"Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, Hum, Hum, Sew, Sew, Sew" sang Miss Behulah.
After the knock out drag out , I had the other day with Miss Behulah my Brother sewing machine , she was ready to cooperate and sew her little heart out. It was not long before she and I had the borders attached to my Miss Peppermint Pinwheels top.
I was happy as a clam to have the top finished, and Miss Behulah sighed with relief that she was not going to the ole' scrap yard.
Anywhooo... Here she is ! Miss Peppermint Pinwheels in all her glory. Is she not yummy?!
Miss Peppermint Pinwheels is made up of 72 eight inch blocks. and measures 75" x 83" . A perfect size for those cold winter nights when one wants to sit on the couch and eat peppermints . Right?
"Will I go in the hoop today? " asked Miss Peppermint Pinwheels sweetly.
 |
| Edna is not interested in seeing the quilt. Oh bother. |
"Oh, I would love to have you in the hoop, Honey, but you will have to wait patiently until the next available hoop is free."
I didn't have the heart to tell her that another quilt , "Miss Pretty in Peach" may jump ahead of her once that the blocks are all pieced. Oh well, Miss Peppermint Pinwheels is understanding. I will break it to her later that she will probably be my summer 2026 quilt project.
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting,
y'all
Peppermint kisses and warm winter wishes, !!!!

ReplyDeletePeppermint Pinwheels is a real cutie and will be fun to quilt this summer. Using flannel on the back would make her extra cozy for cuddling under next winter. Happy stitching!
