought specifically for reinventing the  Farmer's Wife blocks into  gems. I was not really happy with how the stash look was going, and I am putting a lot of work into it. Happiness is key, even if that means changing my mind. Ha!

 

This is Joann's Mod Kid. I love teal! So, this was a no brainer! I guess me being a Gemini is showing. Because one part of me, loves modern and the other part love traditional. I try to make it work.

 

This should look familiar.. I have nothing against Quilter's Showcase. Sometimes, they have some really good finds, and I will bring them home. I love all fabrics!

 

I really love these sweet prints. I used the ones on the bottom for the super huge tote. I am in love! Plus, birds. I couldn't resist how cute they were. They just jumped in the basket! ;)

 

I finally got the Fish Bowl quilt on the frame. Now, this beauty can take shape. While I am working on my Traditional Farmer's wife blocks. I have the design wall filled with modern delight. I am still playing with the placement. I still have a couple more rings that I can make too.  My favorite part is the circle grouping in the top right corner. I don't want to repeat it. I really want it to be organic and random. This sounds sooo artistic, and I'm really not in the slightest. At least, not in my mind.  These rings are actually cut from the other part of the Dresden Plate template. That ruler is versatile. Any ideas on placement or anything? I would love to hear it.

 

Hopefully, I will be able to quilt up the Fish Bowl for Friday. Happy sewing! Blog at ya later.

 



I will be linking up later with Lee..maybe she is still stuck listening to Ace of Base. Hahaha!
