Finally…I went to work on my “A Tisket a Tasket” block of the month quilt! When I saw February’s pattern I had to make it first…I just love the little birds! I decided to use “Sweet” and “Swell” for my quilt after seeing this block. I had soo much fun putting this little block together…thanks so much to Anne of Bunny Hill Designs! And you can bet I’ll be working on January’s block today!
I also spent a little time this weekend finishing my one-inch finished half-square triangles…yes, they’re all done (a big thank you to the triangle paper)! And now they’ve found homes in these blocks…12 of them. The centers will be for the stitcheries which I’ll start tracing this week!
Well, it’s a wonderful rainy Monday here in southern Nevada…so after some housework…I have lots of plans for sewing today! Hope you get to sew as well! And truly, my thoughts and prayers today go out for those of you in Australia.

I love your tisket a tasket block! And what a nice idea to have stitcheries in those other blocks, with those tiny triangles.

Your basket turned out so darn cute out of that fabric…I may have to change mine…I was determined to use scraps…

Oh, Your basket block is so cute. Love the stripe in the one heart. I really want to start mine but I need to finish some other things firs. Can’t wait to see what you stitch in those blocks.
Christine says
Your basket block is adorable. Looks great in these fabrics.
Love the stitchery blocks too. Looking forward to seeing what you stitch in the centres.
Very sad time here in Australia. This morning I heard that 173 people have perished so far. Hard to comprehend.

Your blocks look great!!
Gillian says
Yes, thank you for your kind thoughts about us Downunder. We’re mostly shocked, even when we live a long way away.
Climate change is bringing hotter temperatures and that will mean more bad fires for SE Australia.
