cause guess who is in town???
Why Santa of course--
I decided to use the gray one for Santa--
as we know he has to be on all those roof tops with the chimney smoke--
so the snow has to be a bit 'grey'--right???
I thought this block would be the easier of the two I had to stitch--
welll--
I was wrong--sorta--
both had a 'tough' spot--
here is the other one I did this week end--
I kept getting the direction wrong--
but then you have to remember I am the gal that can never remember--
her left from her right!!!!
On the Santa is was his eye and eye brow pieces that gave me fits--!!!!
I am nearly caught up on this months bom's--
still have the Patchwork block to do (6 small ones and one large one)
and today another 2 blocks came out in the teapot paper piecing quilt--
so I am still stitching--when I can find the time--
Today is my daughters 49th birthday--
so in about half hour she is coming for me and I am taking her shopping and to lunch--
though--
we did go on an adventure yesterday--
we went and walked and walked the Art Festival in Wickham park--
think I heard someone say there was 120 booths-it seemed more than that to me--
then we went to Chili's for a late lunch--!!!
Enjoy the moments, di

I'm sorry - Santa in April is just WRONG! He is kinda cute though. Enjoy time with your DD!
You're too speedy!!! I am working on the caardinal now and Santa is cut out. The next teacups are printed out and I have squares cut for pinwheels and another pile of rainbow scraps to cut out. And and and and...
L,A- Oh yeah--and I have to watch a race!!!
Well done!! Glad you persisted with those tricky eyebrows as they turned out too cute! Your daughter's birthday is the same as my EDs - hope you had a good day out!
Lovely blocks for Christmas! Chili's is right down the road from us, so we go occasionally...and you enjoy those moments too!
I am really impressed with your paper pieced blocks Di. They look absolutely wonderful. I don't have the patience for paper piecing. The first time I did it was on The Splendid Sampler blocks. I went in my sewing room at 9 and came out at 5 with the block finally done. I only took bathroom breaks and coffee breaks. Oh yeah--I made three trips to the printer to make more copies of the pattern because I kept destroying the others. I decided I didn't like it at all ad have avoided it every since.
Happy birthday to your daughter! My oldest is 50. You know--It is getting hard for us to stay young when our kids are getting sooo old! LOL
Santa is a good block. Looks like it would be fairly easy. Just have to watch which way things get turned.
I love that Cardinal block! You've done a great job of keeping up with all the BOMs. That's an achievement. Happy belated birthday to your daughter. Hope you had a great shopping expedition last week.
