As I sit down to write to you tonight I have to let you know how much enjoyment I get from reading your comments. It's funny how a few words can shape my thoughts and views as I stitch and draw, little ideas here and there - they always make me smile and are truly a blessing.
Well, the first Truly Scrumptious block is now finished and stuck on the design wall in the studio while I start working on block number two - this time it's all about watching over your angels
An antique pram with buttons for wheels
Three gorgeous bébés - with little tufts of hair
Red shoes and a scrumptious dress
It's interesting how a project develops, sometimes I draw and stitch first and then sit back wondering what to make and brain storm for ideas. Scrumptious was quite different...this time I sat in the studio one Saturday afternoon in November, drew and designed the quilt with a clear idea in mind...something whimsical, something unique.
Mojo – mo·jo n. pl. mo·jos or mo·joes Personal magnetism; charm
This block is what I am working on as I stitch into the night, as each new block develops I have a new favorite and what better way to spend an evening than watching over your angels.

SUBLIME - each block is stunning
I showed them to a 14yr old who 'CAN'T WAIT' to get the patterns - she's currently stitching her first non cross stitch panel - 'springberries'
Keep the creative juices flowing

Aaaack!!! They just keep on getting cuter!

the babies are too cute. I really like the colors in these blocks. Question, do you choose the fabrics first before you start designing or vice versa? Also, your embroidery floss, all the colors match so well, what brand do you use?

Love, love the Mojo girls! Very, very cute and I can imagine the fun to be had while stitching this cutie.

How true Nat...we all need to watch over our little babes.
I noticed your fetish for red shoes has come out in your design. Ya gotta love red...Ya gotta love shoes!!!
