Two More Penny Sampler blocks

This week we've had more fun with machine applique and sketch stitching.

This is my mitten block:

I really like it!  There is only one in the quilt but I like it so much I may add another.

This is the Clover block:

I thought the aqua thread I am using for the sketch stitching was too hidden on the gray background so I used darker thread...but now I'm not so sure.  

I'm finding that photographing these soft colors with my little point and shoot just isn't showing the fabrics off very well.  Sigh.  

I am working on another block we were assigned this week.  Its more complicated but I hope to get it at least pieced tomorrow....then maybe get the applique done on Monday.
