No klosje (spool) blocks to show this week as I surge on ahead with hand quilting. I spend an afternoon cutting pieces and it only takes an evening and a bit to sew what I've prepped. The hold up is getting out the fabrics and folding and putting them back.
I thought I'd look for some charm squares or fat eights to give a bit of variety without the outlay but there wasn't much at the shop. I did find this jelly roll in the style of fabrics I'm using. It's called Old Primrose Inn by Blackbird Designs. I can easily cut blocks from these and it'll be faster too.
See you all tomorrow for day 4.

What a cute pincushion - especially with the bag that goes with it. Love your new jelly roll.
How much fun are you having with these giveaways Janet? I love the bug in a bag, one nearly teen I know would love to make that...

Love the ladybug pincushion and bag.
I used to have a huge old maple tree in my back yard that was plagued with aphids every spring and summer. I remember buying a whole bag of ladybugs one year and releasing them into the tree to have a feast. They did their best, but even a thousand ladybugs were sadly outnumbered. This bag is much cuter than the one I bought!
The lady bug is darling! Please add me to the drawing.
That is a really neat one. I have never seen that before. You seem to find the cutest kits.
What a cute pincushion!
I love to garden, so, of course, I love lady bugs. Love your pin cushion too!

My niece Carla has been 10 years cancer free, and the lady bug is her motif and I would love to make bug in a bag for her.
BTW I am enjoying your older posts especially regarding machine quilting. Your's sounded like a practical approach to developing the skill. Do you do the feed dogs up quilting and does that allow you to be slower, or is all still down to lots of hours of practice?
I love the pincushion.
Thanks for the opportunity to win !!
Rosalie is another of my favorite Aussies! So cute, Rosalie!
Cute pincushion, again.
The jelly roll looks very good. Have fun working with it.

That ladybug pincushion brings back memories of this ladyblock wooden block toy my son had ages ago when we lived in Holland. Fun reminder for me.
That one's downright adorable! :)
I immediately thought of my friend Jessie when I saw the ladybug pincushion. She LOVES ladybugs. How fun it would be to make this for her.
Bug in a Bag is so cute! I love the Melly and Me patterns. And the way they look after you stitch them up, too. Thanks for all the time you take to photograph and post.

too too cute!!!
Hi, I luuuve the lady bug pincushion :o)
I have followed you blog for a while now and would love a chance at this wonderful giveaway!
Darling pincushion and bag. And great posing for the picture. Who else, on first glance, thought they were looking at Sunbonnet Sue? Or do I just need to get my eyes checked?
I love little tiny things, and little tiny bags to put them in. It's really true (although try to convince a kid) that the best things come in small packages.
