New blocks

We are in the 10th. month of our sampler class. These are the 3 blocks for November. Now I would like you to see what our weather is doing. We had 9 inches of snow  a couple weeks ago and since have been having a heat wave, This is what my back yard looks like today.

White House Christmas Tree

Thought I would show you the tree- It stopped in Mitchell SD on the way to Washington DC from Alaska. It is 75 ft. long and the truck was covered  so we couldn't see much but we could put our sig
nature on the truck' I will also show you Willie Nelson. The pictures on the Corn Palace are made from colored corn grown in the area and also some grasses'

More blocks

Another block for my sampler- also did a 6 1/2 in. to match. Am finally cleaning off my garden so maybe can get some sewing done. Have a quilt to put the binding on and another to hand quilt. This will be the last one I will hand quilt. ..This is an applique block for the sampler. I used invisible thread to sew the appliqued pieces.

new block

 This is another block from my sampler class I am taking at our local quilt shop. My grandson put a new photo program on my computer and I am having fun trying to figure it our. He lives in Omaha NE so can't just drop in and help me.
  Last night our quilt shop had Christmas in July. They had lots of pretty things on display. It was fun and I enjoyed seeing everything. I won a charm pack of Moda Mistletoe lane. we also got a nice discount on Christmas fabric and kits. I bought an Advent calendar kit and am anxious to get going on it. Has to be done so I can use it this year.

New blocks

These are my 2 blocks for July- I have some applique blocks finished but haven't photographed them yet . Its been a busy time with my garden and visitors stopping by so I don't get much time in the sewing room. We are supposed to have storms again tonight. Weather has been hot and humid. Hope you are all having a good summer- suppose it won't be long and we will be complaining about the cold weather.
