Well back again!  It took me two days to get my block done.  I will be posting it now.  Hope you will enjoy making it.  I know I did.  I love ladybugs.  I am also going to post a tutorial I made on how I prepare the ladybug for a block.  Here goes the design first:

Here is your pattern, week 5:

I hope you enjoy making this block.  I am going to tie all these files together, I promise!

Block 4 Kitty Cat

I worked on the kitty cat block and was able to make the kitties look a lot better:  I used a gray batik and I like the way his block came out:

The yellow kitty looks better too:

I embroidered some of the features on the ladybug block and it is looking better also:

I will be back later with more, just had to get this new block posted as promised on the day I promised!

Pattern #3 Boot Scoot Dancers

As promised Pattern of the Week, Boot Scoot Dancers:

I am so proud of them.  I love Sue and Sam and this is so cute to me!  They are dancing
to the Boot Scoot Boogie.

Sam has 10 pieces in his pattern and Sue has eight.  Here is your pattern:

I hope you will enjoy this, I enjoyed making it.

Well, I will be back with more stuff, next week.  I think I will change my upload day to Monday.  That way hopefully all will be done and on the site.  I really don't know why I picked Wednesday,  I guess that's because it occurred to me to do this on a Wednesday.  It never has worked out to do that after the first time.

Ta Ta!

Late posting Pattern of the week

I am so sorry, I had the pattern laying on a chair in the sewing room and it has been misplaced.  Hope to find it today and get it online.  It is the bootscoot Sue and Sam.  Bear with me.

Block 2 a simple Bird

Well, here I am back again.  I have wanted to get this blog up and running again and thanks to my husband's computer we have something to work with.

This is the pattern for you for week two.  It is simple and it makes such a cute block.  Here is my block example:

I think this will make a cute quilt if you add some flowers, maybe a tree, etc.

Now I want to show you the simple nine-patch from the ladybug project:

Now that I am back on schedule and a little ahead of you I have this week's pattern:

Also I finished the block for this kitty today:

I'm a little unhappy that the eyes did not come out as planned, but the next block I do will be better.
The point is I am learning from my mistakes.

I hope this blog will be helpful to any beginners out there.  The sky is the limit, anyone can draw and make their own patterns.  Some will be a lot better than others.  I hope to offer encouragement and a sense of accomplishment to the new sewer or quilter.

Will be back with you next time I feel so glad I am caught up!

Due to a lot of thunderstorm activity I have not had a computer to use for the past few days.  We managed to get the dinasaur up and running so I have this way to communicate.  I didn't even get to do the blog yet for the new block.  We had no electricity either!  Anyway all is well and I am going to do the blog shortly,  Stay tuned for more details!
