Hi Ev 1, have been working on my blocks and love making them I especially like the Goshen star and Depression block and have started a scrappy quilt from the Depression block. I have some blocks done and thought I would share them here.

And some more

Great work on all those blocks Deb your Goshen Star looks just like mine. :D

yes Loretta it is!!!

Ladies update on Secret Santa

I will draw names in the next 2 weeks and let you know who is your pal. Deadline to mail your gift is December 3rd and on the 14th we open our gift go on chat around 4pm central time and then post under under our own thread. Any other questions?


Santa Claus is coming to your town real soon!!!!!!

Sooooooooooooooooooooyou better watch out................!!!!!!!

This is my Hunters Block for Dreammixer. I hope the color is alright for you. This is my very first foray into paper piecing and it is the hardest thing I have ever done. I think the angles made it so confusing! I probably should have learned paper piecing on something else. Anyway, here it is. I won't tell you how much material I wasted on mistakes or how many times I had to buy new stuff!! It was a learning experience for me. :thumbup: :shock: :hunf:

forgot the picture again!!

I'll try again :oops:

That is beautiful and looks very HARD. Great job bettlove.

Great job, Bett, I sure hope that I can do that well. Haven't attempted that one yet. I'll admit I'm intimidated by paper piecing. Wish I could watch someone do that block.

ddrobins1956,
I love my block! I am getting really excited about making my quilt!
I have all my fabrics, washed & ironed for all the blocks & have started cutting pieces. I am antsy to start sewing but I have 2 dozen people coming next Sunday for pumpkin carving & have to wait to sew until after that.

Everyone,
All of the blocks look great! I have saved all the photos & sorted them into folders for each block, everyone has done such nice work!!
Jo

Can't wait for time to work on the blocks, after the wedding in Aug, I have had baby showers to attend( and make things), my mother-in-law passed away, and I am helping my son and dil paint in their house because their baby is due in 3 weeks. I love all the blocks that people have made so far. Hope mine are as nice. I love to be surprised.

Deb, I love all the blocks you made and would be very happy to get any of those!

Bettlove, I love the block you made. I was thinking about maybe doing that for the blue/white star challenge...maybe not after you said how hard it was. I don't have much experience with PP either. :wink:

My eye is on the email for the Santa list bebe!!

Sandpat, don't pass on it because it may be hard. I learned alot, even tho I got real frustrated.

Bettlove, I normally don't...its a long time problem with me. I always pick something very challenging when I'm trying to learn to do something..then I'm so stubborn...I never give up until I get it mastered :wink: I guess I just like the "torture learning method"! :lol:

Thanks bebe..........I've already been shopping :lol: :lol:

Thanks bebe I'll be ready am so excited this will be fun

ah, another reason to shop. I'm in heaven. :)

Hi, everyone. I know I've been absent for some time, but I just wanted to stop in and let you know I have been working on blocks.

I'm up to date.

I'm posting the "Annie's Choice" blocks that Dazzleme and Sand Pat requested.

Dazzleme, you wanted black and white or gray and white. I hope I gave you the best of both worlds. (I hope you like it.)

Sand Pat, when you say, "any color with white," you run the risk of getting this: (I hope you like it.)

Bebe, I received your e-mail about our pal, but I'm having internet problems and I don't know where it is.

And, I don't know if I provided a wish list. I've been absent from some time due to heavy workload in my job and unreliable internet.

Can you e-mail me again? I'll need to provide a wish list, I think too.

Thanks.

Annmarie, I had a chance to skim through previous pages and found the bambury cross block you made for me and I LOVE it. Thank you so much. I love the firery color you chose.

Thanks again.

I apologize for being absent. I've completed six blocks. I have two more I'm going to do next weekend.

Cordelia, thank you soo much for my block! I think it is beee uuuutiiiiful!!

I was finally able to work on my blocks this weekend and finished 6 blocks. What fun!
Here are the first three.
Jo

And here are the rest.
Jo

I'm not sure why but the Wildcat Block's colors are a bit off, the rest are pretty close to the actual block.
I hope you like them, but let me know if the colors/fabrics aren't what you had in mind.
Jo

Love my Hayes Corners!

I guess I better hunt down the camera and take off the pics of the ones I have done. Another thing to add to the "to do" list.

Barb

Beautiful job on the blocks joannl!

Here is the houswife block for CCBear. Hope you like it.

I love it. Thanks so much. I can't wait to get my blocks. I still need to get busy on mine.

Oh Bettlove, that block is really pretty!

Ok..finished this one today..just 2 more to go

Sandpat:

That is really pretty!

Sandpat & Bettlove,
Those are really pretty blocks. I am so glad I signed up for this project, everyone has done such a nice job making the blocks.
