Samplers & Stars

Here are my Stars in a Time Warp for this week and last. Last week's theme was printed plaids, this week was ombres.
Here are 5 more fun blocks for the Ohio sampler
Old Tom (drawn from the Ohio Miami sampler book) 
Pomegranate
A wreath
I thought I was making this to replace my drunkard's path, but it is the wrong size, so I'll try and find a place for it somewhere.
Sweet gum blocks. Aren't they adorable?

See Karen's blocks HERE.

It has been quite a week! My mom was suddenly sick and ended up in the hospital. She does good in her own surroundings, but mentally slips when she is out of her element. She kept asking me last night if she could go to the dining room to eat. I'm hoping the dr releases her today. It was strange being in the hospital, as the last time we'd been there was when my FIL died last spring.

Here's what's been on Instagram this week if you missed it!

  6. Old Tom is a good addition for the quilt! I like the star shaped flower above his head. We will have to show some of the more folk art look blocks all together in one of the posts.

  8. It's too bad the indigo block is the wrong size. It's a very striking block.

  10. Love your new blocks. The cheddar/brown plaid star is my favorite of the Time Warp blocks and the Sweet Gum blocks make me smile.
    Sorry to hear about your Mom. Spent the morning in the hospital with my 91 year old Dad who had outpatient foot surgery today. He kept trying to get them to let him go home early. I wanted him there as long as they would keep him because I knew once he got home we wouldn't be able to make him follow doctor's instructions. : )

  15. Sorry about your Mom - hope she can get back into familiar surroundings very soon! So good that you live close by for intensive support. Your stars and Ohio blocks are fabulous. I bought a few printed plaid fat quarters yesterday as well as the ONE ombré piece I could fine in the shop. I'm realizing I really don't have a lot of true repro fabric - learning so much in this series!

    The app showing your running paths, care to share which one you're using. I am a beginning walker who sometimes takes a jog during the walk (trying to get to running) :).

    Thanks in advance for your reply.
