It's the first of the month again: Fresh Sewing Day and Small Blog meet. I managed to achieve precious little this month. I made this block for Amy Badskirt - my final block in the Ringo Pie bee I found so difficult. She asked for films, cameras, photos and I made this block since Amy so often takes photos of fabrics and Liberty fabrics are the perfect scale for this. Thank you Katy for sharing your stash with me so generously.
I made a patriotic pillow with Etchings wovens and may well make more since it is my favourite thing I've ever made. It's what quilting is all about to me - faded fabrics which look as though they've been in the family for years and designs harking back to a long tradition of American quilting history.
And I've got a couple of Moda Bake Shop projects on the go using Malka's A Stitch in Color new line for Moda which I will show you as soon as they're finished and the tutorials go up on the MBS site.
So what did you make this month? Link up at the bottom of this post to show me what you've been working on. If you do link up, how about visiting at least four of the other blogs who link up - two above you and two below you - and stopping to leave a comment as well as visiting back anyone who visits you. As always here's the button to grab:
And link up in the second linky if you are a blog with fewer than 50 followers and would like to get to know a few more people out there in blogland. Write a post about this feature, add the button and then link up.
I pieced my Dead Simple Quilt Palette top which will be quilted once I get my hands on some batting.

Lynne I love your quilt top its so lovely,the colours are great!
ReplyDeleteOh some new projects for Moda - can't wait to see them and I know someone at home who will love them too ;o) - who's a clever girl then
ReplyDeleteI simply love that Etchings fabric range - I see some lovely patterns using Jennys shaped piecing with this and bold solids
Can't wait to see your MBS projects and I love your flag cushion and film block more every time I see them (which is hard because I thought they were brilliant on first sight!) - have a good November!
ReplyDeleteLove your patriotic cushion and DS quilt top. Gorgeous colour palette! Will be back in an hour to blog hop but have to fit in (only thing I can fit in) a quick visit to the gym!
ReplyDeleteAll those projects are divine. Love the new A Stitch in Colour. Waiting breathlessly to see what you have made from this collection.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a busy month, but a very colourful one! Look forward to seeing your MBS makes :)
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt top! It's great when you put the months work together it looks like such a cohesive collection ;)
ReplyDeleteLove that cushion. And that film block is just too cool for quilting school!
ReplyDeleteLovely work as usual. I especially love that film block, I wonder if you might make a pattern or tutorial - it too would make a lovely pillow for the TV/movie/family room? Thanks for setting up the monthly link.
ReplyDeletewow - your filmstrip block is amazing - and your pillow - really, really cool! You have such a great fabric sense.
ReplyDeleteCan`t wait to see your new project and all the projects you have done are absolutely wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in your Dead Simple quilt! :)
ReplyDeleteHow did you manage to get some of Malka's new fabric??? I can't wait till it gets to the UK!!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous that you have Malka's new fabric. I have been drooling over that line for months now. I can hardly wait for it to come out.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that you have had a very productive and busy month! I love the 'film strip' at the top - so clever.

ReplyDeleteLynne you may feel like you did little - but I love all your October pieces. Especially that pillow. To die for! Now it is November and I feel the holiday crush. You?
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this Lynne. I look forward to the first of the month to see what you created, but also to reflect on what I created. And, I really enjoy that pillow. It is so classic yet also so modern.
ReplyDeleteOh I absolutely love that film block!

ReplyDeleteThank you for posting the small blog meet, that's so nice of you to help out small & beginning bloggers. I am in love with your patriotic pillow. Are you planning a tutorial for this one? I was just told I am a no reply blogger, hopefully I can figure out how to change this. Thanks again & I love your blog!! January T
ReplyDeleteYour film block is amazing!!! Thanks for hosting. I'm not eligible to join in with the Small Blog Meet this month, as last month's meet took me over 50. Thanks. The people that frequent your blog are very friendly and welcoming.
