OWL POT HOLDER

 This cute little fellow was fun to make. With a loop to hang up.

 This was the first one I made and the one at the top is much better.

This is the back see all the owls.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BLOCK 17

Strength in the Union Block is the name of this block. The British government decided to repel the Stamp Act even though it reserved the right to tax the North American Colonies. Ben felt that reconciliation with England was most important.After all, no colony had ever successfully split with its mother country and survived at least not in 1760. Ben feared deeper trouble was brewing.

Sister's 10 BOM for 2013

  This is the Sister's BOM by genxquilters.com  I picked to do this BOM because I never saw a lay out like this. Now I have to pick a backing for it and get it quilted.

Christmas Catcus

 These have been hanging in my basement window all year and are just bursting with  flowers.

  I brought them up to put in my bay window to enjoy for Thanksgiving .

 This one has been blooming for over a month the flowers are starting to drop off.

Table Cloth & Pad

I made this table cloth for my son Antique Table. I had to make a pad for  the table I used  Warm and Natural in between the best muslin. It was 96 x  46. Eric made the pattern for it with freezer paper. It was circular and turned out great.  Now he doesn't have to use just place mats when he entertains.  The material matches his chairs and wall paper. How about that?  Click on the picture and see how it really looks.

BEN FRANKLIN STORM SIGNAL BLOCK

Benjamin was constantly observing hot and cold fronts, storm  patterns, and lightening. In 1937 the waving flags used to warn sailors of dangerous weather.  The light and dark are important to give this block its nautical flag like feel.  Click on picture to see how I made the dark and light  materials to make this block. I have to make 3 more  just like this  one for the BOM.
