Aunt Millie's Block #2


I am working on Aunt Millie's Block #2, the flower combination is orange and blue, and I think it's going to be very cool.  I tried the glue baste method, and I have to say, I prefer the pins.  Once the glue is down it was spreading, making it difficult to turn under the seams.  Oh well, I found a new use for the glue anyway.  My daughter and I also picked out a bunch of fabric, tulle, and embellishments to do a Happy Villages wall hanging during school vacation this week.  She is going to try the "fairy princess" castle version, and I think I'll do the sandcastle version.  There was a Happy Villages class during the retreat, and there are so many versions and options, I can see us getting carried away!  I didn't take the class, but I learned a lot just by checking out every one's projects, and picking the teacher's brain.  I bought the book, and I also learned how to use the Angelina fibers last weekend, and I am going to pick some up this week, too.  I'll post pics of our progress soon...
