I finished a few more violet blocks over the weekend.  This is it for me – a total of 6 blocks (2 of these were already shown and counted).  These blocks were a lot of fun to make, and I’m thinking of making some for myself – red poppies on white comes to mind.  We’ll have to see – it’s not like I don’t have enough projects underway...

My last three checkerboard blocks arrived this week.  We are still having internet problems completely unrelated to our kitchen remodel (why not roll the inconveniences all together, yes?).  Thank you very much Cheri in Illinois, Karen in Victoria, & Pokey in California.  Unfortunately, all the blocks are getting packed awy for a bit , but I promise I will put up pictures of what I got. Thank you again!  Mb. in...

I spent most of the month driving my kids here and there, but I found a few minutes to make two of these cute blocks. I love all the colors that everyone is making! The lucky winners will have fun arranging all the shades. Wendy...

Hello Everyone! Alas, I found a little time to finish the other blocks for this month. Here’s the nine I made. I really love these colors. Keeping my fingers crossed that maybe I’ll get lucky and win some of these pretties. School starts for my kiddos tomorrow. I’ve got a daughter who is a 10th grader and a son in the 8th grade. I can’t believe how much they’ve grown in the blink of an eye. I remember taking...

I had this pattern up on my desktop for days, and I was sure I was going to find time to make it. I love it! My son arrived about 10 days ago and is filling up my sewing room. At long last, after a summer of hoping, my house is closing tomorrow and I’ll be moving this coming week. I’ve had to admit to myself that I’m just not going to find a time to make even one. But . . . I have a sewing room in the house, and hope to catch...

I confess that one of the reasons I mailed my blocks (checkerboards to Pokey and Shannon) so late this month was that I was dreading the trip downtown to what looked to be the closest PO to my new apartment.  Then, last week,  the receptionist at the office told me about one in an adjacent town that was pretty close (and had lots of parking).  Even though I drove by to check the Saturday hours one night earlier in the week, when...
