I downloaded and printed the second template from Robin.  On my printed page, the quarter circles are the correct dimensions. The first block I made, I scooted the blade set to where they hit near the 6 inch line like Barbara’s, then trimmed my block after sewing them down.  I didn’t feel good about it, so I didn’t want to waste my quarter circle by sewing it down.  After trimming I knew it was wrong because I had to trim too...

I sent all three of my block envelopes out today to the winners of the Split 9 patch blocks.

  Nine barn door blocks for me!  I think this is a really cute block…and I love...

Hello everyone! It’s been a LONG time, so I sure I hope I remember how to do this! I was playing around with the woven blocks I won a while back and decided to take a look at this month’s blocks….not a minute too soon! I got busy and have 9 to enter for this month.

Received a few more Easy X blocks since my last post… 4 from Debbie M 3 from Julie W. 3 from Pat K. and a sweet ornament that I promptly hung on my tree! 3 from Charlene and a piece of fabric for my stash Thank you ladies!  In my last post I mentioned trying to finish orders and I’m glad to report I made it with 2 days to spare…whew! Merry Christmas!

I have a small quilt business, specializing in t-shirt quilts and memory type items (hope that’s ok to post), so Christmas and Graduation are my busiest times of year.  And THIS year?  What?!  Customers actually ordered early, and they didn’t stop.  I still have a handful to finish in, oh, how many days?  11!!!  I do this to myself every year…lol.  I just don’t know when to say “No.”. 🙂  So, I am a little...

I sent my blocks out (3 each) yesterday to Elizabeth, Jen and Julie.  I have also received 2 from Robin and 2 from Jude.  Thank you!

I received blocks from Karen, Laurina and Charlene.  They are all wonderful!  I so enjoy all the little notes that are included.

Received 3 Woven Bars Blocks from Maree in New Zealand today!  This has been so much fun, getting mail from all over, instead of bills! 🙂

I received 4 Woven Bars blocks from Blue Earth, MN today.  Thank you so much for the fun postcard!   Nancy
