Welcome to December!    I am Karen N and I live in the suburbs of Cape Town in South Africa.  This month we are making a fairly simple star block.   I am very glad that I had the last month of the year, although Nann’s block is a hard act to follow!    The block finishes at 6-inches square, in either scrappy blues or scrappy purples.  You may make up to 9 blocks for the drawing. You will find the pdf pattern this link:  Dec2018 Block...

My three Halloween blocks were mailed to Karen B at the post office yesterday.  Should be there in 10-15 days.  Karen N, South Africa.

Here are my three blocks, for donation.   I had no Halloweeny  fabric, it’s not really a thing in South Africa, but at a local mini quilt festival last week I found one piece of fabric (out of a dozen vendors!) that I thought would be fine.  They sewed up quickly!  I think I will use these dimensions in future blocks.  Karen N in Cape...

I was away this week and was pleasantly surprised to find two envelopes waiting at home on my return.  Two blocks each from Mary S and Cathy L, thank you ladies!  Karen N, South Africa.

In the past week I have received Noon Light blocks from Angie N, Barbara P, Linda N and Kathleen T … thank you so much ladies, they are all beautiful!   I guess our incoming postal system is starting to move again as these were all mailed in early May! And yesterday I managed to get to the post office to say goodbye to my Californian Poppies being mailed off to Nann. Karen N in Cape Town, where it is cool but the sun is shining now, and...

Almost missed the deadline!  I have made three Californian Poppy Blocks, and they are for donation.   From time to time this month I kept looking at the list of blocks made, each time wondering why my three were not there, and then I remembered I still had to photograph them, and write a post…but me being at work, and the blocks at home, that was a problem.  And then kept forgetting to take the picture – lesson learnt, take the...

My Red Forest blocks are in the envelopes (and that’s what seems to take the most time!), will take them to the post office in the morning.  Will take to 4 weeks to reach Su and Sharon.  Karen N in Cape Town (at the bottom of Africa!)

I have been anxiously checking my post-box daily for the past three months, and I am sorry to report that our postal system seems to have slowed down to almost a standstill.   The last envelope in was on 19 June….. Yesterday I was happily surprised to get a sixth envelope with blocks, thank-you Kathy S! I have now received blocks from: Cathy K, Christa, Kathy S, Linda E, Peggy M and Robin. To Angie, Barbara P, Cathy L, Kathleen, Linda N,...

These blocks were how I like to make blocks – big and trim!   I was also blown away by the fact that the triangles are perfectly equilateral!  All that with no templates – yay!  Thank you to Deana for the very-easy-to-follow pattern.  My six for donation this month.  Karen N in Cape...
