It's my day to share with you on the 'Bowls with Borders' blog hop....
...first a big thank you to Mme Samm, for her endless hours of hard work to make these blog hops happen.
and one more thank you to Regina for her generosity...supplying us with the pattern we used to make our bowls.
I must say I did struggle with the paper piecing but I am very happy with
the bowls I have to share.
The first one is a message board...
...the fabric I used was Moda's Redwork Renaissance
by Chloe's Closet and
I embroidered the cherries in the bowl.
The cherries are from Bird Brain Designs pattern
'Fresh from the Garden'
After struggling with my bowl of cherries
I decided to try making some more bowls...it went a little better
and I do luv it....
The block is 7.5" x 11.5" and made with scraps from my stash!!
I'm undecided on what I will make with these bowls,
I know I will come up with something cute!!
Please visit the other fabulous bloggers that are
participating in the Bowls with Borders Blog Hop today,
they will over flow their bowls with inspiration for us.

I really like the ideas you came up with, Pauline. Gorgeous reds in the cherry bowl and great use of that embroidery.
ReplyDeleteLove the end result with the Halloween block, too. Great fun in that one.
Beautiful work as always!
Your bowls are so cute!! Love the cherries stitchery and the Halloween block is just great fun!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Jeanneke.
Both lots of bowls are lovely. My favourite is the cherry bowl!
ReplyDeleteI love both bowls but the bowl of cherries is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite quilting tool is my rotary cutter - how did we manage without them??
Great bowl ideas! So original. My favourite quilting tool is my pin cushion(s). I hate sticking my fingers in a box of pins and getting poked and there is something gratifying about sticking pins in a pin cushion.
ReplyDeleteI think the cherries look lovely. What a wonderful idea! I'm a follower and my favourite quilting tool has to be my thimble. It keeps at least one of my fingers safe!
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks, especially the "bowl full of cherries". Favorite tool, not sure but it appears that I have a drawer full of them :). Thanks for being part of the hop.
ReplyDeleteI love your bowl with the cherries Awesome
ReplyDeleteGreat bowls! My favorite tool? My 1/4 inch foot for my sewing machine.
ReplyDeletePauline. Both of your blocks are awesome! I like to see extra embroidery used with quilting and you combined them beautifully! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove the added stitchery with both bowl settings - love showing how there are many ways to add to a design/pattern. The chalk fabric fascinates me and I have yet to try it - but love the idea of a kitchen note board. Thank you for sharing with us today - and love the Blackbird pattern for your give away.
ReplyDeleteOooh I like your name tag!
ReplyDeleteGreat bowls you made, I like the cherrie one the most, it 's so summerlike!
The reds are stunning and the cherries crown this work. The needlework is excellent and matches the patches. The blackboard addition is creative.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite (not really) but couldn't do without is my unpicker (have more than one so when get tired of one have another).
