I made two blocks from my July's partner for the  Hello Block Swap.

Blocks I made for Laura

I also finished block 36 of the Splendid Sampler project.

While I like embroidery, I hate french knots and I don't like much the lazy daisy stitch.

However I wanted to give this block a try as close to the original as possible. 

In this block I also experimented with glow in the dark embroidery thread (works great) and with the soluble sulky embroidery stabilizer (it was ok... I was able to see the stitches traced on it and it washed away just fine. I didn't particularly enjoyed stitching on it, but probably just because I didn't stabilized properly)

Block 35

The only other thing I made are three blocks for my Stephen King project.

I prepared 5 blocks for my trip as I thought I would have time to make them.

While I had time, I didn't seem to be in the mood. So I made half of one during the trip and completed the rest yesterday.

The Long Walk, The Stand, Gerald's Game (7.5''x5'')

Well, I hope to have a more productive week ahead!

Oh, I also added some side panels to this great t-shirt I got in the kids section of a shop :) I got the biggest size they had but it was still a little too tight on the belly :) I watched some youtube tutorials and then I gave it a try. Easier than I thought!! It is not perfect but I use it as a pijamas so who cares! Next time I will add less fabric (because now it's a little too big) and I will make it narrower at the top. But as a first experiment this went great!!
