This month's block celebrates our anniversary.
Oh my gosh we were awfully young way back then. And boy was I tiny. Not lookin' that good anymore. Back to the subject at hand.
I really thought about what to do for this month. I thought a school house, then an apple orchard, but when I went in search of something nothing really twigged with me. Then I found this great pattern over on Angie's website. I looked for fabric to make it, but nothing was twigging on that front either. Then a little light bulb came on. Why not do embroidery? I found the perfect background, then two great fabrics for the borders.
It reminded me of the top we had on our wedding cake. There was a bit more to it way back then, but time has not been kind to it. Part of it has broken away, but this is still in tact. I keep it in my china cabinet. I should wash it up...........no then I would break what is left of it. Best to leave it alone.
This is it. This is one of my favourites so far.
I have no idea where I found the pattern on Angie's site. I do remember there was more to it though. If I had the perfect fabrics I would have done it another way, but luck wasn't with me this month.
My rule for these blocks was I had to use the fabrics in my stash. So far, so good.
