Hav4boys The car block is for you. I opened the quilt magazine I subscribe to and there was the pattern for this car!
The Josephine Baker block is for Nelco. I know she may not have danced at the Moulin Rouge but she was one of the first of these type of dancers in Paris. DH drew Josephine for me. my partner in this swap has run into some problems. I miss her on the tennis court too. Hopefully she’ll be back in sewing and tennis shape. I’m going to keep churning out blocks. When she returns we ‘ ll finish the rest together. |

MJP -- your applique is always gorgeous! Your eye for color is really good, too. Are you a quilt instructor ever for applique?
Those two blocks allowed a wide latitude in color. I especially like working with color and Terriamn is open to everything! wouldn’t it be fun to have a boom quilt retreat where we all teach our favorite method? The next two blocks are repeats of ones I’ve done before The Uncle Sam’s hat block is for Klaws. I’d like to hand embroider a few white stars on the flag. However this probably isn’t a good idea if you’ll send the quilt out or do it yourself in an all over longarm pattern. Let me know Klaws The Elf feet block is for Marcialee |
mjpEncinitas, thank you for my beautiful block.

Love the blocks, AHWU and MJPEncinitas! So pretty!

Good morning, Zinnias. I'm back home after another long drive yesterday. 1,700 miles round trip. Oh, my aching fanny! I'm off to add your pix to the gallery. Lots of gorgeous blocks have shown up in the last week or so. Great job, ladies! Two things, please try to remember to shrink your photos whenever possible to 200 kb or smaller and be sure to post the name of the person for whom you made the block. It makes it easier for me to transfer them correctly to the gallery.
I'm off. Will catch up on all the posts shortly! |
What wonderful blocks everyone has posted. MJP Your applique is fantastic. I especially love my Uncle Sam block. I won't be sending it out to a longarm so if you want to put some stars on the flag, that would be great. Thank you so much!

It is now at least 3-4 days that I have had a block sitting cut and partially sewn on my cutting board. Most of my time has been spent caring for DH or at the Nursing home with my mother. She is now officially in Hospice care and everyday she is changing substantially. My sister and I are doing everything we can to keep the drama down. There is a problem with a friend of mom's that was hopefully resolved yesterday. My sister and I are taking turns being there.
My plan today is to stay home and attend to DH and finish up at least one block. Thank you all for the words of encouragement that have been sent. Now onto sewing! |

I love your block for Ahwu. I've never worked with diamond shapes more than once or twice years ago. Do you paper piece it?

Wonder how many miles I've walked back-n-forth up the driveway to our RV to get ready for our trip?...

Good morning Zinnias,
Home from our sail trip, it was great! We could have used a little more wind (can't believe a Wyoming girl wants wind) and a newer boat, but it was so amazing to be out and about again! My bf loved it also, so maybe my dream of living on a sailboat is back to being more of a reality! Beautiful - and super fancy- blocks everyone! I'm looking forward to getting started on mine this week - finally! Thank you all for being such beautiful people, I could not wait to get home and see what you all were up to! Friendship is a glorious thing.
