And then I've been working on a few block boards~ or mini design boards. You can find a tutorial on Lori Holt's blog. Scroll down the side til you get to the 'tutorial' drawer. ;-) I made a few little ones for small blocks, but I also made some big ones for 12 inch blocks because I joined a fat eighth swap and need to make 17 blocks from different fabrics. Everyone sends a F8 of their chosen fabric to each swapper and we add from our stash to make them a block. I thought if I used these and cut out a few at a time, it would help keep me organized. ;-) And the pretty fabrics are from the strips I won from Debi that I told you about a little while back. :-) I love it when the universe works with me!! LOL If you decide to make some, check out your dollar store for the foam board. ;-) I found it at Dollar Tree.
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

I LOVE your stitching and Lori's boards, I love those too!
I love Gail's designs and your stitchery is gorgeous! I had the pleasure of spending the day with Gail and her friend Sandra while they were here for quilt market and show them some of the shops in our area, especially the "Shepherds Bush" that Gail was very anxious to visit. They are such sweet ladies and so fun to spend time with. When I dropped them at their hotel that evening, I even got a sneak peek at the pieces she was going to show at Market...I wanted to grab them ALL and run, LOL. I've also made some of the portable design boards from Lori's tutorial and they make life soooo much easier. Hugs...
Your stitching is beautiful girlie!

Beautiful stitchery Sandie! It is a sweet sweet project! Your other little project is fun too! I am going to have to try that... and maybe share it at my retreat next month.
Your stitchery looks great Sandie! Good for you!
Those block boards look very useful!! I'm going to have to make me a couple!! Would make nice gifties for quilting friends for Christmas too!! Thanks for the link to the tute! 8-)
I just love Gail Pan's stitcheries. Your work looks great. I saw the design board tutorial ad agree that it's a great idea. You look so organised with all of them done.
