Sew Sweet Simplicity Block 4 and Bonus Block 2 & Give Away

I can hardly believe the Sew Along is almost over!!!



My quilting is still relevant.... here in Canada we are still covered in snow. More snow than we had Christmas day, lol.


Block 4



Bonus Block 2


Sneak Peak: on how my blocks came together........




For those of you who were unable to sew along with us on January 10th, here's what I made (hopefully I will have it quilted and bound before the end of the sew along, so I can share)

I upsized the block again to 32" square and added the flower applique.




I love how this turned out!! The fabric is Shapes of Spring by Eloise Renouf for Cloud9 Fabrics. Just love this line!!


And now for the Give Away....

That wool runner is so cute....


The Give Away

Make sure you go to Jacquelynne's Blog because she has a special give away over there too.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Don't forget to check out what everyone else has done with their blocks...it will increase your chances of winning the pattern bundle too.

    Your blocks are quite lovely, Sandy! I haven't started any of these yet and may just leave them for a summer project at the cabin. We, too, have lots more snow than we did at Christmas. :)

    Wow, your work is so inspiring. Especially since I have not even finished my first quilt yet! I have to admit that I would love to win such a lovely prize, the timing is serendipitous, my wedding anniversary is on February 2nd. Thank you for this opportunity. 😊. I am not sure how other people are supplying you their email addresses so this will have to do for me: gilshallos at outlook.com.
