Civil War Block

Yeah I made it…this block just didn’t quite grab me however after thinking about it for a while and then remembering some lights that were gifted to me, it is now done.

Block 30 Peterson’s Star & Stripes, wow 30 blocks made already.
Oh I just have to share what I had handed to me at work today…
Isn’t she soo cute and so perfect only 6 days old. And yes I handed her back, nice to handle nice to hold but oh yeah fantastic to hand back. She seriously looks like a little doll and daddy says she is very quiet.
P.S. I’m good at asking questions and sometimes they are real dumb but anyways here goes…Is there a program you can like pop all your block pictures into-to work out like the final layout??You know what I mean eh?

Sewing …plus other stuffs

Pretty- mighty happy this week, cause the fabric I ordered to finish my item in the Retro Nine Patch hosted by Lyn arrived.

And I nearly have a top woohoo.

Just a wee sneak peek for now..

In my last post I said I was doing some secret sewing , I can now show you the gifties that were for Mrs D’s birthday.

A runner for her new cabinet, which when reversed has a lovely fabric with tall trees in the forest-so it’s reversible.

This one is to sit on her phone stool thingy-you know them really only ones that had a seat one side and a top with a drawer.

She loved them both-so I am very happy.

Can’t show the other items at the moment.

BUT I sure can show you this pic…

Look at this young man go, Ziah @5.5months and crawling along.
