Not only did you do good by posting the pictures - the blocks are gorgeous!

My sentiments exactly.

One was Sturgis at the LQS there, which I will check. BUT beings the "70th" "Sturgis Motorcycle Rally" is in full swing and we are bombarded with Motorcycles it will be sometime towards the end of next week before I will attempt a fabric search up there. The other place is "Quilt Corral Too" (Mistletoe Ranch) another LQS which is about the same distance the other direction, there again it will be about the same time , when will be able to go check it. The Motorcycles are EVERYWHERE. I would love to find some more of it too. Will send a post out here when I get the two place checked.

Sorry,
To those who were interested in the white snowflake material in my Winter blocks.
Not so good news. I did find out the name of the White Snowflake Fabric I used, it is by RJR and is their Bare Essentials #7339-01. BUT it has been discontinued! I checked Ebay, and all the shops by phone in SD and know one has it.
Maybe with the name and number someone will be able to find it.

Just to give you guys a warning, my internet access is going to be a bit spastic again for a few days. If I don't respond to PMs right away don't worry I will get to them I promise.

You might try looking on etsy for the fabric also. I've found quite a few discontinued fabrics there.

All the blocks are looking great! I'm working on mine today.

My second pattern has fizzled and now my third choice is kicking my behind. I'll plug along, but not sure when I'll get them finished. and I won't if they don't look acceptable to me.

Blessings,
Ruth

Whew! My blocks are done and ready to mail.
I am new at this, I understand that we add additional for return postage what is the best way to do this? I'm sorry if this is a repeat. Do we add a big envelope for them with the postage on it or ?
Here are my blocks:

I have been inspired! Since starting these I have seen some more darling winter snowmen fabric(they are my favorite) so now are called to make more blocks,maybe a table runner or who know what is in store to be made. What fun this has been!

Nice blocks. I got my fabric the other day to do these blocks but I'm taking my poor machine into the shop today for a little R&R (repair and relaxation). She has been working so hard lately with all these swaps and stuff. I've been having tension problems for a while and decided it's time to get her fixed. As soon as she's back next week, these blocks are at the top of my list to get done.
