Four Done

Here they are........... Four Heart String blocks. While working on these blocks I came up with a system to keep them coming off the assembly line.............. I am going to move a small unused desk into the studio and set up the Janome on it. Then I can leave the Duchess set up for piecing and the Janome for mending and other projects like the Heart String blocks. Every since Patti (scroll down to Sept. 15) gave a lesson on building a wall, I have been able to piece with precision and I am so much happier. I found a box of strips I had cut many years ago (would you believe 10). I dumped them into a small laundry basket and began. I soon realized that I should always have four going at one time. Two being Leader/Ender blocks and two being worked on for completion. Then when two are done start two more as Leader/Ender blocks. See, clear as mud. Rebekah, how about you doing a few of them. I will be glad to send you the instructions............

  2. I love blocks like this as it is fun to practice embroidery stitches on all those straight seams.
