Last Row and Eggs
June 8, 2009
Well, the last row I have to do. I tried a new block in miniature and it came out alright, just not the right size. Supposed to finish at 2″ but was a little larger.
So I went to a 1.5″ Friendship Star and added around it to make it 2″ finished. I wanted the more complicated star but with family coming any minute and a busy rest of the month, I didn’t want to make Diane wait another month. And it was soooo hard not to do scrappy. From top to bottom: Julie, Nansi, Diane, Candy and me.
Check out Diane’s block closer, she designed it herself. It finishes at 2.25″. Isn’t that a neat block? I can’t imagine doing that one in miniature.
My rows are home now, I’ll show them later. Below is a piece I finished last week, it’s on canvas, something new for me. It says: Don’t keep all your eggs in one basket. I used Distress It spray by Hooked on Rugs, an antiquing solution for punchneedle and other fibers. I like it, quick and easy. No need to run upstairs and make tea.
See ya. Happy Monday.

I love your little distressed piece. It looks so old, which, of course was what you were going for.
The rows are sure pretty. Nice, cheerful colors. Your friendship block is cute. I like that star. It says a lot for being so simple.
Take care and have fun.
