Safe Keeping Sew Along ~ Part Four from Heartspun Quilts ~ Pam Buda

Here we are....the final week of my Safe Keeping Sew along. Week four? Already? These weeks seem to have flown by.

Our block this week is another favorite of mine....Cake Stand.
I adored this block long before I became a quilter. There's something about a basket block that I just love. Can't think of a version I don't like.

Cake Stand fabrics are from my New Circa Essentials and Bess' Flower Garden collections.

Let's get started....

Safe Keeping Sew along ~ Part Three from Heartspun Quilts ~ Pam Buda

This is the third week of my Safe Keeping sew along. Already?!
It seems time has flown when you think of this as week three, yet in so many ways, time seems to be standing still right now as we so wish this horrible virus would go away!

Well...I'm hoping this little sew along is helping to keep you busy with something you enjoy doing.

This weeks block is also a favorite for me.....

Safe Keeping ~ Part Two ~ Correction from Heartspun Quilts ~ Pam Buda

My apologies everyone!! I have a mistake in the cutting directions for the LeMoyne Star.

From the light print:

Cut (4) 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" rectangles.....

not 1 1/2" x 3 1/2".

Also, trim your Half Square Triangles to 1 1/2"
square.

So, so sorry about this!! At least your pieces are bigger than need be and you can cut them down to the proper size.

My bad!! I feel terrible....ugh!

The corrections are in my original blog post in red.

Katie O...thanks for your comment alerting me to the problem. I ...

New Sew Along Inspiration from Heartspun Quilts ~ Pam Buda

Hi to everyone from my home to yours!

I'm all ready to begin our little sew along and wanted to share my inspiration with you. I'm not a lover of large table runners. I find them too big and bulky and they're almost never the right size for where I would want to use them. I much prefer square toppers or really small table runners.

The runner you see in the photos above is the perfect size for me. I can have the runner on top of the spool cabinet and still have a place for my ...
