I finished the March Be Attitudes block last night.
I have more applique to do on all of these blocks, but I've done the blanket stitch around all the fused pieces so far. I pulled out the book this morning to see what else needs to be done to each of these blocks. Here are the blocks shown in the book.
I need to go thru my button jars to find buttons for these blocks. I have a package of carrot buttons, for the Snowman's nose, and lots of the plain buttons I'm sure, but I'll have to start shopping for flower buttons (May), a candy button (July) and a black triangle button (dog's nose, Oct).
I'll draw on the extra applique' that is needed for some of the blocks, and get started on those as soon as I finish the February and January blocks.
We've been watching Christmas movies after supper every night. I can get lots of blanket stitching done during a movie. In our house, Christmas movies are not what you would always think of as Christmas movies. To be a Christmas movie, it has to show a character from Christmas, or be set during the Christmas season, etc. {ex: Die Hard & Die Hard 2 (takes place Christmas Eve), Trading Places (takes place between Thanksgiving and New Years) and last night's movie Operation Petticoat (takes place between Dec 10th & shortly after the new year). Don't worry, we also watch the 'regular' Christmas movies, like The Santa Clause, and Rudolph, etc.}

ReplyDeleteCheryl did you get my email about winning a pattern of your choice from my Craftsy shop?

ReplyDeleteYour blocks are looking so cute. Won't be long till they are all done. I like your Christmas movie watching too. One of our local radio station was taking a survey on whether Die Hard was considered a Christmas movie. As of last count, the Yeses were ahead by a small margin.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are really making progress on those blocks..so satisfying to see a project progress :-). Great job!
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are looking great! We've been watching some of the regular Christmas movies around here but for the record, my boys like to think Die Hard (1 and 2) count as Christmas. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm still kickin!
