With winter upon us I find it increasingly difficult to do anything other than sitting by the fire. So any quilting etc. now is done on Saturdays only. I also find it difficult being cooped up in my office alone the whole day and then spending the evenings alone in my needlework room as well. My husband do visit me during the day but I am definitely having a bout of cabin fever.
With that being said, I did embroider another 3 blocks of the heart quilt as well as adding sasching to the completed blocks so I can start quilting them. I am however struggling with puckers. Almost all of the blocks pucker, bit I will try my best to eliminate them with the quilting which I decided will only be meandering between the hearts.

| This block contains one of Molly Mine's Crazy Hearts |
These blocks I did not crazy quilt as I wanted to show of the beautiful Langa Lapu fabric prints which doesn't show up as well on the small crazy quilt pieces. I used Molly Mines heart outline and omitted all the crazy patchwork. By sizing them smaller, I added the smaller plain hearts. All done with the help of Embird Basic Embroidery Software.
Three quarters of the blocks is done with only 4 more blocks to go.
