These blocks are going to be a nice project to work on over the summer — a little similar to the ABC blocks in that they are very detailed and stitched with one color. Because I have two months off each summer, I try to work on Christmas presents for my family, but I never get everything done. Evenings are always reserved for hand stitching, cutting quilt pieces, taking old quilt tops apart — anything that can be done in a chair.
It’s sunny and warm today, and the trilliums by our old stump are looking particularly nice.
Oh my lord. I just love trilliums! Of course they do not grow here. I sometimes found them when we lived in the mid-south, but never often enough for me to feel they were ho-hum.
Also, I love the Red Alice blocks. They sort of sparkle done that way.
Beautiful Trilliums! I’ve never seen them in person.
Those Alice blocks are going to be wonderful done up in redwork style. 🙂
Do you know already the Christmas presents you’re making? I never find Christmas presents to make until its too late to get them all done. How many Alice blocks are there?
I love your little greenery garden! I am also in awe of the advance planning for xmas in July!
YEA! I REALLY enjoyed your Alphabet quilt last summer – it will be so fun to see these great Alice in Wonderland illustrations in red work! Although I have never read it, I have always liked the Mad Hatter and LOVED the mouse tail page. I seem to recall making Mom skip to that page over and over – maybe that’s why we never got very far. 🙂
Beautiful flowers, Martha! I wish I had even ONE spot in my backyard which was that lush! Love those fern leaves too!
