| I have been working on the Splendid Sampler. It is a slow go, but am progressing. When Pat Sloan posted her bonus block, Bumble Bee, I had to give it a try. The bag is fashioned after Sherri McConnell's tutorial to make this type. I love it, and it is so simple. You know I am the one that says if one is good, more is better. I actually made one, start to finish, and loved it, so decided to make 3 more. What a fun project, and a great way to use 2 inch squares in a variety of colors, and a few of my many buttons. First up is the all shades of green 30"s fabrics and multi colored buttons. |
 |
| The second is 2 inch squares of 30's in assorted prints, and because she loves Flamingo's like I do I added one little Flamingo block. This one got an assortment of yellow buttons. |
 |
| This time it was 2 1/2 inch blocks of 30's and assorted blue and white buttons. I have made them all nice and big for projects. I have made several bags for myself. I can put all I need for a given project, pick it up and go. Now I need to make a couple more in other types of fabrics. I had so much fun with the applique and deciding which buttons to use. I hope you will give them a try. Have a great day. Mary |
