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.

Block #22

Gentleman's Fancy

by Brenda Riddle

download the pattern by

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.

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.

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.
