Easy Street finally!

Here it is, Easy Street.  It is finally bound.  I love how it turned out. I did use Bonnie Hunter's color scheme, which just so happens to be the colors my husband loves.

It is a big quilt once I put the 3 borders on it.

Charlie gave it his seal of approval.

When I visited my friend Sandy in Atlanta back in March, we bought  this fabric . The Atlanta shop hop has a fabric that all the shops use for the theme of the hop.  Love the sewing theme. Sandy and I each purchased this pattern in 2 sizes for the iron caddy.  We got all the materials needed and  each cut out the pattern.

Mine fits the Rowenta iron, Sandy cut out for the small one.  Now we each have the measurements for the two sizes.  Mine sat unsewn for several months.  This too, is finally done.  YEA!!! Now my iron is ready for the next retreat.

I had found these 3 little embroidery kits in my stash. One evening got them out and did all the embroidery.  The small chicken is made into a pin. The large chicken is framed with fabric, but I haven't decided how I will finish it out.  The bunny, well I am not sure what I will do with it either.  Maybe a coin purse will get made using the embroidery. All turned out cute.

I am going to work on the binding of a couple of things this evening.
Have a great week.

Easy Street Update

I have been working on Easy Street, Bonnie Hunter's latest mystery.  I wrote about it  a week or so ago, and showed this block.  Guess what, It is put together wrong, I mean really wrong! I just noticed that the 4 patches on three of the sides are set incorrectly, the blue and purple are too.  Guess what, I have a great piece of back art for this quilt!
Thursday Sew's I have not produced these correct blocks!  I have 4 done of the 2 designs.  Looks like I will need to create more individual blocks to make the block 2, I screwed up.  Amazing I can't even look at a picture and follow the design correctly.  How else do you get back art??

Have a great day.
