What a year !

This is the result of the 4 different artists, one block a month,
that I followed in 2022 !
Let's see what's on the design wall !
This year was all about the bunny !
I shrunk the applique pattern to fit on a 5 inch sqare !
Had a great year with her birds !
Here too, I shrunk the applique to fit a 5 inch square !
Her theme was books and roses bookmarks !
I turned her embroidery patterns in to 6 inch churn dashes !
It's fun to challenge myself with these 6 inch blocks !
All these creative people !
I really enjoyed making each block !
What's on the design wall for 2023 ?
Jennifer 's Daisy a Day for starters!
