It's Beginning to look alot like Christmas here in blog land- take a look at these blogs today, then catch up from yesterday with paper pieced blocks and more.
For some music to put you in a Christmas mood click here ( it will pop up up in another window) and then you can hop back over and listen whilst you gaze upon my Christmas blocks
I was a bit frantic as today approached! It must be Christmas :)
I have had 2 of my blocks done since before I knew about this hop and I put them in a safe place ( sounds like what I do with all my Christmas gifts too) and I forgot where I put them! Thankfully the LORD knew and He reminded me this morning- why is it we always wait to ask Him? I found the bag right where I put it after playing with my paper pieced block.
My first block is my candy block- after searching for just the right pattern- I made up my own. lotsa HST's in this one!
Next is my present block. If you are around me any length of time you know I love to wrap presents. Last Christmas, Sunshine Boy informed his mama that Aunt Bobbie says" its not wrapped without a bow"- he now has his own box of ribbons and is in charge of wrapping presents! Well, I found package blocks and I found bow blocks but I didn't find one I liked, so guess what? I made up my own pattern.
 |
| it's hard to tell from the picture (and because i forgot to press the blocks before taking pictures) but the bow is 3D |
I took two patterns and smooshed them together.
My last block is my first attempt at paper piecing. I need to add borders around it. I used the tutorial for Candy Corn over at Madame Samm's and turned it into a tree. I need to practice more ALOT MORE. I am working on bowls for the next hop and not having the best luck with them. Regina was kind enough to make me a beginners pattern. I haven't tried it yet but we will see!
Have a Merry Time Hopping thru the snow
Thanks for stopping By!

I've noticed quite a few "present" blocks in this hop so far. Yours is a nice one.
Don't get discouraged with the paper piecing. If you're like me, it will take a while for you to really get the hand of it, but then you'll love it.
Great job overall.
