Quilt Blocks Finished!
Here are my red and white quilt blocks for Clare's quilts for Leukaemia projects. I took a quick photo before I put them in the mail today!
I dug around in my never ending stash of fabric and found some reds and white to create some blocks. I created these two first.
Then decided to digitize an embroidery design that is similar to the logo design on the Leukaemia Research website. I created the initial satin stitch design and just stitched a red satin stitch on the white block. I changed the design to a blanket stitch and just stitched the outline. The third block is a blanket stitch, but the red and white fabric is appliqued on by my embroidery machine. Simple to finish...let the machine stitch it!
(top- blanket stitch outline, left- blanket stitch applique, right- satin stitch outline)
This last block I created from triangle scraps leftover from the previous blocks. I used a little fabric from my stash, cleaned up all my scraps (created another block!) and stitched some blocks for a worthy cause!

Hi Serena,
Thanks a lot for the contribution. They arrived safe and sound and I love the flowers.
BTW did you know that I can't subscribe to your blog with Bloglines. Have you got the "atom" and "RSS" feeds boxes checked? This is why it is not linked on my blog at the moment.
These are terrific! I especially like the one inspired by the organization's logo.
