Saturday I had my second Stitcher's Garden class. We worked on block 2 and I finished it up at home. This months lesson was was edge/top stitching. We top stitched the semi-circles. This block also used some of our decorative stitches to for the applique. I used more blanket stitching that most of the other quilters but that is what I happen to like the best.
I'm still extremely tired and not 100% so there has been very little in the way of other activities. I did win another Advanced Reader Copy on Goodreads. The book I won is Hearts on a String by Kris Radish and it will be offered for sale in May. I hope to start this one soon. If you're on Goodreads, let me know as I'd love to send you a friend request.
I have a busy Saturday planned but I'm looking forward to the weekend! Happy Stitches!

Pretty flower block! I like the blanket stitch too. Happy stitches to you!
Glad your feeling better. The crazy weather doesn't help us. Looking forward to sunshine and all the stuff that goes with it. I love your block-and I too like the blanket stitch. Have a good day. Hugs, Marie
Love your block... it looks so fresh. I like the blanket stitch too. Never heard of GoodReads (I live in a cave) ... just checked them out and must join!
How pretty is that block! Wow! I'm loving seeing everything you're learning in your class! And the advanced reader copy -- again! Cool! I still haven't joined over there. I really should! I hope you are feeling more yourself soon.
Sometimes these bodies just don't play nice. But at least you had the energy to finish a beautiful block. Fun to try new techniques.
That block is so perky. You did a very good job with it! Enjoy the book you have gotten to read. Do you then do a written review on it for them?
I'm glad you are feeling a little better. Keep on resting as much as you can and get back to 100%! The book sounds good. I was on Goodreads, as you know, but it kept sending emails to all on my contact list. Your block is amazing, as usual!!
Your quilt square is adorable. I love the flower.
Love your block! I hope your feeling better soon!
Fabulous springy block, love it!
Another lovely block, Jackie! I do hope you feel less tired soon and have more energy again! Take care.
I really like this block. It says "summer" all over it.
I've never heard of good reads, so I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip.
Another great block Jackie. I think that you're learning some great things with these blocks. I never really used anything more than buttonhole stitch on mine just because I was afraid of goofing them up. And I'm on Goodreads so please send me a friends request.
Congrats on wining another book! Your quilt block is very pretty. It looks like it was fun to stitch.
Love your flower block!!
Beautiful quilt block Jackie!! I sure hope you get your strength and stamina back soon and shake this darn bug. Until then take good care of yourself and rest. big hugs your way!!
What a lovely block. You're really getting to know your machine and do some brilliant things with it.
I love the flower block! I can't wait to hear what you think of the book.
The block is wonderful!

Glad to hear that you're beginning to feel better, Jackie. Could it be that cool FL weather? We just got home from Daytona Beach and Naples and it was warmer up here in Pittsburgh--crazy!! Love your new block--it is so springy looking...
Oh Jackie, I loved to see all the blocks you finished lately. Great work!
I hope you are feeling much better by now.
Another beautiful block!
