Morning Barbara. I did make block 3. When I looked at it all I saw were curves and figured it would be a nasty bugger to make. It wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. George was looking at the book and he saw where she'd printed the stories off on fabric for the backing. I have done research on my hubby's family history and they fought on both sides of the Civil War including his great grandfather, Samuel Humberstone, a Mississippi River Boat captain that supplied the North armies. So, I will put stories of my husbands families on the back.
In the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
Judy ,I love your block ,it came out beautiful and the fabric you used is awesome. That is so exciting that you have all found that history on your family. will make for a great heirloom for family . I have no idea if anyone in my family fought in the CW . I know little about my father as my parents divorced when I was very young. I didn't get to meet my father ,but I did meet some of my half brothers and sisters back in 1996 . but after my uncle bill passed away no one stayed in touch. Sad really .
That looks great Judy, I love the fussy cut to show off the little flowers.
I have July's block made, just haven't posted this yet. I haven't even looked at this one yet. I'm in the middle of a scrap squad quilt that is sucking all my quilting time. It has a bunch of paper piecing and is time consuming.
Jacy, that's ok I can understand your time being used up on one project, but we do love your quilts when you are finished. I just wnated to see how everyone was doing. so no big hurry . Barbara
Barbara, I am working on it. I hate HST and spend more time frogging then sewing. I have one more row to go and it will be done. Patience is a virtue. I can tell you right now, I WILL be skipping the third one.
LaJuan Sukochi Lee: Barbara, I am working on it. I hate HST and spend more time frogging then sewing. I have one more row to go and it will be done. Patience is a virtue. I can tell you right now, I WILL be skipping the third one.
LaJuan. I was going to skip block 3 also. But I'm glad I didn't. It's not nearly as bad as it looks. Give it a shot.
LaJuan Sukochi Lee: I WILL be skipping the third one.
Sukochi, since there are thirteen blocks, skipping this hardest one will still give you 12 blocks, still a great number of blocks for a quilt. You might get a little more confident as you go along too, you could always try this block later after you've made the others.
Pretty block Judy.
I don't know why I am so reluctant to stretch my abilities. I should try this.
Right now, I am surrounded by chaos. With this new flooring, we basically have to re-do the whole house. Furniture everywhere, stuff everywhere. Perhaps, I will wait until all the chaos is gone then attempt this.
Melody thanks that is good info to know,I have never been to the shop in lee summit . maybe someday. Barbara
The Lee's Summit Quilt shop is awesome. You should go there. I haven't been for a long time, since they moved to their new location 2 yrs ago. I worked today, and my machine was there from being cleaned and checked while I was on vacation, so I paid the bill mid day, and also bought fabric for the applique swap, and lo and behold, I walked out of the shop tonight and forgot it!! Now I have to drive back into Topeka tomorrow to get my machine. I have been only half here all day.
