COULDN'T RESIST MAKING ANOTHER

I enjoyed making the pink August block 'sew' much that I just had to make another using my black background fabrics and my hoard of embellishmens. After completing my second block, I worked on my CQ block and will soon have it completed to post.

Nature's creations versus man made

A shutter bug's delight to find a sand castle contest! These were my favorite sand castles. Aren't the first two shots amazing?

...then the greatest artist's work:

These photos are of a lily given to me from my friend. I was surprised to see it bloom the first year as the last lily I purchased did not survive our winter. She didn't know what kind of lily it was but I think it may be a Star Gazer. Aren't God's creations beautiful?

"SWEET" BLOCK Design for August's " A Tisket a Tasket

The weather has been been rainy and I have been trying to work on some quilting WIP's. Then Anne Sutton from Bunny Hill Designs posted her design for August and I excitedly started sewing my block and I couldn't stop. Now what am I going to do until next month's design is released?

I could work on my mystery cross stitch as I only have a couple of sections to do, but this is more of a winter activity.

Here is the block I made for August. And if you love cupcakes, take a peek at Zalita's "dee-luscious" site:

ENJOY.

July "A Tisket A Tasket" Block of the Month Completed

Again, I enjoyed stitching this design from Anne Sutton's Bunny Hill Designs. I still have to add the sheep's tail though and am having fun with that 'tale.' I also had to add some white hairs on the sheep to make it contrast against the dark basket.

July 1st is Canada Day - 142nd birthday, so I have the sheep holding the Canadian maple leaf flag.

You can view the rest of my blocks in my older posts or on Flickr. It is not too late to join. This is such a fun group. FREE patterns can be found by clicking this text.

Pin Cushion received from Carla

Carla's work looks much prettier in this photo.

Look what a BEAUTIFUL PIN CUSHION received today!

LOOK what a beautiful pin cushion I received in the mail today. I am delighted and thrilled and especially THANK and appreciate all the 'care' CARLA put into sewing this pin cushion. I absolutely love the pin cushion and all the nice 'extras' I received in this exchange. Carla had each item wrapped individually and it felt like an early Christmas present.

Also a special THANK YOU Sandra, the coordinator of the Pin Cushion Swap for accepting my 'late' registration...I appreciate all the work involved organizing this swap and would definitely look forward to doing this again.

A Tisket a Tasket June block of the Month finished and posted on Flickr

This block took me longer than normal, but it is finished. now for the long wait for July's block. I wonder what Anne Sutton will design for July...any guesses?
