FINISHED! two buck block update

i just realised that i haven't blogged about my recently completed two buck blocks.

here are the two for June and July

love doing them and using thangles - very easy to get nice points - and let's face it, i need all the help i can get :)

love the colour way too - im doing it through Kornacraft which i count as my LQS even though it is 20 minutes away :)  they are offering it in two colour ways - this one (pink) and another one that i think is brown?  they wanted to offer a more masculine one, but was a bit too dark for me.  so this one it is!  i haven't bought the finishing kit, as im not 100% sure what i want to do with them once they are finished, but fun in the meantime

and $2!  can't go wrong ;)

today's fun!

happy crafty pug today!!!!!
wednesday's is my 'day off' when my lovely hubby looks after the little human. this has been so that i can use the day to do my study - but today i FINISHED my last assignment for the semester - yay!!!
so that got done around 1pm - so i spent the rest of the day crafting!
so much fun!

i finished piecing all the blocks for the birdie quilt - see sample of blocks below. now i just have to work out what colour sashing and border to add.....









i also pieced another strip of the log cabin onto jan's quilt, and i started putting together my 'two buck block' BOM with Thangles from my fave quilt shop "Kornakraft" in Gawler. month 1 done, and month 2 underway. this is easily the neatest block i have ever made - go thangles!

very easy to use - you put the two pieces of fabric together and then sew the thangles strip to them. then cut them up and iron as below...

so neat once you have ripped the paper off the back


and look at those corners lining up! so proud of myself :) he he



ahhhhhhhhhhhh, a happy pug tonight

pugs and kisses
