It will be the centre block of my future quilt.
The pattern is by Anna Maria Horner (that’s a pdf file, fyi). It was hard, I mean, each square was so twonky, such a stupid shape, I had to trim trim trim to make them even vaguely square, then I zigged the heart on top, then trimmed some more. Then I ironed it onto some fusable stuff to make it stay. Ugh. Whatever, it will look amazing once everything is put together.
I’ll also hand embroider our initials on it.
Ya know? If I’d had any idea that sewing with someone’s retired boxer shorts would be so difficult, I might not have done it at all!
I love that.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!
wow – that’s gorgeous!
Thanks, chicas! I’m glad I didn’t give up after that first quarter!
I approve of this as well.
a certain bullseyed store is going to be opening in canada in 2013. i read it today in my work email and you were the first person i thought of (even though we have never spoke, and i only stalk you via your blog)
I know, I read that yesterday and I swear my heart skipped a beat, so very exciting. And this after years and years of (apparently valid) rumours. My first thought was “I hope it’s the one 2 blocks from my house!!” Because, like, in 2 years minimum, I’ll still live here, right? Riiiiight!
Thanks Erin!
This is great! Impressed with your perseverance, think I would’ve ditched it as soon as the first few seams looked wonky. What an artistic and creative family you are – awesomeness. Must be so much fun!
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing. :)
