Good morning! We've got a wicked thunderstorm. Was letting the dog out when a bolt of lightning must have struck nearby. Made both of us jump and we hurried in! Going to see Arthur the King tonight at a local little theatre. It's one of those dine in places but I use the word "dine" very generously. But it should be fun! Hope you all have a good day.
All my little cacti are blooming. I laugh when I say "all" because I've only got 3. Maybe you have an Easter Cactus?
Sewbiz, absolutely love your Bunny love block. I love it as is!
Hi WMUTeach. Look forward to seeing your 3 blocks.
Libster, you are a wonder of block making! I love my block. Thank you!
I haven't been to jinnybeyer in years. Better check it out today.

It's like Paul's grandmother is saying hi to us.
Libster- love my block and the others you posted, thank you!

No wonder I had trouble making the bunny fabric go far enough… Anyway, after it reached 12.5” I stopped, but it has another 2” round that makes it much prettier. Janice, let me know if you want a 16” block and I’ll finish it. Otherwise it will be 12” like this:

Beautiful home Macybaby, hope you sell quickly.
Love both of my block Macy
Ladies all the blocks are gorgeous.
I have 6 Christmas, Easter cacti. They go back and forth with us from Minnesota and Texas. Had a yellow one that bit the dust but have a white one that is blooming for the first time right now. Others are shades of pink. Seems like the pink ones are the easiest to grow.
Cheesehead I love Texas but when it’s time we have to quit traveling back and forth hubby is adamant that we live in Minnesota. Hopefully that is a decision that can be delayed for a long time

We had that same storm that Janice mentioned. It reminded me of a Stephen King movie set LOL.
Here is a block for LogCabin called Autumn Puzzle. It was harder to put together than I thought it would be but I enjoyed making it for you. Hope you like it!!! I love those parrots.

I don't know if my cactus is an Easter or Christmas, probably Easter? It's at least 50+ years old and we love having something from his grandmother.
Macybaby- that kitchen is to die for. My husband needs one like that. He's a serious cook and our kitchen is just so-so. Somehow he manages though. When we moved here he had a sunroom added but I really wish he had blown out the kitchen to have a real cook's kitchen.

Sweet birdie "spools", Sue!
We are getting rain now too, but just a shower, not a storm. It's suppossed to be on and off today. I was out for my walk when it started sprinkling on me, so I hope I get to finish my steps later in the day.

Oh how pretty, Janice!
My kitties don't seem to mind the lightning and thunder we had last night. One looked out the window and the other just slept while we watched a movie.
This is for Macybaby called Springtime. So perfect for your fabric. Hope you like it.
