Quilt Block & A Mistress















Have I told you that my "Sweet Honey" has a "mistress"? Well he does. For 30 years now, I have called the newspaper his "Mistress"! It seems like every time he starts to read the newspaper is when I have something very important to tell him. He says it never fails that I talk while he is reading. Do you think he is trying to tell me something??? Anyway, after lunch when I saw him with his "mistress" I decided that I would go finish quilt block #10 of Amanda Jean's Quilt Along! I bet that I had more fun than he did! Then I came upstairs and made my "sweet honey" a peach cobbler! All is well in our home even with a "mistress"!

Caught Up With My Quilt Blocks






I have worked really hard this weekend to get caught up with Amanda Jean's Quilt Along! I am so excited! The pictures show blocks 6-9 and then all of them together. I am very proud of them. I had a lot of fun. Every spare minute this weekend you would find me in the sewing room. I enjoyed every minute of it! How can quilting be this much fun? Only quilters would understand!

Star Quilt Block 5 Redone





Beautiful Block, but the star pattern just didn't show up good to me.
Here is how it looked with the others on my design board.
This is the new one. I think the star pattern shows up much better.
Block # 5 is on the far right. Doesn't it show up better?
I was not satisfied with the way Block 5 in the quilt along looked. The layout was good. I just didn't think the fabric showed the star as well as it should have, so I have redone it. I am happy with it now. I am trying to catch up. Now on to Block #6!!!
