I got 24 pairs of sunny strips sewn together while watching evening TV.
Next step: cutting those in half and sewing the 2 pieces together. My tutorial as a PDF is on my website under Free Resources.
A company that my son does business with gives him a box of candy each year. I ended up with it last year and this year. There is a little guide inside to show what the individual selections are so I can find my favorites first. My most favorite is milk chocolate vanilla buttercreams.
I just reread your tutorial on 16 patch block. I'm late to quilting and there are so many things I want to try. I know it's not a difficult block but I've just not got around to doing it. The white chocolate on the package caught my eye as I'm a big fan. Have a happy sewing day - we are expecting a National lockdown to start soon which may last until Easter!!! :(
ReplyDeleteLovely sunny strip pairings...
ReplyDeleteThat chocolate selection looks yummy--enjoy...

Those strips will certainly warm up the sewing room, even as the temps outside are cool. 21°F outside this morning, all the way down here!!! Brrrrr in any language. I remember the Fannie May candy just as well as the Sees from the west coast. I wonder what the East Coast equivalent is?
ReplyDeleteThe colors are just what I need today to combat the grayness of yesterday and today. Beautiful batiks. Hope you got your battery fixed.
ReplyDeleteMMMM... Fannie May chocolates...I will be happy to eat all the dark chocolate ones for you. (wink)
ReplyDeleteThe sunshine is nice to see on this cold day.
A little sunshine is def. what we all need as we continue to wait till it’s SAFE AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sunny strips - especially for your snowy area. I prefer dark chocolate to milk but I'm with you on the vanilla buttercream.
ReplyDeletePretty sunshine! Lucky you to get the candy. I love knowing what each piece is before I bite into it.
ReplyDeleteHi Wanda. I'm doing IG for my quilt guild, the Star Quilters Guild in Roanoke, VA. I decided recently to start highlighting IG quilters on our guild's Facebook page every Monday. This week I chose you! You have so much to offer quilters and you so generously share your information with others. So thank you for all that you do. I enjoy reading your blog and seeing all your beautiful and colorful work!
ReplyDeletePretty pairs! More chocolate? Yeah!!! You are a lucky woman!
ReplyDeleteFun post today Wanda, eye candy and sweet candy. I know you are enjoying both.

Love all the sunny colors. Makes me wish for my sewing machine that I lost in our move in 2019. Will try to replace soon. Happy quilting!!
