Yummy, another Hot Cross Bun

Hot Cross Bun

I wanted to play some more with my Singer 201K, so whipped up another Hot Cross Bun block, using the same fabrics I used for my Civil War block # 24 Ladies' Aid Album.  I'm making these Hot Cross Bun blocks to use up the scraps leftover from making the Civil War blocks..... you can see that I had to join two pieces for the top left red square, so I'm REALLY using up my scraps!!  

To see more of my Hot Cross Bun blocks, go to my Flickr site.

Okay, time for bed!

Happy Sewing!!

CIAO!

I received a lovely Siggy yesterday....    THANK YOU    Simonetta from Grado in Italy.   Simonetta is very new to the Siggy swap and has been learning patchwork for about a year.    Perhaps some of my Followers who are also in the Siggy swap would like to send Simonetta their Siggy block.  Her name is not on the list from Annelies as yet, but should be on the next one.

Today is much better weatherwise than the past week -  thank heavens!  but I have started the day with a headache so not a lot of sewing being accomplished.  However, I did FEEL like sewing, so whipped up another little Hot Cross Bun block.

My Keep Movin' quilt blocks have all been blanket stitched, now I have to put the ric rac road on the car and truck blocks and then I can start putting the whole top together!

Chubby Chicks blocks are now getting their Eye stitched, and then I will also be ready to piece the pinwheel blocks.  I can see a "finish" for 2011 on the horizon!

  

Happy Sewing!!

HOT CROSS BUNS ARE ADDICTIVE!

The Patchwork variety that is.......

I was keeping cool in the sewing room today as it was very hot and humid outside....  so I played around in my scrap box from the Civil War blocks and this little Hot Cross Bun is the result.

These little blocks are so addictive!  Fun to make, and quick too!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow!  the next block will be posted for the Civil War Quilt!

Hope you are having a happy sewing day!

HOT CROSS BUNS!  -  a pattern by Bonnie Hunter

No, not THOSE Hot Cross Buns (although they HAVE been available at the Supermarket since Boxing Day!!!!) .....  

As I have just little bits of leftover fabric after making each Civil War block, I was looking for a suitable pattern that would use up these scraps - and I found just what I wanted.  Thanks to Bonnie Hunter's "Addicted to Scraps" article in Quiltmaker magazine - Issue November/December '10.

This 5" finished block (5  1/2" pieced) uses  1  1/2" strips and squares.  It's a cute little block and might be useful in the border of the CW Quilt.

The Spike family are now regular visitors - I must do another video of baby - his call is hillarious!!

 A beautiful siggy arrived this week.... thank you Dorine!
