ketchup

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments I got on my Japanese Scrap Challenge entry, the game thingy - if anyone can give it a better name that'd be great too!  Sarah @ Pings & Needles has been feeling a bit under the weather, so the voting hasnt started yet.  Look out for that on Wednesday!

I'm in rather a good mood - I got my (late) bee blocks off to Susan, I am working on a trial run for October (more on that later), I got Japanese Scrap Challenge finished, and getting a bit of a reminder yesterday from Hadley and Susan, I got some charity blocks done last night and today.  Finally!  I kept meaning to last month but just never managed to get them done.  However, man is away on a course for a week so I am really enjoying not needing to be in the kitchen and getting a nice bit of sewing done.  Also helps that the outside temperature has really dropped and he's not here to put the fire on ;-)
So, here we have two Disappearing Nine Patch blocks for Judith who's running Bee Blessed which you can read more about here



And secondly, I did 4 wee blocks for Karen at Listen to the birds sing  for her Kind Stitches Bee.



Click on the links for both or either if you think you could make a block too!  

Now, I think I'm off to wrap up in a quilt and see if I can have some ideas - I need a Modern Christmas Table Runner, and a kick ass "pillow" (cushion to you and me) cover...  Hmm all that brainwork... must go find some chocolate.  I cant for the life of me remember how non smokers "think"...

    Lovely blocks! Hope your pondering paid off - try a cup of tea and a biscuit if the chocolate and quilt don't work! (Oh, and well done for still being an ex-smoker!)

    Lovely blocks, they are on my list, thanks for the reminder. And watch out for the chocolate while quitting smoking, it can be unkind to the fit of your jeans, ask me how I know! Good for you, by the way, on the quitting!
