Oh Happy Day!!



:-)) I finished my string blocks!! Whoohoo! I know you are getting tired hearing about them because I am getting tired doing them! LOL This time I made 80 blocks for 16 participants... and I think I need a rest from them for a bit now. ;-)) Of course, once my blocks start rolling in, I may 'fall in love' all over again. LOL :-) They are easy to do and the different color combo's were fun to put together, but I'm happy to be mailing them off. ;-) See my rotating cutting matt there? It was perfect for trimming up the blocks! :-)




Next up is to finish my red/white blocks and then I'm going to get caught up on a few BOM's. ;-) There is always something to do!! ;-)




While I was looking for some of the string colors, I came across this mini quilt I made a few years ago. It is 6 3/4 inches square. The center part is 4 inches, and has 64 HST's that are 1/2 inch each... what was I thinking??!! :-o LOL It was not paper-pieced! Yikes. :-) I doubt very much I would attempt anything like it now... ;-)


Until next time~


Happy Stitchin'!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
