Corrine, your blocks arrived earlier this week, I just forgot to post about it.  Thanks so much!

Thank you to Andra, Kim, Krista, Shannan and Vicki – your blocks have all arrived safely.  I cant believe there are so many yummy fabrics that I have never seen! I am making myself get rid of a few UFOs while I wait for Gwen’s package,  and then I will allow myself to play with these lovely blocks.  Thank you to all, and I wish everyone on BL a very happy New Year Bentawww.SLIKstitches.com

You all are pretty great at keeping secrets. I will sit down and read all the cards and notes after I post this (and I promise better photos soon, too), but I had to let you know that your wonderful gift arrived. I had no idea what could be waiting for me at the post office.  The clerk suggested I had a “secret admirer”.  If ONLY he knew what was inside the box. The cats are VERY excited about the new quilt, too. Johnny was ready to...

This is a slightly modified version of a block I found on the funquilts.com site, called Eclipse which will be our January 2012 lotto block. We’re changing the directions to make a smaller block (9 1/2 inches, to finish in the quilt at 9 inches). The two challenges you may find in this block are working with templates and sewing curves. You can download the directions for the Eclipse quilt from the free patterns at the bottom of this...

The hearts were won in February, the flowers are made from the violet flower block last summer. I love the way they work together. I have more hearts! I am making a sister quilt like this one, only a little different. I am really looking forward to a January block. Julie P....

Thanks to everyone and happy sewing....

I fell in love with the Violet Blocks in August, so when my daughter asked for a flower quilt, I was eager to get started!  Now that I have finished some high priority projects, I am having fun with violets again. I decided to use 3 sizes: 12 inch, 8 inch and 4 inch.  Kendra helped pick out a variety of fabrics.  I have the large ones done, and below are the tiny pieces for the small ones. Merry Christmas!
