Block of the Month -

Hello Friends,

Here we are almost done with this year’s BOM class – This was my first BOM class (but not my last) - taught by Sandy at Close to Home - this one is the Mojito Sampler.  It's a typical modern quilt, the blocks have fewer pieces making it ideal for beginner quilters.  It's also a nice way to learn the basic quilting techniques. Sandy teaches you the different rulers and cutting tricks, making it fun and easy to do.

I can see a difference in my first few blocks, when I started...

Here they are:

 This one below is block 10

Farewell to Sandy

Hello Friends, 

What a busy week this week for us quilter girls…  Our longarm handi-quilter teacher is moving to Florida - she will be "sew" missed.  We decided to throw her a farewell party and make her a nice little gift.  We all got together and made this beautiful shadow box…  I have to say “we did an amazing job”! Lori did an awesome job on the quilt – I just love it!!   It’s adorable!!!

 This is the back, where we all signed it!
