Block for Cindi

So, here in Switzerland they don't celebrate Thanksgiving, and they really don't do Halloween, either.  So finding pumpkin colored fabric meant choosing between the 3 options my fabric store had.  The "light" isn't really light, but I think overall it works.  I hope. :)

It was really fun watching this block come together.  At first, I thought, hmm, this is going to look kind of strange.  But then when I laid out the three rows, I got all excited at how cute it turned out.

Giving thanks- the block

Such a fun pattern! I hope the color values feel right to you, Cindy.

For those of you who haven't started your block- I would highly recommend chain piecing, if that's your thing. It helps speed things along.

I will get this in the mail tomorrow!

(Also, how beautiful the addressed envelope! I would love to purchase a rubber stamp with your lovely script. Do you know how to go about making something like that?)

I Spy With My Little Eye - An Owl!

Here's my little owl guy, Liz! This was fun to put together and to figure out which scraps to use.

February Ribbon Star

Yay! I made my first square! I put it all together and was ironing it and then noticed that I laid it out wrong. All wrong. And my heart sank because I was using my scraps from my yellow bin and had used them up 100% and couldn't go back and replace the two inner parallelograms on the left. I can redo it, Emily, but I'll need more squares or maybe I can find the same gray and white at the quilt store. Such an embarrassing first start to my virtual quilting bee! I was really pleased with how it turned out though. For a beginning quilter, my corners lined up pretty good.
