I love to sew, mainly quilts and bags. I am 66, married to Fred and have one son, Matthew, who is 27. I enjoy embroidery and applique and prefer to machine piece and quilt my projects. I love my vintage Singer sewing machines especially my Featherweight 222K. I’m enjoying treadling on my 201K Singer and I collect Miniature Sewing Machines and currently have three Essex , one Singer 20, one Singer 40, two Vulcan Miniatures and my latest, a Grain. My love of sewing I believe comes from my Grandmother - I still have the drawings she made for me to embroider on tea towels many many years ago!

... AND HERE'S ANOTHER ONE!

RICHMOND, second version
this time with the correct value in
the triangles.
The photo is a little dark, but the flash made everything look way too pink!

I think I like the layout of the first block better than this one!

Spent the afternoon on this and really enjoyed the process.  I wouldn't mind having a go at a whole quilt with this block, but perhaps at the 12" finished size!

Tomorrow I plan to get back onto something a little brighter - might get the Keep Movin' blocks out and get them finished.  Seems like ages since I touched them!

Happy Sewing!!

    I agree - I like the layout on the first block better, too. Beautiful work on both of them.
