Second, and my very favorite, is the Home Is Where the Heart Is BOM that I'm making with my good friends, Joy and Yvette. As you know we get together once a month and pick out fabric and fuse them on the background. Then we go home and "do the applique dance". Then, we each take delight in blogging the results for all to see. Here is my February block.
I especially liked the dog and the cat. However, since my dog fabric was dark brown you couldn't see the eyes if I would have used black embroidery floss like the pattern called for so I decided to use yellow instead. This really set off the eyes. I think I'm getting better at the handwork and am thinking I might be able to do handwork after all, but only in short sessions.
and just like Joy and Yvette did, I just had to take a picture of the January and February blocks together to see how they would look next to each other. I'm really liking these !!!
Ok, so now to go elevate my foot ! If any of you haven't heard, I broke my right ankle on Feb 17th...which has been a real PAIN ! However, the good news is that I was put in a Cam walker (a boot and not a cast) so I can take it off to sleep, shower, etc. SIGH !!! Such is life !
All my love,
Karene

I can't believe that anyone can be as talented as you are! I wish I could make quilts like you do!!!! I used to do counted cross-stitch and found it so relaxing. Now days I don't have the time.

Pretty! :)
Oh how cute! I love the dog/cat on the Home Is block!! And your Tiskit Tasket is just gorgeous!
I am also really looking forward to the next one in the series. Maybe there will be shamrocks in the basket?
I have to get my "homework" done on the Home Is block for March - you guys are way ahead of me!

Those came out fantastic! I am so lucky that I got to see them in person.
Elevate that foot so you are ready to go on March's blocks.
