Hearts and trees

I didn't go to tatting tonight because the weather was so bad. I decided to come home and just sew a little.   While listening to Pat Sloan's podcast I cut some white and off-white squares and put them with my little red hearts.  The rows are together now and I'll sew them together once I figure out the sizes for the side setting triangles and corner triangles.  I just didn't want to do the math tonight....

I stopped working on the little hearts and decided to do some trees. I hadn't even looked a the pattern until tonight and wasn't sure how big these were. These will finish at 6" X 8" and look pretty big.  I thought they were small and I was pretty surprised at their size.  I'm in an exchange next month to make a tree quilt.  Here's the start of them.  I made 6 of these tonight and I only need to make 20 so I'm on my way.  There's 10 of us in the exchange, so I have to make 10 of each tree.  We're only exchanging 20 trees. The quilt requires alot more....I'll be making the rest on my own so I'll be using scraps after this.   

 

Tomorrow is Thimbleberries Sew Day and I've picked out the pattern I'll be working on. My first Thimbleberrie Sew Day with Barb of Bejeweled Quilts, I'm excited!!!  See you tomorrow!
