I have had a very difficult time with this challenge because I don't think out of my box enough! I tend to find traditionally pieced blocks and things that piece quickly, in all my quilting projects and the reason I wanted to do this challenge was so that I could work with some other medium and make my blocks more interesting... So far I haven't really done that. So this week I checked to see what Dale Ann Potter did before I made mine, and cheated a little, but in retrospect I am glad I did, because I realized I could do some fun things with a little thought and a trip to Walmart!
Week 6 LOVE LOVE LOVE |
So I went out and looked for stencils and dug out my oil paint sticks and with a little effort (didn't know you had to peel the skin off those paint sticks) I managed to complete my block. And I was very pleased with the end result. I paper pieced the heart from EQ7 and the rest was done with a stencil I bought from Walmart and the oil paint sticks. I had bought some sewing related buttons a while ago and I sewed them on and my block looked great. I am very pleased with the end result.
Of course this week was Valentines and I have to tell you my husband is a little bit of a sentimental Guy! This year he got me his usual funny card, a single red rose and a shinny red 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. Always wanted one of those, but not quite so small... LOL
Happy Valentines (belated) to all my blogging buddies!
