Marty, I sent you the patterns we discussed several months back. I realized after getting them all copied and stuffed in the envelope that they are patterns for 9" blocks. They use templates but can probably be figured out for strip piecing. I figured out all the templates for a 12" block. Let me know if you want them and I will email them to you.kat, have you started the next exchange yet?
That is quite alright, if I had looked in side I would have seen that!!!! least I have them.Sorry about the no screen name on the box. I did put it on the blocks though.
Good Morning!
I just wanted to stop in and say I am still working on my blocks. I've got 5 done with all the commotion here in OK: weather, last week of school, and strep throat and torn shoulder tendon. I really don't know how to sit still on the couch and do nothing, which leads me into silly antics on our farm. We were only 1 hour south of the tornadoes this week and we didn't get any rain from the storms that hit Moore. It's devastating. As a third grade teacher, my heart is hurting for the kids and parents in this. I am so proud to be from Oklahoma thought. Just watching the survivors on the news this week has made me proud to hear all of them say they Thank God they are alive and they can replace all the "things" that are gone.
On a lighter note, my class and the Kindergarten class hatched 12 of my eggs this year. I placed them under the broody mama, I call her Milly since she is THE mother hens of hens, and she took all of them. I've spent a lot of time just watching mother nature take it course in the coop. It's amazing!!
Last night I tried to stream line the whole square process by marking my strips of fabric with cutting marks and sewing marks. This was excited the whole thing worked until I checked the pattern and saw it was 4 inch squares, not 3 and 7/8 inch squares. I guess I should have followed my own advice and check the directions before starting!! (Don't tell my 3rd graders!!)
Blessings, Love, and happiness to all of you this week! I can't wait for the end of today to get here: It's our last day of school and then we're on summer break for a few weeks......of course then I'll be busy with farm work.
