Disappearing Pinwheel
The second project our Rotary Cutters quilt group did for the year, was the Disappearing Pinwheel. Another very innovative way of starting off with just two squares of light and dark, constructing half square triangles and stitching them together to form a 12" pinwheel.
or this one, the look I went for.
It is created with 4 blocks laid out in the order as shown below which really had me utterly confused as I swopped the dark and light fabrics. And I also wanted the print of the darker fabric to all go in the same direction in each quarter, which my son (not so jokingly) refers to as his mother's OCD.

Shopping at Fabric8
This month's shopping at Fabric8 included among others more wool for Cheyenne's blanket as well as some cute charms and a pinking scissor. Do scroll down for a picture of the blanket.
The package was as per usual wrapped in gift paper
It is like unwrapping a present within a present and is just so welcoming.
Then another packet inside with all my little purchases.

New designs added to store
Block 5 was added to the Shades of Red quilt.
This block was one of the reasons the designing of this quilt came to a halt as I just could not decide what to substitute the original design with as I did not particularly like the original version which is known as Red Delicious by Esther Aliu. Then this came to mind and Voila!
Block 2 of the Bohemian Quilt was finally ready after much editing. Still learning Embroidery Office but getting there step by step. This block features a monochromatic design.

Shopping at Fabric8
The package was wrapped as usual with Fabric8's lovely personal touch. |
The little thank you package contains notions of all sorts. The saying "Just let me finish this row" had me smiling as it is so true between fellow knitters. |
The notions I bought included anti-slip fabric for socks, key rings, a glue pen and snaps with the plier. |

When mistakes happens...
Friend Magda had a bad embroidery day or three with a few spit cloths ruined, but with adding this cute little elephant from Appliquetion Station I was able to salvage them.
