Block #19

Compass Point

Its finally Spring in Missouri and

Grandma's iris are in full bloom.

There are beds of them scattered

through the garden - 

"Audra'a Iris Garden".

And in keeping with living in the country

we have not only flowers (food for the

eyes and the soul), but also vegetables.

Our friend Jeff doesn't have room for a 

large garden at home so we trade space 

for veggies.  

He's got the garden tilled and prepped

for planting.

And while Jeff's garden grows veggies to can and freeze,

we plant smaller gardens on the deck.  

These are bags of potting soil with holes 

poked in the bottom sitting on milk

crates.  One is planted with lettuce and

one with Swiss Chard (Pep's favorite0

And, of course we can't survive without herbs, 

Rosemary, thyme, oregano and basil.

I planted the basil from seeds and it's not up yet 

but any day now!!!!

I just love Spring.

And while we're waiting for the basil to come up, 

lets go see what the others have done with

Brigette's block.

Block 18 - Bird & Urn

Block # 18

Bird & Urn 

by Jan Patek

I realize that the designer's patterns

said Block  # 19

but it was really 

Block # 18.  

The two little black circles at

the top of the block are

magnets that are holding the block in 

place so it can get it's picture taken.

And I finally figured out how to 

hold the camera so the block

actually looks square- Yay Me!!!!

To download the pattern to 

make the block click here.

If perchance you're new to my blog

and my kind of appliqué, or just need a

refresher course, click here for a tutorial

on Freezer Paper applique and here

for a tutorial on the basic appliqué stitch.

For tips on doing inside and outside 

curves (the urn, bird and tulips) 

click here, and for tips on stems 

and leaves, click here.

That should get you off 

to a good start. :)

Now lets go see that the other

ladies have done with my block.

Block #17 and a new Tablestand Quilt

Crossroads

by Betsy Chutchian

You can go to Betsy's blog 

to download the pattern

by clicking here.

It's been a wonderful week.

We have a New Tablestand Quilt Kit

1. Here's the front

1. And here's the back.

You can go to the store to buy 

 it by clicking here.

Can you tell it's Spring?????????

The weather has been gorgeous

and

Missouri is slowly opening up.

That means that I could Stay Safe

AND

get my hair done.

I'm not sure what nimnill decided

that beauty parlors weren't essential

but he was wrong.

I do quilts - not hair.

It's really hard to keep a

positive attitude when

you look like the 

Wicked Witch of the West.

:(

Hopefully that's over 

so lets go see that the other

ladies have done with Betsy's block.

Block 15

Starry Eyed

by

Corey Yoder

(those 2 little pearls are part of the 

magnet that holds the block in place

so it can get it's picture taken.) 

To get the pattern go to her blog 

by clicking here.

My oh My

What a Day!

Most of you know by now that

pieced blocks are not

my forte - Appliqued blocks are.

Soooooooooooooo

I have people that help me with the piecing.

One of those people is a nice

lady by the name of Terri Luther.

Terri lives in a very nice house 

a ways north of here.

Getting in and out on the road 

to her house can sometimes be

quite a challenge.

Unfortunately this week was one 

of the challenging times. Hopefully 

I can put up a picture next week of

the road to her house so you will

understand why this post was so late.

 Meanwhile lets go see what the others have

done with Corey's block.

Blockheads 3, Block 14

Summer Breeze

by Joanne  Figueroa

You can go to her blog to download

the pattern by clicking here.

Our Quarantine Quotidian

for the week is 

the Spring Tree Dancer Kit.

It can either be a pillow or a wallhanging

Pep is a "wordsmith" and he says that

"quotidian" means "routine" or usual 

so that's the way I'm using it.

Pep worked at  Baptist Hospital in

Kansas City, Mo where he was a supervisor in the 

Security Dept. and then at Research Hospital 

when Baptist closed.  He had to write a lot of

reports.  At one time he got a memo from his boss

saying that he could not use words with more than 

2 syllables in a report.  He then pointed out that

both "hospital" and "security" had more that 2 syllables.

On that note, lets go see what the others have

done with Fig Trees block.
