Getting ready for Brigitte.

This week I will be returning to my class with Brigitte Giblin. Always inspiring, I am keen to see what she has been working on lately.  I had hoped to have my project from the last class finished, but....you know how it is! I have the top together but just need to work on the central applique & the paper pieced stars around the border. I "fiddled" with Brigitte's original concept & have worked with 1930's fabrics, and I am quite pleased with how it has developed. I hope Brigitte likes it!
 The blocks for the first three stitcheries with the Stitchalong group are assembled, traced & stitching commenced. My fabrics are a bit bright but I hope they will add some festive fun.

    Two very different looks with your projects. It must be fun swapping from one to the other. They both look great. Have fun at your next class.

    That quilt is SO pretty! I love it. I have really wanted to do some stitcheries this year. I have some designs and perle cottons but I stalled with marking. What do you use to mark your fabric?
