RCTQ 2006-2007 BOM

Oh gee, I just found all the fabric for this project. It started in April 2006. I did all the blocks for April and May -- paper-pieced, regular pieced, applique. Then I pooped out!

This block is my favorite. It's called Card Basket by Marcia Hohn. It's available on her Quilter's Cache website.

Now I feel so much more confident about my paper-piecing skills! I'll finish the set of paper-pieced blocks then go to the regular pieced ones. I didn't like my fabric choices for the applique blocks, so maybe I'll start those over again.

Long Time No See

Haven't been here for a while. Lots of things have happened since last March. I've moved back to elementary school, now teaching 4th grade. It's time to think about retiring in the next few years. My hair has gotten long, and there's lots more gray. I turned 60. WOW, the big six-oh! I took advantage of the senior discount at Long John Silver's today.

I'm on a 5-week break. I'm in a year-round multi-track school. I'm on Red Track that has off pretty much of September, January, and May.

So now I'm enjoying the peace and quiet of Christmas Eve. Hoping to accomplish lots of quilting during this 5-week Christmas break.

Merry Christmas!
