Anyone one who makes one, just send it on to Lori.

When I have time to catch my breath, I think I am going to start a prayer quilt thread. Gotta think about how it will work ...

Went to a quilter's gathering today & found some gorgeous FQ's for my Marty block. Hopefully it will be in the mail on Tuesday... no mail Monday, I don't believe. Excited to put it together!

Finally, It is chilly, rainy and time for some Chili. It's October!!!

Beautiful block! And HOLY MACKEREL! I didn't realize the last photo was your chili. I thought it was some sort of embellishment resembling ... well, never mind. WHEW!!! :lol:

HAHA!

You sent a perty block out. Loved the embroidery!

Ok I need some help. I'm getting ready to try satin stitching on my block. What I am wondering is should I it with the batting and backing all together, or just do the block it's self and then make the sandwich?
