November blocks

Hello everyone!

Its already November and we're officially now in the downhill slide to the end of 2021.

Today we have the November dog block

Its a Labrador.

This was my Lab - Arthur Baudelaire

He was such a loving, cuddlebug and all round major goof...

I really miss him.

Our block for November measures 12" (31cm) and is on the Intermediate level.

after all this fuss we have only one more block to go

You can adopt your Labrador for $1 from my Online Shop.

The small fee goes towards feeding all the other dogs in the shelter.... thanks!

******************************

Our Club patterns

have also arrived and are super cute too!!

This month we have a new quarterly block - a Cheetah 12" and the Modern 24" block is a Modern Flower while the Nature 16" block is a Manakin bird and the postcard is 6x10".

This is the line up for this year so far

This year we were also supposed to have a swap between the club members but the lockdowns have been having such a negative effect, so Im just going to add the postcard pattern to the November patterns instead of the swap.

Postcard measures 6x10" and is on the Easy Intermediate level

This CLUB is a subscription group that you can belong to

where we will be making modern blocks, random animals and birds, have a block swap and generally loads of fun.

Older months blocks (Back issues of patterns) can be gotten from me directly for $12 per month you need. You will need to be part of the club to get them tho'

Row a Long 2021

Hello! and Welcome to another Row a Long event

This year we heard the very sad news of a beloved friend Marian Pena from Seams to be Sew had passed away. Wow, that news really hit me hard. Marian was the one person I could always ask how things worked on my EQ program, we worked together on projects like the Row a Long and the 12 Days at the end of the year, we became friends. We never got to meet in person but I will always treasure everything we shared. I really miss you Marian.

The row I planned for this year's Seaside Adventure is a Scuba Diver. Its a foundation paper pieced row that measures 12x30".

The row was sewn up for me by Raihana Mahmud. Thank you very much.

Pattern can be found in my online shop.

Also showing their row today is Heleen Pinkster of

August News

Hello everyone!

Im hoping you're all well. I've come through this horrible covid and feeling loads better. Just this stupid cough that I can't shake.

Thank you to everyone who was so incredible and kind during this past month. I really appreciate all of you helping me out, sending me such beautiful messages and condolences.

I sold 246 dog blocks this past month with some of you purchasing multiples of the block and then some. Thank you! Thank you!

Asking people to pay a mere $1 for the dog block seems to have grieved some because our free blocks went out at 988 in January and have come down to an average of 650 in each of the other months. I was also sent messages and notes about how "extremely unfair" and other things I was being.....

This month we have another in our DOGS blocks.

This is a Boxer and measures 12" (31cm)

Don't you just love those head tilts they do

Our line up so far this year.

The Boxer will also be part of the $1 blocks. Thanks.

For those who feel this is so outrageous that you cannot support me with this, its all good.

You can adopt your Boxer for $1 from my Online Shop.

*****************************

So far we had 4 cat blocks - and now... We have our 5th

A cute as can be - it's a Cat Gang (14x18")

This is our line up so far...

You can find your cute Cat Gang HERE in my shop.

**********************************

This months CLUB patterns

The Modern block (24") is a Beagle and the Nature block (16") is a Lotus flower.

Our year so far...

Your subscription will renew for you on the day you started it and you can either go to the subscriptions/ downloads and find them or through the email links.

Remember to download and save them because they're taken down and replaced with the new blocks each end of the month.
