Here is my latest block of Beyond the Cherry Tree. Block 21 was posted today!!

 Here is the center of block 16 which will be in the center of my quilt....in my own hand!

 Jan Patek Bible BOM. Folk art for sure!!
 Twelve Days of Christmas by Cheri. I got my two birds stitched down and added the pied piper. I am loving the results!!
This was a quick shot on party day for my niece.  We had a lovely weekend and enjoyed our company and the festivities!! Way to go Hannah!!

    Lori great folk art indeed. The 12 Days looks good - quite a few to come though! Love the piper with his swanky tie!

    You have gotten a lot of work done on each project, each one beautifully done. I am such a slacker lately.
    Beautiful photo of your niece.

    From the angle of the picture, I thought at first the decoration on the cake was a Princess feather! Congratulations to your niece. I hope the party was a lot of fun.

    Your blocks are all beautiful, just like always.

    So many goodies to share. I like the green basket on the Cherry Tree block. I printed out block 21 today. Not too many more to go.

    I have block 5 of the Noah quilt ready to applique. I don't know what I am waiting for to work on it.

    Look at that beautiful smile! I love celebrating those milestones! And the cherry tree is so great! I think that green and red will always be the very best color combination. The idea of having hand work around to do is something I did this rainy spring. I was sad when my pieces were all done! Going to start a wool hydrangea piece next week. Have a good weekend Lori! xo Pam in Chico
