Everything about working with flowers and gardens inspire me. This quilt along is making me SO happy during the gray days of January. I have to admit the last few days have sparkled liked diamonds with sunshine and a snow covered land.
I really love my theme and story for Block #3. The Planting guide. I don't think I'll ever forget how wonderful my friend felt when telling me this. If you have a planting guide story or know if they still exist. leave me a comment (story is in my PDF)

- This week I'm showing you fussy cutting that middle.
- See below for some more photos about the block this week and a tip!
** BUY a Gemini Die Cut machine!**
- When you have 2 shapes, you can cut them at the same time with your Gemini.
- This really saves time!
- I needed white & tan triangles so did 4 white & i had this scrap for the tan. Then I did the rest of the tan in another pass
I have a BRAND NEW Design board, no threads stuck on it yet!! I am SO excited about this, it's the simple things that make me happy.
When working I find it best to lay out all my pieces so I don't mess up the order. BUT i have one more tip for you to be being sure you get it right
- Take a PHOTO before you sew
- And look at it!
- Photo on the left, THREE, not one, not Two, but THREE of the HST are wrong
- How did that happen?
- If I had not taken the photo I'm sure I would have sewn them wrong.
Is it possible to have the most perfect scissors for this photo?
I think so! These are a recent purchase, perfect for garden shots!
