Little LeMoyne Star Monday & Mrs. Miller's Apprentice Quilt

I had a nice relaxing weekend hand stitching some more Little LeMoyne Star blocks. These little hand-pieced treasures are addicting!  I also worked a bit more on the layout for my stars and so far, I'm happy with it.  I need to tweak my measurements just a tad bit more, but I really like it so far! I'm using a set of quilt stamps for the actual LeMoyne Star blocks, but the layout (the pink fabric around the blocks in the center of my photo) I had to draw myself.  I'll probably upload it to my website to share with those of you interested in it after I'm sure I have the measurements exact for templates!

This morning I worked on my Mrs. Miller Apprentice BOM. I am so in love with this fabric line by Pam Buda for Marcus Fabrics.  The name of the fabric line is the same as the BOM - Mrs. Miller's Apprentice.  Gorgeous shades of blues and creams and ivories. This fabric line is available in quilt shops now.

This is going to be such a gorgeous quilt and I look forward to participating in this year long project! If you haven't made any of Pam's creations - her company name is Heartspun Quilts.  Her directions in her patterns are phenomenal and she uses excellent graphics in the directions also!

                                                                

I also downloaded a book recently that peaked my interest.  For those of you that don't know - I love to read. I have many different favorite authors, but this past weekend this book by Patricia MacDonald really caught my attention.  So far - I love it!!! The Girl In The Woods is the name of the book and you can click on the amazon link above to read more about it!

And I almost forgot to post about our Splendid Sampler II blocks!  Some of you may follow me on FaceBook and Instagram - but if not - here are my blocks from this past week 

Are you making the Splendid Sampler II quilt?  

                                                           

The Splendid Sampler II Book

If you haven't already purchased your copy of The Splendid Sampler II book - just click on the book image above and it will take you right to Amazon where you can purchase a copy of the book and even the kindle version (which is awesome by the way!)

I think I should do a blog post this week and update all of you here also on all the blocks I have completed for The Splendid Sampler II quilt.  I am part of a Sew-A-Long on Facebook and we post our blocks every week as we get them done! It's "sew" much fun!

Have a wonderful Monday!
