No Foolin'

Just a reminder, The clock is ticking ever faster,  three months to go until completed blocks are due.

Block Number Ten

It seems to take a full minute to register what is in the mail, with the self-addressed envelopes I mailed with the unfinished blocks. Not so early (?) onset dementia, perhaps?   Then, I remember, and eagerly tear open the paper to reveal another treasure.

Helen Murrell

Once again, I am blown away by the beauty of simple stitching, with blank spaces, wishing I could have done mine so well.  Helen Murrell's block brings our count up to ten.

Whetting your appetites, aka The clock is ticking

Nine blocks down and four months to go to get your finished blind 

and blue block completed and mailed to Ruta!

ALL the blocks are wonderful, so no pressure to outdo each other.  

(although I must say, it will be good to prove the naysayers wrong, who thought we shouldn't bother)

Hidden Treasure

Well, ladies, the bar has just been raised.  Do you see the image in the block Sue Copeland Jones has created? Wow, glad mine is done...

Our Project has not been forgotten, Number 8 is here!

Just when I was about to despair that our blind block project has been forgotten, one arrived in the mail today. It is from Katherine Dunlevey and is beautifully stitched.  no wonky blind stitching either!

And I have heard that several other blocks are nearing completion.  

Perhaps a good thing to do on that once-in-four-years-extra day (leap-year) we have this month, is stitch yours?

We Promised and Marty Delivered

Marty Young, completed block and signature block

Yes, it is true, there is another block completed.

Marty Young completed her block.

 

Transferred, with extra thread, at the opening reception for Sandy Shelenberger's  (and Shirley McElhaney and Anne Weissman's) exhibition at The Gathering Place in Westlake.

 

Looking good.

 

And I misspoke in that earlier missive - Mary Ann T. did include some extra blue thread, so she wins all around.

Another Year, Another Block

Tineke Klaassen has done her homework and sent in her block, before returning to school.

 

 

Jennifer gets the prize for being the first one to send in extra blue thread.  Tineke is runner-up.

Nice Work!
