Quilting Owl

I love making blocks and have succumbed to Barbara Brackman's "Austen Album Quilt" block of the week and here are my first four blocks "Austen Album Quilt" Blocks 1 to 4 I have also finished the latest block for the "Threads of Memory" BOM and here are the four blocks I have made so far "Threads of Memory" Blocks 1 to 4 Anyone would think it was my birthday or Christmas as some lovely gifts have come my way recently including this exquisitely crocheted beaded doily. and of course to add to the owl collection there is this lovely felt applique which is now hanging in the studio with other owls to keep it company. My thimble collection had been rather neglected of late so I was absolutely thrilled to receive these lovely additions and don't you just love the owl on the thimble in the centre.

Once again I have succumbed to the temptation of making blocks from Barbara Brackman's new block of the month "Threads of Memory".  I thought one 12" block a month would not overtax the workload and then all I have to do is make them into a quilt!!!  The historical excerpts that come along with these blocks are always very enjoyable and informative and you can find out more about this BOM  here   Block 1 "Threads of Memory" Till next time Frances
