Snowed-in Saturday sewing
Yellow block finished!
and put together with its friends:
Bought the fabric for a 2 1/2 inch white border today, then a scrappy square border. I'd like to add my inspiration ric-rac somewhere. Maybe by the binding?
I also finished the tiny totes. Picture coming soon.
I'm also excited about this scarf:
I'd ordered a jelly roll of
Delilah fabric. The colors are so peaceful and springy- florals, small stripes, polka-dots. With the pop of red, it makes me think of Valentine's Day. I used
daisyjanie's boho chic scarf pattern. It calls for 2-inch strips- I just used them as-is, so mine's a little longer. I left on as many selvages as possible and added one strip of small red gingham. It took
all evening to make- many many long seams- but totally worth it.
I had 12 strips left over that I'd like to share so you could get started on your own scarf
or some other cute thing.
To enter, leave a comment answering this Valentine-y question:
What do you think of Valentine candy hearts?
We're using them tomorrow for a math activity.
My opinion: They taste like Pepto-Bismol, they feel chalky, but are fun to read.
I'll randomly pick a winner on Tuesday, February 21.

Those are very cute little stars. Very pretty scarf too, springy!
My Mom used to put a little box of the hearts into my lunch on valentines day. Have not had them in years but they do bring back fond memories.
I love those stars. Great job!!
Great looking stars! Eating candy hearts is a little like eating chalk, but sometimes the sayings make it worth it.
I love your blocks so far! Which other colors are you planning on adding?
Valentine candy hearts are nasty. They are fun to read, though. lol. I'm not much of a candy eater. I prefer dark chocolate any day of the week! :) :)
Candy hearts are something one doesn't eat for flavor, but for effect. The old-fashioned sayings are my favorite.
I love tradition so, for that, they are a must. However, I don't eat them because they remind me of the tums I had to live on when I was pregnant! Thanks for the chance to win.
I love your stars, and your scarf is gorgeous, those fabrics are just divine!! I agree, they look so cute but I don't like eating them!
