Blockheads ~ Block 33

Hello Hello! Today is National Chocolate Cupcake Day! Vicky told me that if I showed any more food pictures... my safety might be at risk. So a block with fabrics in a lovely, rich chocolate-brown will have to do. It's not quite dark chocolate... maybe milk chocolate with coffee nibs. (Vicky... you...

Blockheads ~ Block 32

October. Fall. Fall? It was on Monday, and it's expected to be in the 90s again by the weekend. Yesterday was bliss - in the 50s in the morning, beautiful most of the day. Today is supposed to be almost as lovely. Maybe we'll have Fall by next week. It's Blockheads Wednesday, v. 32. Tammy's block...

Blockheads ~ Block 31

October? That means Ma... no, I'm not going to even say it. Not yet. This is Block 31 - Dot Dash. It's by Lynne of Kansas Troubles. As much as I like her Layered Patchwork... old dog, new trick. So I go with the traditionally pieced methods. The background is from Snowberry by 3 Sisters and the...

Blockheads ~ Block 30

It’s less than one month until Quilt Market so an easy-ish block seemed in order. Fig Tree - Low Volume! Okay, so the four-patches are a little scrappier than in the pattern. I cut squares... close enough, right? As usual, the fabrics are from Fig Tree & Co. 's Farmhouse and Chestnut Street...

Blockheads ~ Block 29

Because it's Fall - or late-summer and will it ever really be fall here in Dallas? - we're enjoying anything that makes us think of the season. These are Tammy's Blockhead Blocks No. 1 through 28. She's using a big mix of scraps and pieces in fall colors. As an Indiana girl, she knows of such...

Blockheads ~ Block 28

Pumpkins and spice. And yes, it is nice. It is that time of year. These were on display at a local market on Saturday morning. There's just something about a big pile of pumpkins that says "fall"... even when it's 80 degrees. Clockwise from the upper-left... Pink Pumpkins - Red Warty Things Mix -...

Blockheads ~ Block 27

It's September! Fall! For some... it's the happiest time of year because Fall marks the return of Pumpkin Spice Lattes. And of course, a Fall color palette. These are Tammy's blocks - all 27 of them. As soon as we get a design wall hung in the office, we'll take a picture of them laid out. This is...

Blockheads ~ Block 26

It's Blockheads Wednesday and we have a mystery today! This is Tammy's Cat's Cradle block. We know that the black print is from Betsy Chutchian's Bramblewood collection, the gold is from a Kansas Troubles collection and the background is a mystery. Can you name that fabric? For my Fig Tree & Co...

Blockheads ~ Block 25

Because it's Blockhead Wednesday and since the moon was "blocking" the sun... did you see the eclipse? The caption on this photo reads - the moon transits across the Sun in this picture from Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite. (I found the image here .) I hope that you got to see just a...
