Here is my pillowcase for the1136th Transportation Unit from Maine that is going to Afghanistan.  A mother and grandmother of someone in the unit thought it would be great for the soldiers to take something from home with them.  They requested people make pillowcases with Maine wildlife.  So, how much more Maine can you get but lobsters?  I am not sure about the flames on the border piece.  The colors are perfect and you do need flames to cook the lobsters but do you really want to sleep with your head on flames? 

Here is what I am hoping to win!

October Schnibble is DONE!

Well, maybe not totally done.  I still need to quilt and bind it but the top is done and it is only the 27th.  It varies from the pattern a little.  First I reversed the colors of the blue and green in the 9-patch blocks.  I liked having the blue in the same position in all the 9-patch blocks.  Second change was the piano key border.  I really wanted more of the blue and green on the outside.  I am really pleased with the results.  Tomorrow I will post how I made the snowball blocks.  I changed that a bit also.

Cindy Lou Who

Cindy Lou Who: Everybody seems to kerbabbled. Isn't this just a little superfluous?


I am loving my Cindy Lou Who quilt althought perhaps I should name it the Stu Lou Who quilt since I am making it as a baby quilt for a little boy.  Tomorrow (I hope) will be the big unveiling.  I just need to finish the border and I'll have the top done (and here it is only the 27th of October!)
 
Cindy Lou Who: [kisses the Grinch on the cheek] Your cheek's so...



The Grinch: I know. Hairy.


Cindy Lou Who: No.


The Grinch: Greasy? Stinky? Do I have a zit?


Cindy Lou Who: No. Warm.  (and so is my Stu Lou Who quilt!)

Terry's Scrappy Heart

Here is my block for Terry's Quilt sponsored by A Yankee Quilter.  I gave it to Laurie last night.  It was really fun to make --I am pretty sure I learned how to do it from a tutorial on one of the blogs that I follow but when I tried to find the tutorial to give credit, I couldn't find it.  Sorry.

Here are the steps I took to make it.

1. Sew together red scraps to make a fabric block.

2.Cut the fabric in half and shape it into heart halves. Feel free to turn the fabric so the fabric doesn't match on the two sides.

3. Sew the background fabric on to the heart halves.

4.  Sew the two halve together.

5. Trim to size and voila!

This was so fun I think I will make a whole quilt like this.
