I finished a new Christmas block. An angel.
There were some really tiny pieces in this one. I was surprised that I was able to hand applique them.
The snowman now hand arms and a face....lol. I wanted to show you that I finished it.
The next couple of blocks are pieced blocks.
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. We had dinner at my daughters. It was her first time cooking a turkey. She did such a great job. There were about 15 of us. Each family brought a dish. We had turkey, stuffing, ham, ambrosia, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, mac and cheese, homemade applesauce and pumpkin pie. And I'm still stuffed.
Stop back again soon. I hope to have some projects to share.
Hugs, Cathy

Sweet angel. You did well with the tiny pieces. I see you are using up some stash fabric doing the sashings around the blocks.
I remember my first time cooking a turkey. I had my husband's family for dinner. I cooked a big turkey and all the other food. It turned out fine and by the end of the day, there were no left overs. Not one piece of turkey left for a sandwich the day after,
Love the Christmas blocks you are making and angels are always nice to have watching over us! I was 19 when I cooked my first turkey and had a young husband and baby and we had moved a couple states away from family--what I remember most was that I knew there was a neck and parts in the cavity of the bird--but did not know they there was a bag of other parts in his one body cavity--it was discovered when I was taking the rest of the meat of the bones-good thing they put them in paper thingy and it was a plastic bag!!!!
thanks for the memory--
enjoy the moments, di

Hi Cathy what lovely blocks and sounds like a wonderful time you all had at your daughters place xx
Lovely Blocks! We had a Tex-Mex Thanksgiving. Something different.
Those are tiny pieces--I guess we are meant to stretch our skills with every project we do! It looks great!
Your folk art Christmas blocks are looking so cute! Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. We were just reminiscing with my daughter on Thanksgiving about the first time she cooked the turkey (about 10 years ago). I called her the day before and asked her if it was thawed. She said, "Oh yeah, it's been sitting on top of the fridge thawing since Monday." I told her to take it right out to the dumpster and then go buy another one immediately and thaw it in a sink of cold water! A few tears of angst and a day later, she served one of the best turkeys we've ever had (and nobody died, lol).
Super cute blocks!
Sounds like a perfect thanksgiving! Your blocks are wonderful!
Sweet blocks and great appliquing!
Love the angel--so cute!
Cathy, that angel is beautiful. You did a wonderful job appliqueing her. I like how the snowman has come alive. It sounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Sweet angel!
Your Thanksgiving sounds delightful.
