so I chose my own color, my neutral, "LIME GREEN"
the back after basting and hand sewing unit |
I would rather have 12 colors, instead of 4 months to put the quilt together. Actually finishing a quilt isn't always my plan, I like to just look at color each month, use it, learn from it. So I plan to use these as my next 3 months focus colors
fuchsia |
Gold |
Gray |

Daisies, dragon flies, and the cutest gradient color lime circle fabric! |
The colors so far. Now how to set them... on a white or cream background? this orientation or turned to have hexies touching on side?
8 X 11" the embroidery stitching is done . I loved leaving some of the top right corner fabric unstitched as the fabric is so cool on it's own. I danced from image to image, trying out stitches with different threads. No plans. Just moving along. Now I want to sew it to a backing (no batting) on three sides, then insert a stiff board and close the last side.
I love the variegated perle cotton thread making French knots |
a variation of fly stitch with a flower on top. The stars were for fun, maybe little flying things |
So I hope to do my feather star blocks sing in the colors I chose to do in the next few months. They'll be easier to join, just next to each other I think. Traditional but not.
just for fun, I saw a quick tute video on simple drawing of a giraffe and did this on my calendar, where I try little things. He looked better before inking in but I love the quizzical look on his face
I love this little paint tute any one can do easily (by the same teacher)

Love your EPP! So wonderful!
The tiny gate scrap caught my eye right away! All the finished colours look so marvelous together. And thanks for that fall leaves tutorial -- I may try that in my sketchbook to celebrate the season!
I love all of this! The pretty little color things! And I love the embroidery!
Your blocks look fantastic together - and I love the lime green. Going rogue with color is awesome! Love that little giraffe too!! He's adorable!
This is the kind of post I want to keep coming back to. Lots of ideas. Inspiration. Creative.
I’m a green fabric lover, and lately lime is my favorite. The gradient dots are marvelous a d the garden gate adorable. Your orange flower just keep getting better and better! Mr Busy doesn’t get embellishment either! Or detail!
That giraffe is too cute. What fun to see him peering out from your calendar. You do have some of the best fabric and you put it to good use.
Those EPP shapes are striking.
Excellent EPP on the fussy-cut gate.
Your lime block is beautiful, have fun playing with fushia and gold! I love the flower too, and its sparkling knots and stitches. The giraffe is adorable ;) Thank you for sharing!
That giraffe is TOO cute, LeeAnna!! Love the colors you chose for the rest of the year. Looking forward to seeing the lovely blocks to follow.
Great scrappy EPP project! So many things to look at in all your colourful blocks. love the little gate!
Your EPP blocks look divine! I'd probably set them like hexies but I love the setting you've been using. That giraffe is adorable! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Wonderful as always. I think I would like white over off white with all those pretty colors you have. Will be anxious to see your project going forward.

Oh my gosh, those EPP RSC blocks are just amazing no matter what fabric you put behind them!
You make quilting look so easy and for me it is NOT. Love your giraffe face too. Thank you for sharing your talent with FFO and have a very nice weekend.
OMG! I luv the sunflower embroidery best.
Thanks for linking to Art For Fun Friday

Those open quilt "blocks" are cool. And I love the colors you chose. Have a great weekend.
I like the open layout of your EPP blocks. As for your DH. . .I smiled as mine is exactly the same way. . .pollen. . .bugs. . indeed!! LOL
Lee Anna, I really love your EPP blocks. Great job on those. I really love your hand embroidery too! My DH is a left-brain too...and partially colorblind at that! Thanks for joining us at Monday Musings! Have a great week!
