Block #1 of Blockheads 3 - - - What a Week!!!!

First,
since it's way past Friday

lets announce the winner of the 

Blockheads book.

It's Katherine who said 

she always loved sampler quilts

so Blockheads was right up her alley.

Katherine if you will email your snailmail

address to Tammie at janpatekquiltsinc@gmail.com

she will send your book to you.

Next
last weekend with
Cullen and Quinn.
Quinn as usual spent the
weekend in front of the computer.
He is our beloved computer nerd.
Cullen spent part of his time outside
taking pictures.

Dobby, our Corgi,  had to help Jeff 

blade the drive with the Kubota.

Jeff couldn't have managed without him.

Cullen took the pictures of the birds 

through the kitchen window.

I just love my cardinals and
the little Snowbirds (Juncos)

Now at long last,
Corey's block-

Star Chain  

She said that it incorporates 2 of her

favorite themes in quilting

Stars and Irish Chains.

I used a dark purple and medium green 

from my latest fabric line

Clover Meadow as well as the ivory solid.

You can get the pattern to make your block from

her blog by clicking here
I can't wait to see hers and yours.
This is going to be a fun quilt.

Did you ever have a week where everything

seemed to go wrong?

Well, I just had one.

First, my graphics program quit working.

No problem, I'll just call Adobe and they'll fix it

it's happened before.  Only this time

our internet (which is always slow - 

we live in the country - way off the information

highway) got even slower and eventually quit

working at all.  At the moment I'm using the hotspot

on Pep's phone which will work for something

small like my blog but not for downloading
a big graphics program. 

And, it being the first of the year, I'm not only working

on Blockheads 3 but also on my 12 month Mystery

Quilt for 2020.  Only right now I'm not working on it - 

I can't even print out my pattern pages.

So Adobe just called me back and we spent an hour
trying to download my program and didn't get
it done.  Tomorrow morning I have to take Pep
to Kansas City to see his lung doctor for a check up.
Then tomorrow afternoon Adobe will call and
we'll try again.
I just love things I have no control over --- NOT!!!

Next thing to go wrong was my
Deal of the Week.
It's 20% off the Cardinal  Mini
from Blockheads 1. The price includes
the little hanger.  The picture won't load.
It says the URL is wrong and it doesn't come
from an url.
Anyway, here's the jpg and you can
get it at the sale price
by clicking here.

I think I'll go shut up my chickens for the night.
That I can control.

I really like the new Mystery Quilt -----
It's called Susanne's Snowmen.
  I'll keep you posted.
