Yes, a beautiful big red pig, Honchey!! Of course I had to to different:[ATTACH=CONFIG]362133[/ATTACH]Sand trap for golfers!! Little did the golfers know that Lady A's hoard of cats had been there the night before, and when the unsuspecting golfer swung his/her club, a shower of things came down on them...that was not sand!!
And the ribbons is a ribbon-road map of the USA Route 66:[ATTACH=CONFIG]362134[/ATTACH]Missouri to Texas and through Oklahoma tepee country. Eagles are flying high...as emblems of the USA. |

You guys are good! Love the red & pink, Anne. And QNS great colorful blocks.
Here are mine; I substituted Tulips for Anael instead of Ribbons (must have had some y-seams)[ATTACH=CONFIG]362146[/ATTACH] |
So far so good on the finished blocks. :) They all look great. I have my machine and everything all packed and ready to go to my retreat so no sewing until Thursday for me.
|
That give us something to look forward to, CarrieM. Love your colorful blocks, JanRN.
|
QNS, I love your creativity and the little stories that go along with the block...Jan, Your blocks are soooo pretty...I love the fabrics...
|
aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh siiiiiiiiiiigh
I haven't looked at blocks for so long and WOW, these are sure purdy to see! Honchey ... great Little Piggy! love the vibrancy. QNSue ... Looks like that Piggy was playing in a mud puddle too. Great golf story. Terrific fussy cuts there for the Ribbon block, and look at those eagles flying along the highway JanRN ... Those are ever so elegantly classic! Lovely indeed!!!!! |

Just made it this week, I have to start packing for my weekend retreat. Just had to get my blocks made though....I did manage to get Ribbons made without any dramas
Lovely blocks everyone, QNS I love reading your stories each week, always makes me smile. Hi QuiltE, are you back in the saddle yet:eek: Note to self, don't forget the camera on the weekend, take lots of photos to share:D |
I'm up late packin' for my retreat also. I leave in th'mornin'. I do plan on takin' my laptop but don't know if I'll git on it very much. I do plan on doin' some o' those very late PC blocks. :) Nite ya'll.
|
I will be packing tomorrow night, unfortunately there is no mobile phone (cell phone) coverage where I am going so will be out of touch for a few days.
Hope you have a wonderful time on your retreat dublb and make some progess on your PC blocks. |
MiraB ... And more of your lovelies indeed!
No, not really in the saddle ... just enjoying the view right now. Work has been and will continue to be whack-o for awhile! In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy some virtual quilting with you ladies ... and be green with envy with MiraB and DublB heading off for their retreats! MiraB ... no cell reception isn't such a bad thing ... a true retreat without electronic leashes!!!!!!!! :) ENJOY your getaways ladies! :) |

Wednesday with all the new blocks...I love it! Honchey, great way to corral the piggy with some goodies to eat. QNSue, and then your "raisins" for the golfers...how do you think up your stories? Jan, what beautiful balance in your blocks and the tulip is such a nice remembrance for Anael. Mirabelle, with your fabrics, the piggy tail is completely disguised. I actually have been on a piecing binge and did this weeks blocks plus about 12 FWS blocks. I can't decide what to take on the retreat tomorrow but I cased the shop last Thursday and there is some fabric there that I need for DGS's quilt so that is probably what I will work on. I should be quilting....[ATTACH=CONFIG]362210[/ATTACH] My ribbons are a little wonky. Oh well, y seams conquered me this time.
|
Wow such gorgeous blocks!
Jan, thanks so much, my own block :D :D That's so lovely, now you will remember me for ever :D I have nothing to show as I didn't do these blocks (yet). I still don't know if I will make them all or not. |
Nice pair there GGal ... put your sashing on the Ribbons, and all will be hidden! Here's to a great retreat ... me-thinks this is the one with CarrieM and Jenniky?
|
Yay, Ggal---you did the y seams. And you did them well. Love both your blocks and color combos.
|
Mirabelle--pretty blocks.
QE--Yes, the retreat Ggal is going to is the one I am leaving for tonight. It doesn't actually start until tomorrow evening, but we wanted to do some shop hopping before check-in. Crystal and I are driving over together. Ggal--You have made some great progress this week! Looking forward to meeting you too. :) School is done for the week...since I'll be gone. Kids are pretty happy about that. We'll have some catch up to do next week...great thing about homeschooling! |
Yes ... I bet the kids like to see Mom head off to retreats!!!!!!! :)
Do you leave them homework? Mean Mommy!! :D |
Oh oh oh this little piggy went to market......or whatever. Sweet blocks-all very striking. No blocks again this week--yet
|
Mirab, how did I miss your blocks? They are lovely--too pretty to call it a pig's tail.
Have fun at the retreat all of yinz!! |

Remember I told in another Pony thread I was going to donate some quilts to a Day Care Centre? I got some pictures today and I would love to share them with you. Each of the ladies has picked the quilt she likes most and they all are very happy with them as you can see ;)
|
Wonderful. You can see how each treasures your gift...and that's what our gifted is all about!! Lovely quilts, quite colorful, and it will brighten up their life.
|
Bless you, Anael. You have certainly brightened the lives of your quilt recipients. After spending the past few months at a rehab facility/nursing home before my mother passed, I know how important that can be. I'm sure they absolutely love them.
|
Awww Anael what precious photos these are! You made those people so happy! What a wonderful gift!
|
Oh thanks for sharing the photos! How lovely to see the gift with the recipient.

Here are my blocks for this week.

Beautiful blocks JeanieG, love your FC horses
Anael your quilts are beautiful, what a wonderful thing to do, I am sure the recipients were happy with their quilts, bless you |
Anael...you are so thoughtful and the people look so happy with your quilts.
Jeanie..I like your blocks. Both the horse and geese look content with their surroundings. |
JeanieG, it's so nice to see the fabrics shared between us...I can just imagine the geese chasing the piggies...
|
Anael--those people look VERY happy with their new quilts. What a great idea to help provide so many!!
Jeanie--your blocks look great. Love the orange...been drawn to orange fabrics a lot here lately. :) |
Oh the gaggle of geese! At first thought it was a QNS block.:) Color combos are spot on.
|
Great looking blocks everyone. I still can't find my way into the sewing room.
|
We miss your blocks Termi, hope you can get into that sewing room real soon!
|
~~~BEAUTIFUL~~~ blocks this week ladies :D
|
JeanieG ... now that's one fun block in the Pig Pen! Great use of the geese!!
And the horses amdist the ribbons make for a beautiful block too! Anael ... The photos brought tears to my eyes. Bless you for your sharing and caring for those folks. And oh so nice that photos were sent to you as memories! |

JeanieG ... I went to find that same goose fabric today for a different block ... and where oh where is it? Not where it's supposed to be! :D
Four Little Piggy Tails here ... and one Pig ... now how could that be? As the Missouri Bluebird watches on! [ATTACH=CONFIG]399288[/ATTACH] Bossie and Miss Kitty joins the Horse .... [ATTACH=CONFIG]399289[/ATTACH] And being that we watched QNSue's Chicks grow last summer, they needed a block. I think she needs a Lambykins this year on her farm. And a Scotty Dog, somewhat misplaced on a farm!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]399290[/ATTACH] |
Oh, QE, your blocks make me smile. I love them. You did such a good job on those animal blocks; I know they're not the easiest blocks to make. These will really add so much fun and color to your PC quilt.
|
Oh, QE! Your quilt is gonna be just too fun (& beautiful!!)
|
Thanks Ladies!
JanRN ... they weren't that hard to do ... just paint by numbers and follow the dot! The bird did require some patience ... for those itty-bitty toes, legs and feathers. It's the 2nd cow I made. The first wasn't as good a looking holstein as this ol' dairy farmer likes, so I re-worked the pattern. |
All those animals are sew cute, QuiltE. What a lot of work, but so worth while!
