My first ever WIP Wednesday!

I'm so excited to be able to link up to WIP Wednesday for the first time!

My first WIP are these embroidered ABC blocks. I have been following the 'S is for Stitch' ABC BOW at Liz's. I am slightly behind but it has been fun and do-able to work on one block each week. I am really learning to love embroidery.

I am also working on my quilt for the 2014 Pantone Quilt Challenge hosted by Adrianne and Anne. I love the brightness of purples and pinks and have decided to combine these with lots of neutrals. At the moment I don't have a definite plan in my head, I'm just enjoying making blocks!

And I do have a finish to share. I made this cute Ellie Travel Case following Heidi's tutorial. It is a great tutorial and came together really easily. This is heading off in the mail for a friends birthday. 

Thanks for visiting!

    Welcome to WIP! You have been busy with a variety of projects - very exciting. Your embroidery is looking great. I recognise the purple Acacia piece in you block and the travel case looks wonderful!

    I find it's such fun making blocks from 'scraps' like your purples, pinks and neutrals. Brave you doing embroidery too - looks great.

    I love all your projects. The embroidery blocks are so cute! Good on you for enbracing the pantone colour. The purples look great with the neutrals. I like that you dont have a plan for your blocks yet. I love that travel bag, it's such a fun shape, and that big flower print is eyecatching!!

    I wish I could sew like you, not having a plan for the blocks and just sewing them and seeing what you come up with - brilliant :) Lucky friend that is receiving the bag!

    Oh I am impressed with that case! It looks fantastic! I am going to check out the Pantone challenge. Last year I did one for emerald but I'm not sure I have time to do this years. I'll check it out! Looking forward to seeing yours develop because there couldn't be a prettier color scheme!
