    My first three blocks completed. Love them!

      I am a traditional kind of quilter. Baltimore is more my thing! I have been studying the colour wheel and pinned lots of analogous, complementary, and split complementary fabrics together to make these little blocks. Do you know what............? I love it. Photo included of my first three blocks.
      Thank you Alex for opening my eyes.

        I got a little carried away this weekend. I couldn’t seem to stop! These are so much fun.

          Oooo ... next time I will attach photo. Didn’t know it would be so big.

            Okay, I'm ready for today's video. This is my sewing station since I''ve been watching. Notice my interpretation of Alex's ironing station and clapper! My sister has all of our Grandmother's iron irons, so I got this at the grocery store! It works beautifuly.

              Alex mentioned, on several occasions, where to purchase her grid flannel on her design wall. I have managed to loose the name of the shop. Can anyone help. Thanks!

                    If , like me, you are in the U.K. you can get it at Creative Grids. Also you can buy Kaffe Fassett grid at the Cottonpatch. May be out of stock at the moment. I have mine on the wall and it is invaluable.

                      When Alex did her Redwork Facebook live, I watched it and thought about it.... So, I'm teaching an embroidery machine software class next month, and had to come up with a pattern for the class. "Love thy neighbor" came to mind, and here's the design sewn out!

                        I was wondering about the color wheel Alex is using and where can I purchase it.
