Now on to our sew day:

Ladies, ladies, ladies, and gents...you have all done outstanding work on the TOM (Technique of the Month ) blocks. We played around a bit with layout and we have received so many gorgeous blocks that with the blocks we have and those to come in the next few months, we will be able to make at least one bed size and most likely a throw size quilt. So, keep them coming!


These are not all of the blocks done so far, just what we could fit on the design wall.

Several were getting their EPP on:
