60 blocks! & Superstitions~


As I was bagging up the 18 My Blue Heaven blocks (from QuiltersCache) I will be sending to Bonnie with her Jewel Box blocks~ I just couldn't help but look thru my little stack of blocks. We have now swapped 30 blocks, which leaves us each with 60 blocks!! :-o My goodness that went fast! I can't believe we've each done 60 already! I guess we will soon need to be figuring out how many we want in our quilts. It is kind of addicting making these blocks LOL! :-) That is what a stack of 60 blocks looks like~ Bonnie, yours will be in your hot little hands soon! :-))
Now for the second part of my title~ I broke my hand mirror this morning! :-( It slipped right out of my fingers onto the tile floor~ splinters galore! ;-) My first thought was 'oh no! I don't need 7 years of bad luck!!' ;-) Have you heard of that superstition? I can't remember ever breaking a mirror before, so I guess this will be my test. ;-) Do you have any superstitious sayings that come to mind when things happen? How about when your ears ring? or your nose itches? or you drop a knife? ..or is that a fork? ;-) LOL Lots of things get dropped in my kitchen, I hope there isn't a saying for every one. :-)
I'm off to play a bit~ 60 blocks are just begging for me to play with them!! :-))
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

If your nose itches - company's coming! I think if your nose itches, it's probably allergies and you need to quilt more!

60 blocks...that is quite an accomplishment!

Let's see....if your hands itch, you are coming into money. If your ears ring, someone is talking about you. It's bad luck to spill salt unless you throw a pinch over your shoulder. Step on a crack and you'll break your mother's back...and on and on. Hope you don't have seven years of bad luck.

Oh what a sweet little pile of blocks. I always say "were your ears ringing" when i am talking about someone and they show up!!

the only one I stick to is: "Always have a penny in your purse. It gets lonely and soon you'll have more money!!" Grandma would tell me that, and you know what - it works!! ;-)

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...
