"NO CURVES!!"
Did you hear someone screaming that from their rooftop? You did?! Wasn't me....
Welcome back! This month we explore curves.... again. If you have been following me on Instagram (@oklaroots) you may have noticed that I am not a big fan of the curves.
Well, let me clarify: I love the look of curves... I just don't like making them.
Anyone else listen to "Delilah" on the radio? You know the intro.... "Deliiiiilaaaaaaaahhh"? Well, I sing that EVERY TIME I am working on one of these blocks... and I kind of love it. (So does my husband, he just doesn't want to admit it)
If you don't know, the Delilah star of this blog post is a recent quilt pattern by Jen Kingwell. I have been holding on to this block of the month pattern since it started... a year ago. I participated with Amitie quilt shop, receiving a block pattern, acrylic templates and a selection of fabrics each month. At this point in time (April 2018) the block of the month program is over and the pattern is not available to purchase. I will update this once that changes. UPDATE: Pattern available here!
My love for boxy bags has gone to a whole new level today. Introducing, sparkly boxy bags!!!
:: applause :: :: cheers :: :: the crowd goes WILD ::
In an effort to get through the last minute Christmas gift hustle, I realized I didn’t have gift bags on hand for the smaller trinkets. Instead of braving the elements (and putting on “grown up” clothes) I relied on my handy-dandy sewing room for a solution.
