Block of the Month Challenge for November 2015

Block of the Month Challenge for November 2015: This is a very busy time of year, with major holidays coming up soon (I am going to be very PC and not name them so I can be sure not to leave anyone out). Regardless of when or how you celebrate, there will be lots to do, so I am only going to post one Block of the Month this time.  You can always make it after the holidays, if you wish.

Members of the Amoskeag Quilters Guild will start making charity quilts with these beautiful blocks in the spring and finish up in the fall.

This block is called"Hannah's Square and Star". It is a bit tricky to piece but makes up into a really pretty block.  I made mine in two colors but this could be made in more than one color, if you like. Let me know what you think.

I will post photos of blocks that I have received in the next week or two. (Did I say this is a very busy season?!)

With Thanksgiving so near, what are you thankful for?  I am very thankful for my husband (married more than 47 years!), my many friends and, of course, my family; I am grateful to be able to live my life as I wish, creating, designing, writing; and for so many other things - I have a very long list!

Best Wishes to each of you who visit here.

More "Marblehead" fabrics!

I have received another shipment of the beautiful "Marblehead" fabrics (designed by Ro Gregg for fabri-Quilt) - a much appreciated gift with which to make my next pattern - "Here Comes the Sun". Three fabrics are still to come but at least I can get started on the new quilt design. A smaller version (wall hanging) will be made from my stash- I have already picked out the fabrics. I hope to get the lap quilt done in time to send off to spring Market in Cincinnatti Ohio in May and, hopefully, my own quilt guild bi-annual quilt show in March.

Cant wait to show you both versions (Lap and Wall Hanging) in full, after the pattern is published.
