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!

  10. 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!
