April's X Plus Block

April you did amazing on your new collection Best Day Ever Fabric line for Moda! Congrats and thanks for letting us all enjoy playing with it. I so love this block and now I'm addicted. It comes together so quickly. I just love the color pop on this fun block!

What I love more is I got to play with this block on my new cutting board, and in my new design studio! Great choice in choosing this pattern.

XOXO,

Shari

for Calli and Sherri.

Hi Girls!  Today I am showing my two finishes.  Calli's pickle dish block (melon) and one of Sherri's scrappy trip around the world block (I made two but thought it would  be fun to save the other as a surprise - wink!)

I have to admit, I was afraid of the pickle dish pattern.  I was so worried that I might mess it up, since I have never sewn an arch before.  I read the instructions super carefully (more than once) and when it came time to sew, I used plenty of pins, then sewed at the speed of a turtle.  I loved every bit of it!  So much so, I nearly did a happy dance when I finished.  (wink)
Thank you so much Calli for stretching my skills and allowing me to sew something new!  I am so thankful for the lessons learned.

Calli's Pickledish Arcs

 Has it really been a year 

since we first started 

Bee's Knees?

My how time has flown!

This is our last block scheduled together.

I just finished Calli's arcs

for her Pickledish block.

 They were easy to do and a lot of fun to make.

The paper piecing helped to keep the arc together

at an even size, so the curves went together perfectly.

There wasn't enough fabric in my envelope to make

two arcs, 

so I added in a little bit of my own Gracie scraps.

I hope my fabric additions are okay, Calli :)

It's been a delight to work with you ladies!

Thank you Sherri and Amy for

inviting me along!
