A4 Courtney's Stethoscope SAMPLE







Measure many times before you square up!  The inner part was supposed to be squared to 4.5 inches.  Actual cut was 4.5 X 4 inches.   OMGoodness   I taped it to the wall and FUSSED and FUSSED.  I did not want to remake this block since I had been playing with it all afternoon.  REDO:  square to 3.75 inches, increase outer strips.  Not exactly pattern but it works, thankfully!

A3 Hunter's Moon SAMPLE







Looks good from a distance BUT ... since I am not a hand applique person, these type blocks will be digitized on Masterworks.  This sample will get some decorative stitches when I get my Ellegante back from servicing.

A2 One Two Buckle My Shoe SAMPLE



A little ripping but looks nice

Let the blocks begin

I received my first BOM package from Stitchin' Heaven.  It is a 24 month block of the month  program where they send fabric and instructions for 10 blocks. Since it's getting close to the end of the month, I must get busy ... the second months' blocks will be here before I turn around.  This upcoming week I will post my progress.  Thank you Jane Sickle and Brenda Papadakis for the challenge.
