Blockheads ~ Block 46

Brrrrr. Is it cold where you are? Okay. This might be overly dramatic... this isn't Dallas. But to yours-truly, I feel like I'm sitting on that bench right now. I'm freezing. But it's all relative because the outside-temperature at a sweet friend's house was -2 yesterday morning. Though the...

Blockheads ~ Block 45

Can you believe that January is already almost half over with? That might be a slight exaggeration but it is almost one-third over. Happy Wednesday - Blockheads Edition 45. Double Dutch by Jo Morton. The quilt block, not the jump-rope game. Did you ever play that? I did and while I could keep a...

Blockheads ~ Block 44

Happy 2018! Happy January! Did you have a lovely holiday? It's been quite cold here - relatively speaking. Meaning, it's freezing cold to me! But to friends in Illinois, Nebraska and elsewhere... not so much. I'll bet Betsy's cold. That's why she made so many itty-bitty half-triangle squares. She...

Blockheads ~ Block 43

It's official. We're on the homestretch now... for 2017 and for the Blockheads. Here's hoping you had a lovely December with family, friends... and maybe a little time to yourself to rest, relax and reflect. It is that time of year... winter. I've always thought it was more the nature of the season...

Blockheads ~ Block 42

Coming and going. Is that how you feel right now? So many things to do... not nearly enough time to do everything you think you should get done... and all you really want to do is curl up in front of a warm sewing machine. (Or maybe that's just me.) This week's block is Turnstile... aka "coming and...

Blockheads ~ Block 39

Today is National Electronic Greetings Day! I had to open with something and since I can't send you each an e-card individually, I thought I'd share some of my favorite sewing-quilting-related ee-cards. It's Blockheads Wednesday, v. 39. Or Blockheads Jo Morton , v. 7. One of those. Block 39 is...
