A Little Bramble Berries [mini-post]

 


Hi! Just checking in on the Bramble Blooms Sewalong. Regular post will be in a day or two. That said I am really concentrating hard on completing Marsh by March 1, so while I do lots of BB pondering I don't do much actual sewing or even prepping. Audrey says Part 3 may appear this coming week, so since I am still mired in Part One, well. Late but trying?

Here's what I did this week:

First to remind you all, these are the inspiration pics.

I cut out some of the red stripey tulips. Need a few more petals.
They'll be fused and app'ed with a straight stitch.




To the lower left are the candidates for the solo two or three [must it be 3?] other colored tulips.





EDIT: The Next Day....


Greens for leaves and stems. Green is my least fave color so I really scrounged for these.

Also shown some border ideas for Part Two. 






I'm pretty sure I'll introduce some graphic black and white Pinwheel blocks somehow. But cannot find my black and white prints. I think I know where they are but back pain says No bin rummaging. So I don't exactly know. Inspiration pic from Fat Quarters Shop.


More amazing black and white prints: HERE

That's it for BB! I does look like I envisioned. Ad you know that is very important to me, improv notwithstanding.





Mo says have a great weekend!

  4. Your BB1 is coming along beautifully! I love the blue beach ball stripe fabric as a border possibility. Tulips and the beach - so you! We're looking for the first snowdrops but so far nothing. We bounce back and forth between 50 degree sunny days and 20s again. Today is one of the 20s with snow flurries between the sunbreaks.

  6. The red & white stripe for the tulips is delightful. I love the blue fabric for the pitcher. I'm looking forward to seeing how you put this together. And I'm anxious for the next prompt.

  7. Those red striped tulips are inspired. LOVE the interpretation of your joyful still life.
    Although Kaffe Fassett fabrics are riotously bright and bold, together there are tremendous subtlties at play. Great fun.
