ONE BLOCK WONDERS....

I have finished all of my blocks for One Block Wonders, and I think they turned out pretty good. I have them up on a design wall so that I can play with them for awhile and see what the best layout would be for them.

AND.... my greatest accomplishment this past few days has been the cleaning out of my sewing room and stash. I have 4 huge boxes of fabrics, books, patterns, notions, etc, etc, etc....... that are being given to two separate church functions - one is having a sale to benefit Purses and Projects for African Grandmothers, and the other is to assist a group of ladies who are just getting started sewing and quilting. I am feeling so glad to get things cleaned up... and to know that someone else can use the supplies.

BEAUTIFUL DAY.....

This is the view I saw yesterday as I was getting gas, it is a view of Calgary looking west to the Rocky Mountains. - I couldn't believe what a beautiful view I was seeing. The mountains were so clear. This is the way to start the day!

I have recently obtained the quilt book, One Block Wonders, by Maxine Rosenthal. A friend of mine, Shirley, who runs an online Fibre Arts Learning group, had a class on this on her group. I
looked at the pictures and didn't think too much about them... then I bought the book. I hauled out some VERY old fabric that I had for a long time - it is sort of Valentine's themed (fits in with the month!) and... well..... here is the result.... I guess I am hooked!! Looks like there could be up to 60-80 blocks in this quilt and it is based on a traditional kaleidoscope block. So, I added this to my UFO list, LOL, and will keep you posted on the results!
