Christmas Fabrics Block of The Month Swap- August- CLOSED!!!

[calicokat]

I have received both of my blocks this month - Lunachick and Nanakat both made Ohio Stars, but with different poinsettia fabrics. They look great together!!

I made a Sawtooth Square for both of my August swap partners. And I made a third one - for me

easy peasy to cut three out and piece them all at once. I think I'll make one for me each month, and that way I have a reminder of what I made for the swap too

This was the block that went out to Lunachick and Nanakat this month (and stayed home with me too!):

just as a reminder

FrChuckW you are sending me two blocks

earthymom2 you are sending me a block as well as the fat quarters so you should be able to ship them together.

thanks

It was a lot more sewing than I figured..

.. I think it was called "Modified 9 patch" I just made the one I cut out for me, and It came out a bit big.

.. You might want to check yours, mine was close to 13"!! Yikes!

Confession time - I haven't finished up my blocks yet. I've been swamped with everything, including getting my kids going in school again. I promise they will go out soon though. I am so sorry for my lateness.

Lunachick - I got your block Monday and love it! Thank you so much!

Well I tried to do my 3 this afternoon. I can not believe how fast a 2 year old boy is LOL. My son at 2 was so laid back. Well I will have to wait till he goes home to finish these 3 blocks but they are going to get done this week.

Not to worry ladies, I just have to put the finishing touches to my blocks(rewash them, iron them and seal them in baggies so there is no smoke smell to them) I should have them in the mail by this week-end. I would have had them done and mailed Monday but a co-worker of mine was killed in a senseless accident over the week-end and I was a bit pre-occuppied with helping my fellow associates deal with her death. Some yutz was test driving a Dodge Challenger and broadsided her and her step dad at 100 miles an hour. Both were killed instantly but the yutz wound up with just some bruises and a sprained ankle.

Saying Prayers FrChuck, tough one

Forgot to mention in my previous post that I picked up some really neat Christmas Fat Quarters yesterday and one of those Sidewinders at Hancock Fabrics. They had it on sale for $19.99, also picked up a pair of pinking shears at Wally World. Yesterday was running errand day around here.

Chuck you're gonna love the Sidewinder. I've used mine at least a half dozen times since I got it. It ranks right up with the rotary cutter for me.
