Ooooh a snowman!
Looking good Thimblebug - I love your fabric choices for the accessories, esp the stripey hat and scarf
Not sure how much I'll get done this weekend, but I will definitely make a start and hopefully post a pic whenever it's done

Juuuust in time for the end of September I've finished this month's block. It's been sitting around waiting to be stitched down for the past 2 weeks and I only today managed to get to it. Happy with the result though.
I am loving this BOM and looking forward to seeing what October has to offer

Look forward to seeing them as you progress! Doing them all at one time might be fun, you wouldn't have to pull the fabrics each month.

Attached will hopefully be my October Ice Fisher Penguin....
Oh this block has been a challenge for me. I've had difficulty getting something together that I liked for the hat/bowtie/gloves (I have a boxful of scraps, you wouldn't have thought it would be that hard!), then had to re-cut several pieces, then had to rip out at least some of the stitching on *every**single**colour* of thread that I used for the applique (except the pink for the cheeks, lol), lost the block in my sewing room for a while, found it, did the embroidery... and then the dang picture wouldn't load.
I have not had this much trouble (entirely self-generated, lol!) with a block for a long time!!
But my son likes it (he told me) and I like it, and it's finished, and this is going to be such a cute quilt!!!
Carly - when you get the chance to work on it I'm sure you'll love it (ignore my rant above, it was in no way the pattern's fault - entirely user error!
)
Thimblebug - that is one gorgeous penguin
Looking forward to the next 2...
