WARNING! More blocks......

One reason why I have been absent recently, is due to the fact that I really feel I have little to blog about. Any stitching time I have, has been dedicated to these blocks, but I suppose what can I expect when I took on not one, but two wool applique block quilts! I apologise in advance, but this is more blocks.......

I just wanted to share where I am with the'Heart to Hand' Christmas quilt








And all together, although the snowman isn't in his right position, but just to give you an idea,



I have been seeing all over blogland the new primitive quilting magazine and I am sooo jealous! I am anxiously watching for the postman in the hope he will bring mine soon, so being in the book/mag mood, I succumbed to buy this new book by Jan Patek and I LOVE it! So many beautiful projects........



Well, there seems to be a queue for this laptop and I'm feeling under pressure, so I hope your weekend is a good one:)

Blessings,

Shazy x

    Where did you find Jan's book/magazine? I would like to purchase one.

    I love seeing your wool blocks. The ones you share today are from a pattern I was quite tempted by but did not succumb to purchasing.

    No need to apologise for such lovely blocks Shazy - they're really nice and your stitching is so neat. What's this new primitive quilting magazine you mentioned - I'm interested to hear more. And I love the look of the Jan Patek book - more projects perhaps eh!!

    Love Julia xxx

    Really love the look of your blocks Christine.
    There are times when you need to do something more important than play around with a keyboard, especially when the finished product looks as good as this :-)xxx

    Thanks for sharing your pictures, especially of the Christmas quilt. I'm working on that same BOM from PG but you are way ahead of me. PG is one of my favorite shops and I've been there 3 times even though it's a 9 hour drive each way.
    Jan Patek is one of my favorite designers and I just got that book too. I've made several of her designs and just had to order a kit from her for the Monkey Wrench quilt after seeing it in the book.
    I think you'll really like the Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine.
