Linda over at kokaquilts featured me on her  Sew Stitch Snap Share Post. It makes me feel somewhat like a celebrity!  Go over there and see me!

I need to share a post with my week’s work.  I was busy with Foxes most of the week.  The Fox Blox were done for the monthly Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  That is until the flood destroyed our home, my sewing rooms and both our vehicles.  I lost so much, all our furniture, so many books and photos.  The whole last year of my life.  But we have rebuilt and bought more stuff.  And the box of Fox Blox somehow survived.


It is now a quilt top, with its original backing fabric sitting in my To Be Quilted pile.






I also had a chance to do some needlework on my One Road Through Town piece this week.  You can see my post about what I wanted to convey HERE.

It was an honor to be asked to be featured in this great venue.  I love it!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.  We are eating at the Grand Buffet in the Renaissance Hotel here in town and doing the family thing on Saturday.

Fox Blox

Do you remember last year?  I barely do.  That flood thing really messed me up.  It literally stole a whole year from my life.

Last January 2016 I joined the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and chose two blocks to  work on.  One was an Asterisk and the other was Foxes.  I worked on both diligently, well, every month for the most part,  OK a lot, alright?

Somehow the box that held the Fox Blox survived the flood, the  move to Charlene's house, and then the trip back to Baton Rouge.

I used to take them out each month and set them up on the design wall to see how the various colors were fitting in with the others.  They always needed to play well with the other blocks.

I decided to pull out the Fox Blox and reacquaint myself with what I had.

If I needed to fill in, I was prepared to do some piecing.

Once I got everything on the design wall, I decided it was large enough and started putting them together.










I got to this point and decided to call it a night.  i will finish this to the top stage tomorrow.  And have another UFO another step closer to a finish!

 I had these guys leftover so they will go into the backing. 

Oh, and I already have the fox backing!

And I am linking up with Small Quilts for the Monday Design Wall Post.

Rainbow Scrap Challenge

I must be feeling better with this cold thing because all of a sudden I  can see 15 ways to join in with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  I feel like I have too long sat on the side lines and watched others have fun and create those wonderfully smart blocks that I do so admire.

I want to be the one who creates those wonderfully smart blocks so everyone will admire me and my ability to sew down all the scraps in my quilt room in just under one year!  I want to  be that icon that everyone aspires to become.  I want to be that person who has walked where no woman (or man) has walked before, in the cluttered spaces of my overstuffed quilt room!

I spent the day looking for just the prefect quilt block that will take me through the year, in rainbow delighted-ness and will still be the perfect block in December when I am STILL working on the sparkly rainbow goodness.  

I have narrowed it down to 15 block.  I think i can do 15 blocks in a month.  Ok, you may be right, I will narrow it down some more.

How about 8?  More?

Ok, Ok.  2.  No, 3.  I just have to have 3........pleeeeeeease?

A fox.  Gotta jump on the fox bandwagon.

A tree.  Love love love my modern trees.  Maybe it is more like modern chopsticks......

And a "asterich" as my co-worker from long ago would call it.  "Put a asterich there and we can go to press with."

And just to prove to Frank I have not been just laying around doing nothing all day, I pushed the button on the Roomba and vacuumed the den.
