Chicklets
Circus (love, love, love this block)


Chocolate Box
1880's Sampler Block 17 Red Cross Variation

These HST's are tiny! 1/4" finished.


Civil War Block 17--Comfort Quilt


Last but certainly not least, the mail brought these goodies today.  A week ago, Elisa, of Postpartum Quilting offered some items she was no longer using to anyone who asked for them.  I had spent that morning complaining about the fact my 6 1/2" ruler had become worn down in the one corner I always use, and with two quilters in the family my rotary cutter is frequently in the wrong place (actually I had two, but one broke).  Not only did Elisa generously send both items to me, but included a lovely origami crane, the Japanese symbol for good health, long life, fidelity and prosperity.  I would like all of those!  Thank you so much, Elisa.


Happy Easter to all.

I am loving your Dutch Treat blocks and I'm curious about how they are done. Could you show a few pictures of one in progress?

Thanks so much, Terri in BC

Thanks for the mention and link, Mary! I'm glad you liked the origami crane, too. I cannot believe the HSTs in your 1880s sampler are only 1/4"!! That is amazing-- no room for error there! Again, happy Easter and enjoy using your new tools!

I especially love the 1880s block. I like the use of the dark small floral fabric.
