Wow - finally Well, not quite, it still needs to be quilted.        I included all of the blocks and repeated Vanessa Goertzen's Heart block 4 times as the corner blocks. It's an awesome block (as are all of them) I was tempted to make a little 4 block quilt and I still may do that for Summer  (my 3 year old granddaughter) who has  stuffed bunnies that could use their own  quilt. If you want to make this grand finish to Blockheads 4, give me a minute and I'll talk to Tammy and figure out how to  turn it into a pattern. I can't give you the pieced blocks but you should already have them and  I can give you the center block pattern and the layout. Our Vintage book for 1/2 Price this week is Up on the Rooftop and our free pattern is "Olive the Other Reindeer" pillow. The pattern is in the book but if you don't have the book you can                               get the pa...

As an aside, Tammy is off today, spending the day at the hospital with her granddaughter who is having surgery and Zoie and I aren't as proficient with the computer.   I we can't figure out how to do it, please come back Monday when Tammy is back and go to the store to get your pattern. I'm much better with quilts that with computers. Jan

I think we all understand by now that I'm much better at quilts than I am at computers.   This is all laid out on the wall up in the loft but I can't even get it to show up.   I'm 78 and way too tired so I'll go to sleep and try again tomorrow. The squares are where the blocks will go and  the rectangles are part of the borders. See you tomorrow :)

My computer is experiencing technical difficultie                                                                                My grandchildren were here over the weekend                                                                        and lived on my computer.                                                                          Now I can't get things to work        ...

Birds on a Branch by Jan Patek You can download the pattern by clicking  here Flowers are blooming in the garden.

Monday was "American Eagle Day" so Eagles and Roses came down from the loft to go on my bed.

Now that the Missouri Star Shops in Hamilton are opening again we have had people coming by,  thinking  that we had a brick and mortar store so we decided to open a very small one. We have cleared out an area in the barn and today went over to Missouri Star and picked up some of the furniture that we had taken over there when we  were filming the tutorials.  Dobby can be  seen making sure everything was in place :) We'll be spending the next week or so setting everything up and then we'll give you directions and welcome you to our farm. You do need to remember that this is still a working farm (full of animals, feathers,  fur and grass with dirt and gravel roads). Our special this week is the  Pumpkin, Turkeys and Geese BOM pattern for 20 % off.  You can go to the store to buy it by clicking here .
