...my technique definitely got better as I stitched along...started with the cupcake paper first...I'm not thrilled with it, the stitches are a bit too big, but I decided to leave it. I'll have it for comparison...I'll know if I'm getting better. I really enjoyed doing it...I'm on my way!
I started the 9 Patch Exchange blocks today...

WooHoo - you're stitching! I LOVE your cupcake block - it looks great, Carol. The stitches are wonderful.
Awesome nine patches! :-)
I put the binding on my little version of Nice People Nice Things this weekend. They are fun blocks to stitch :o) Yours looks nice!
What a cute cupcake block...so sweet!
I can't see the stitching too much but it looks good from here...
LOVE the NPNT blocks, yours looks great - so do your 9 patches! Mine are always so wonky.
that's a cute little stitchery. I've been doing 9-patches as a leader/ender but for a local 9-patch challenge. I have 80 made. Need to cut something else now for a L/E
Beautiful, Carol.
I got my strips cut yesterday. Have no idea IF I cut enough strips but will start on sewing them together today. A few here, a few there.
Who's pattern is the Nice People Nice Things? Is that the same one I see at Kellys?
LOVE the cupcake, but you know me and cupcakes, never met one I didn't love. I like your attitude about sticking with your first attempt and moving on. I think it looks marvelous, especially for your first block.
Hi
I'm doing the 9-patch swap too! fun!
cutest cupcake stitching -
That little cupcake is adorable -- you know how we love our cupcakes! And a 9-patch exchange sounds like a grand idea!
