I want to share some links to some local (amazing) bloggers that have some photos of the ice storm that we had.
Becky over at Becky's Blabber is a local quilter. We've had coffee a few times and have to plan a quilting night - she said with WINE. Oh lala! Some of her photos of the ice storm are here.
A good friend of mine has a way with the camera. She hasn't posted in a while but she did post an amazing photo from this past storm here and here.
I've been blah blah blah. I think it's because I'm forced to work.
I was able to catch up in my Sew.Happy.Quilt quilt along.
This beauty is called Fireflies
I used this tute
And this is called Template Star Block
I used this tute.
My brain apparently couldn't grasp this block to save my life. I re-cut this thing FOUR TIMES {yes, that is me cyber-yelling}. First I didn't have the template large enough, then I cut the white too small. Then I re-cut this and I had the blue (used to be orange} cut on the wrong side - twice. I used my seam ripper more times on this than I want to admit. Lalalala. So eventually I got this block right. And let me tell ya. . I'm happy to have it done with. :)
Another block came out yesterday. I might break into my fabrics soon - maybe.
Go check out the flickr group of the amazing 100+ participants and Jenna over at Sew Happy Geek {click the pretty button}.
You re-cut it 4 times?!? You are a much better person than me...by number 3 it would have been in the trash :)
