I hope you all are doing well…I’m trying to get back in the swing of things here after being gone over 10 days!!! Caught up on Laundry, house stuff, organize work stuff, Dr’s appointments..and deadlines…yes I seem to live by the deadline…I am currently working on patterns and stitching quilts for our upcoming Fall Market and Festival in Houston…I need to start making a list..as our Primitive Christmas event will have to be done before I leave for Houston too!!! It will get done…but I thought I should post one of these babies because we are going to see a lot of them in a row…because I am home now until Oct 27th..thats a whole month!!! Also got my “little man” fix today…just what MeMe needed! Yes…thats what he calls me and it soooo sweet coming out of his mouth the way He says it..

Another beauty thanks Lisa
Thanks again .. Can’t wait to get caught up. Getting ready for a craft show so everything else is on hold. I don’t know how you do it. Cudo’s to you!!
Thank you, was thinking it was time for another block as I was playing catch up here too. Off of work for a week and two short up north fixes for me last week. Home, work, clean along with laundry and let the guys repack for their trip to the UP. Cutting block 6 to stitch tomorrow at my lqs Soup&Sew day. Hope to have all of my blocks finished by tomorrow night. Playing around with settings and layouts. Enjoy your home time and looking forward to seeing what is next.
This will be so pretty when you are finished.
You are coming up with some great block designs!
Love your “grandma” name. : )
Don’t know how you keep up that pace!
Thank you for all of these these extra projects that you do! So amazing & happy fall!! Love these blocks.
Hi Lisa. Wondering if you could share a couple of tips how you keep points matched up when sewing pieces together I try hard with all these triangles, pinning,etc. thank you Wendy Hembree

I love the cranberry red, great choice. On my to do list, for next Christmas!
Lisa, or anyone, what is your philosophy about using steam?
I use it all the time…with heavily starched fabrics
Thanks, Lisa. I’m having a little trouble with wavy fabric–especially in the larger pieces. Not so much in the small pieces of fabric sewn together. I’ll bet heavily starching is the key. I starch with Best Press prior to cutting–but it must not be enough. Thanks again for responding. I’m so enjoying this stitch a-long. I’m learning so much!
I am so addicted to these sampler blocks! Just love the reds it is going to be beautiful!
Lisa, these blocks are over the top great!! My “little man” is 7 1/2 and still calls me Mim. That’s what came out first, so that’s what I am and I love it.
