PHEW ! The MBIAJ Sewing and Quilting Dept sewed the lid on that jar just in time ..... the blue moon moonbeams didn't escape ! I used Kajsa's method of applique-ing things down with a black straight stitch ..... I think her stuff is SO cute and I'm happy with how this turned out !
So, even though this block wasn't finished in time for the "Texting While Sewing Contest" deadline over at Amy's During Quiet Time Blog ,
I really enjoyed making it and making three different types of my own "text" fabrics.
1) handwritten fabric ;
and ; 3) handstamped with alphabet stamps and ink.
Now to figure out what to do with this block ! a pillow ..... maybe; embroidery hoop art ......maybe; wall hanging .... maybe; part of a quilt ..... maybe ..... so what would you do? so tell me .... maybe ! (ha ha .... how does that song go?)
Be back soon!
Toodles,
Mary Anne (aka Mare)

Hi Mare :)
I just love your block! I'm a little crazy over jars - I love to decorate with them! :o) And, I really enjoy canning too! I think your block would look super cute in the kitchen... wall hanging, toaster cover, pillow? center block on a valance? Whatever you decide, it will be adorable!
Such a sweet block. I think it would look great anywhere. Great use of text fabric too.
That black outline stitching just makes it perfect! Great job.
