Ghastlie's Block of The Month 3 & 5

Ghastlie's Blocks 3 & 5

Here are a few pictures to help you cut out your scenes correctly. The instructions mention a template but I decided to not include one and forgot to rewrite that section. Sorry!!!

I made a template out of freezer paper and found it the best way to get an even diamond.

 My template triangle is 10" high and 10" wide. This is half of your diamond, or you could trace the whole 10 X 20 in. diamond.

 Because I used wax paper, I could iron the triangle onto the first half and then trace it, I used my friction pen. Then I lined it up on the second half and traced that half.

Cut it out with scissors so you don't go into neighboring scenes unnecessarily.

What I've Been Up To

 After 10 years, my husband finally has a homemade stocking! Now for all the kids and maybe myself before Christmas. Let us pray!

I really love my Chevron Hexagons out of Riley Blake's Aqua Chevron fabric. It got bound and is at Seasons of Home for you to see!

This is one of my projects for Seasons of Home. How about the mistletoe tradition totally disappearing? Bring it back with a pillow!

The International Quilt Festival

First year for me. 15th year for mom. I'm in heaven. I stood in line for all the book signings and free books. WOW!!! Love them!

We are working hard to make some good picks for the store. There's so much to see!

Hungry Hippo Alphabet

I just finished this quilt for my son. It's an alphabet panel and was a lot of fun to work with. I also love the border, it looks like a lot of work but it's a border fabric. LOVE IT!

Now it's off to Natalia at Piece N Quilt for some custom quilting. The kit is available at seasonsofhome.com and the pattern is FREE!

Girls' Night Out

Girls' Night Out is here again. So come in for fun, food and special sales. We have a jewelry show for tonight and a harpist for your entertainment. Halloween fabric is on sale for tonight only. We hope to see you there!
