More Block Fun
A blog reader, Janny from the Netherlands, reached out to me last week and asked about the quilt in this photo.
I made this block/quilt in a string class with Gwen Marston. As all things Gwen she encouraged us to come up with something unique. The block is a Rocky Road to Kansas, but I made my own pattern.
Here's a closer look.
I sent this to Janny and encouraged her to do the same. I didn't have Electric Quilt when I made my block, but graph paper works just as well.
I was thrilled when she sent me a photo of her first block.
Sometimes it is good to do your own thing!
Here's a little project I'm working on this week, unfortunately I burned it!! Aargh! It was only 1 block, so I'll start over and coffee dye the burned piece to disguise it.
The book sale was a resounding success! All the books are in the mail!! Thank you for your support and the extra $ that was donated for my trip.
Have a great week!

Block Fun Monday
I have several patterns to test for the Rising Sun/Eclipse blocks.
The first 2 I made were busts.
Nothing lined up very well on this one.
And I wasn't quite sure about the last pieces in this one. No matter how much I put it on graph paper, I still struggled. I have 2 more patterns to try....but I got bored.....
So I made this cute little block!
Someone (Lizzy) mentioned making the quilt in my Facebook header. It is a fun one with a great zig zag setting and half blocks!Here is the pattern for a 4" block, which is what I made. It would be a good size for a small size quilt.
Here is a pattern for a 6" block, which would be better for a larger quilt.
Thank you all so much for supporting my mission trip by purchasing books from me! If you haven't received an email from me, please send me your mailing address (ldej@crestviewcable.com) so I can calculate shipping charges and I'll get you a total.
I've been out of town this weekend, so if you haven't heard from me, that is why. I'm spending a bit of time away with hubby before my week in Houston commences.
Have a wonderful day and week!
