Yay i love that fabric.... Cant wait for Autumn i think the best season by far :)

Pip said...

Oh wow, you already have your borders on, that's a good idea, gives you a bit more to hold on to when you stitch.

I think Tassie has skipped Autumn and we've gone straight into winter, it's a bit chilly here today. Great start on your Tis the Season! I'm a bit naughty and have made a start too, just couldn't help myself!

Roseanne said...

Its quite cool here in Victoria. The wind makes it feel even cooler right now.
I hope it cools down for you soon!~

retdairyqueen said...

Come visit me if you want cool

Sarah said...

We have had a really cool summer - only about 3 - 4 days warm enough to go swimming outside!

Send some down this way so my tomatoes and fruits can ripen!

Quilt Kitty said...

The block looks great, nice vibrant borders. If you want summer I'm happy to send you a few degrees here from Perth. Three weeks of humid mid to high 30s with a 40 here & there is no fun. We had another freak storm yesterday too. About 8 suburbs had a mini tornado, masses of destruction, winds & rain while all the rest of us saw a few clouds but not a drop of rain - freaky weather! At least cold is great sewing weather. Sweaty & sewing don't mix too well - lol. Tracee xx

That's a cute block! Is it really Autumn date wise? I know your seasons are different than mine, but are the dates too? I've never paid attention. Spring will be here on March 21 give or take a couple of hours! lol Cheers!

Leanne said...

Yep cool down here this morning but a beautiful day. Like the colours of your stitch along

Linda said...

I think that's going to be very cute! Autumn for your and soon it will be Spring for us...it is gray and gloomy here...typical of late winter!

Julie said...

It is going to be very pretty. It is about 72 F (22 C?) here in the Southern U.S.A. today. Perfect weather!

Laura said...

Just have to say that I'm jealous! The list filled before I could get the book...so I'll continue as a spectator.
I'd love to be able to send you some cool from here... more snow forecasted for Monday. I'm ready for spring!

Chooky

do you always piece your blocks before stitcing? is it better that way?

do you use weaveline?
