Flower Girl & Bee

My granddaughter, Kaylynn, 
was flower girl for her Mom's wedding
this past weekend.
I had to share the photos that were sent to me...


Beautiful {sigh} just beautiful.

We're ahead in our Aqua and Red Block Bee...
this is October's block.
Christine asked for a 10.5" unfinished
block with hst's using this layout.
I chose to make mine totally symmetrical.
I rather like it.


Today is Friday...last workday of the week...have a good one!

Flower & Star...

I am rather enjoying the process of making these blocks for my Summer Sampler Series Quiltalong quilt. They are all blocks that are new to me...and I am loving these Hope Valley fabrics (thanks, Cathy!).

This block is called Evening Star...I put it together yesterday.  It called for paper-piecing, which is a process that I do somewhat enjoy!  I like this block...a lot.


And, here is Flower Garden Path.  This was the block I worked on today...and one that is definitely not for the faint of heart!  Flower Garden Path is made up of almost all half-square triangles...28 of them, plus 4 corner squares and one larger center square!  I only placed one hst square the wrong way...luckily, it was an easy fix.  I am quite happy with this block, too!

It's a gorgeous Autumn-ish day.  How can it be so hot and humid one day and the next day, it's Fall?  We've been having these lovely cool & sunny days since the weekend.  If all the days were like this, I'd be happy.   


I am thinking of doing a small giveaway.  No special reason.  Something small.  Sometime  soon.  Stay tuned!
