My squirrel moment was seeing a post from Karen of KaHolly Quilts, she was testing a block drafted by Pretti of Sew Pretti Quilts, so I went to have a look at Pretti's blog and then just had to make an International Sisters block or two.
The first three blocks are made with fabric from Australia, Japan and Hawaii.
This is a Bali batik sister
Then two with New Zealand fabric ( my cutting skills need some work for these)
then two from New Zealand, and two from Alaska
and finally one Australian and three from New Zealand
these blocks are very addictive!
If you go over to Sharons blog you can see some other squirrel moments.
Happy stitching.
Lovely girls. I'm actually tempted to make some.
ReplyDeleteI'm sending some Australian fabric to Holly as she hasn't any yet.
Thanks for showing me some different sites to visit.
Your little girl blocks are fantastic, it looks so simple but I can imagine how hard it is to get the pieces looking like that! Have a great week and a good July, hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeletehaha I was going to suggest you link up to Sandra's Dreami link up and I see you have!!! Your blocks are gorgeous and do you know how hard it's been sitting on my hands and not making any myself!!! (I see Preeti is doing them for the RSC, now that's an idea...)
ReplyDeleteThese are SO cool. I can see the "sisters" and it is wonderful how the fabrics represent the culture of the country. It is easy to understand why this was appealing to you!
ReplyDeleteThey look so good. I can see why they are so addictive.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gathering of international women! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI like that your blocks are made with fabrics from around the world, since the pattern title is International Sisters. =) BTW, I'm catching up, but don't feel you need to answer all my comments! You have better things to do. LOL
