Project Name & Page Link: ‘Rail Fence’ Style Clover Block
Brief Description: I was inspired by this Clover Block, but it was too small for the pile of 12" blocks I’m working on, so I decided to play with sizing it up. I started with the plan to use 2.5" strips, since I have so many of them precut already. The entire block takes just 12 2.5"x6.5" green scraps, and 12 2.5" squares of background fabric, and is done with the Snowball Method. Overall it’s very much like a Rail Fence block, but with snowball corners. It fits the prompt because I used seven different fabrics in it.

Project Name & Page Link: Lucky Clover Block
Brief Description: I wasn’t thrilled with my clover block above, so I decided to keep playing around with alternate patterns. I found one on McCalls, that required 2 greens. I’ve had the darker green in my stash for ages, and I just don’t like it. I should like it; it’s a deep rich color, has some interesting texture, and is good quality. But somehow every time I try to use it in something, I hate how it looks and take it out. So it’s been lingering in my scrap bins for a decade. I finally found a way to turn this lousy scrap into something great!

Project Name: Pleated Doll Skirt
Description: I was asked to make a skirt to fit a larger doll than my usual repertoire, which seemed fine, until I learned that what this person had in mind was a pleated skirt. I’d never done pleats before, so some research was in order. I found the fork method to work pretty well, especially once I broke half the tines off a plastic utensil to accommodate the smaller scale I needed (somewhere between a quarter and half inch). I’m rather pleased with the results.

Project Name: Secret Advanced Studies Project!

Brief Description: I’m starting on a new Advanced Studies project today, and I’m so excited about it! Only problem? It’s a secret from our Advanced Studies Examiner, Ms. Abbeeroad.

So far, it seems like it will work up beautifully.

But if any of you are curious, feel free to send me a PM, and I’ll share the details.

Project Name: Craft Room Curtain
Description: It’s not often that I get to use actual yardage from the stash, but my neighbors’ ever changing collection of backyard debris inspired me to go digging. This fabric originally came from my great-aunt’s stash, and still had its sales tag on it - 2 yards of 36 inch wide fabric for 49 cents each.
