Yesturday was so nice, spending time with our sewing group. Everyone working on their own thing. Chatting away and making progress. It is always nice getting together.
I was working on a few different things. First I finished the binding on the penguin snack mat and I've already used it too....lol. I wouldn't have thought to make one, but as I had the pieces and the pattern, I thought, why not... It's useful, as my sewing table is wood, so the mat will protect it if I have a snack and a drink.
Then lastly, I started working on this next block, which is the one I am doing for the required November block. In the picture the top half is the paper pattern, with the leaves that I have to prep, to appliqué onto the white background fabric, which is the bottom half of the picture. Before I started this block today, I already had the heart shaped vine sewn to the background.
Today I prepped the berries and pinned them to the background, using the Perfect Circles that makes...."perfect" circles....lol. They couldn't have chosen a better name for the product.....you could say it is perfect!! LOL....ok, you probably saw that one coming, but I couldn't resist....lol.
I also prepared the first two leaves and appliquéd them onto the back ground and then added the first berry at the base of the two leaves. I am so happy seeing this come together! With each piece that I add, I like it even more. I am going to wait to attach the rest of the berries, until I start adding in the leaves. It helps me get them placed better and more evenly spread out.
As this is my November block, I have one more week to get this one done. Wish me luck!
Take care everyone.
