A LITTLE OF THIS AND THAT

The one advantage to having all this snow is that I do spend more time in my sewing room.  I made this block yesterday.  This is block 2 from the book Garden Sampler Block of the Month. While making it I wondered, who needs crossword puzzles when we have patterns to stretch our mind!
This is what I worked on Saturday while at the Attic Window Quilt Shop sewing with the Happy Scrappers.  It is Broken Herringbone.  A great way to use your scraps.  I think I'll add one more row then put a wide border on it, something to calm it down a bit.  Any suggestions?
My daughter gave me the QCR Mini Ruler for Christmas.  I've been practicing with the ruler but have not been able to achieve the round curve that I want.
There was a pattern with the ruler, so I took the squares apart and made this.
I think this will work.  It will be a fun way to use my scraps and my new ruler.
ATTENTION: Monday hours have changed.  The Attic Window Quilt Shop is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday during the months of February, March, and April.  Tuesday through Saturday hours have not changed and will remain the same as usual.

DON'T FORGET:
  • A New Beginning Embroidery Class will begin on Feb. 20, at 11 a.m.  There are two teachers, one for right handed people, and one for left handed people.
  • Search For the Stars Shop Hop is the end of April.
  • Row By Row begins in June.

    Excellent use of snow days. And we are having plenty of those lately. I agree, who needs crossword puzzles indeed. I love the look of your Garden Sampler block. The broken herringbone is wonderfully colorful. Sewing the circles I imagine takes some practice. But I love that scallop look piece you are working on.
