Happy Blockheads 4 Wednesday

Block #24 - Outtakes 
by Vanessa Christenson  


You can go to her blog To download 
this really neat block by
clicking here


Its still August so we don't have a new 
Vintage Book yet but we will next time and
 I've already picked one of my favorites 
for September.

September has always been one of my favorite
months because my birthday is in 
September.  I was a lot fonder of birthdays when
I was younger but I guess it's good to keep
having them.  - Better than the alternative, 
at least.  :)

We do have a pattern on sale this week
however and it's on of my favorites too -
It the BOM for Cabin in the Pines 


We're moving into the months where staying
inside and quilting is a really good idea and
this should keep you busy for awhile.  If
you're already made it for yourself it will
be an awesome Christmas present for someone.
You can go to the store to get your copy
by clicking here.

And speaking of presents, I got myself an early
birthdays present yesterday.  After a lot of
work and some good advice from my grandson Jake
I finally got rid of the algae in my aquarium.  
To celebrate I treated myself to some new fish.


The orange one is an Oranda named Annie,
the black one is a Black Moor named Google
 and the brown one is an AlgaeEater named
Anchovy.   See how nice and 
clear the water is...........Yay!!!

I'm going to eat and watch my fish swim but
while I do that why don't you go see what the 
others have done with Vanessa's block.

Happy Blockheads 4 Wednesday

Block #22

Gentleman's Fancy

by Brenda Riddle 

 


You can go to her blog to
download the pattern by 
clicking here

I don't have much to show you this week  because 
I've been busy designing quilts and I don't have 
the patterns of kits ready yet.  (I could blame
Tammy because she took a personal day today
but she does too much hard work for me to say
anything even slightly negative.

Besides designing quilts out of 2 of Deb Strain's
lines (One is Ghostly Greeting) and I'll try to
have it ready to show you next week),



I've been playing with my fish.
This is my new Betta fish.  The tank
has a divider so you can keep 2 in it
so they will show off their pretty fins.
Red here shows off his fins quite well so
he gets the whole tank.  I love to watch him swim. 


These are my red and Sunburst platys and
they are very tame.  As soon as they see me come
in the room they swim to the front and top of
the 5 gallon tank to be fed.


And this is my 20 gallon problem tank.
Grandson Jake has been trying to help me get rid
of the algae but so far we're not there.
Aaaargh!!!

Back to quilting.

Our BOM pattern on sale this week is

Fall Festival.

You can go to the store to get your copy

by clicking here



Now,  lets
go see what the other ladies have 
done with Brenda's block


Have a great week.

Happy Blockheads 4 Wednesday


Block #22 
by Sherri Mc Connell


You can go to her blog to

download the pattern

by clicking here.

Today it cooled off and it was a

welcome relief after the last few

days which were good ole Missouri August

hot days.  Luckily I've spent most of the

really hot days inside designing quilts -

after all Halloween is coming soon.

I'm 77 now and pretty well retired from

designing fabric.  When Linda and I started

designing, she said it wasn't worth going to

Quilt Market unless you had at least 6 new

patterns.  And its not fair to Moda not to do enough

to support a line so I lean on a couple of fellow

designers to use their lines so I can still deign a

quilt or two.  This time 

I've really enjoyed using 2 lines by my

friend Deb Strain.

1.  Ghostly Greetings

and

2.  Harvest Wishes

I'm sure you can guess which line I used for

my Halloween quilt.  It should be ready soon

and we'll have kits too.

Meantime I have to show you the jpg I got today

from Betty Kathryn Basile.


She wasn't able to get a picture of the entire quilt
even after climbing a ladder so I'll show you mine
but I wish you could get the picture clear enough to
see her work.  It's awesome!!!
Thank you so much Betty.


I can't believe it's been over 25 years since I made
the quilt but since Pep and I have been married now 
for over 50 years and I made that to celebrate our
25th anniversary, it has been.  How time flies 
when you're enjoying life and quilting.

So this week we're putting the pattern for the
Anniversary Quilt on sale.  You can go to the store to
get your copy by clicking here.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Now,  lets
go see what the other ladies have 
done with Sherri's block


Have a great week.

Happy Blockheads 4 Wednesday

Block #21
Shiney Bauble
by Janet Clare


You can go to her blog
to download the pattern
by clicking here


My 20 gallon fish tank got here and Google 
(the black fish) now has room for a friend.  
Her name is Annie because she's an Oranda
(at least I think she's a she :)


These two are Gage and Hunter (Jeff's grandsons)
who I gave my old aquarium to.  


They went down to the creek and caught fish

                                                  for their aquarium.  They said there are 23 in all, 

                                                  a mixture of bluegill, catfish and minnows. 

             

And of course they couldn't stop there.
They made a small terrarium for the frogs
they caught.  They farm is kind of "hog
heaven" for little boys. :)

Below are reader's quilts - 
first by Norma Whaley


and then this awesome storage bucket
by Susanne Steil


And this is one of the quilts from 1 of the
Folk Art Favorites - our vintage books
on sale this month for 12.00 instead of
$14.95


Our sale item this week is the patterns
for the Flock Party BOM.  It's August and 
before you know it Thanksgiving and
Christmas will be rolling around.



But before we start fretting about that, lets
go see what the other ladies have 
done with Janet's block


Have a great week.
