Good morning, ladies, I tried to post earlier in the week and also had issues. I could get to the site and read the post, but when I hit reply I lost the site stating there was an error.

The last two are Sewbizgirl and MJ. These took the most thought process and I hope they work for you. Sewbizgirl is called the Page from the Photo album and MJ is The Owls or sitting here sewing it, I think it looks like hot cocoa with marshmallows and steam on top!
Beautiful blocks

Poor lighting but.....what ever! A better photo when "really" finished.
I loved working with two color blocks and they make stunning quilt.

This is a beautiful reminder of a sweet quilty friend.

I have the Juki 2010 and the grace small quilting frame. I love my set up.

I spent the rainy days making mug rugs and pot holders for Xmas gifts. The African pot holders are for us, as my Day of the Dead ones got Burned. I’m trying not to out live my fabric but I think its hopeless. Several older quilters gave me their stash when they moved into nursing homes. I gave a lot away when we made masks in the pandemic but I still have a lot left.
Any way these are what I made: 10 mug rugs and 9 pot holders. I didn’t include the duplicates. A good rainy day project that took me almost 3 days. I don’t know how y’all sew so fast.
Beautiful small projects. I love to give a mug rug with some special tea as gifts.

Her Normal Rockwell block is the second block and it is based on something I saw in Quilter's Cache as a way to frame things up but I changed the pattern to something less complicated for me. I auditioned lots of options and I am sending back a bunch of those to you in case you want them. I love the picture frame that others created using the faces from this fabric.

Nelco gets a very patriotic one based on one of the patriotic blocks I received from a boom a while ago, MJPEncintas gets a modern rendition for her upcoming award winning quilt with Theo, LStew, gets a Thanksgiving D9P, Janice McC gets a D9P, and Janice McC gets a Star Check for her blue batik.

Ibex, these blocks are great, I see both of mine and they are stunning. Thank you very much. Wonderful way to finish up.
