"Gamma, Gamma, what's that?" "It's a flannel board Cubby." I guess even with digital computer programs and Pinterest, etc., sometimes the old fashioned toys are still the best. Cubby stayed occupied for a long time (in 6 year old terms) manipulating shapes on the flannel board. He didn't have enough circles for wheels. He picked the fabric, a few snips and done! It's a car of course!
Claire is busy in the kitchen making chocolate kiss peanut butter cookies. One of her co-workers has found a new job and they are having a good-bye celebration. Claire's gotten quite the reputation as the Betty Crocker of the group and these cookies were a special request
We had a sign-up event last week for students to choose their dorms for next year and I was unable to attend the last block exchange. After conferring with JanG., we figured out the proportions for the leaf blocks to go with my pansies. Here are a couple in progress. The flower blocks are scattered (as they would be in nature) and not aligned in rows. My next challenge is to figure out how to get the blocks together with the least amount of set-in seams.

Nice car - somehow you need to make in into a little wall hanging.......
Say hi to Betty Crocker from me!!!
I agree with Linda - the car needs to be sewn into a quilt block!
I love what you're doing with the green leaves to go with your red flowers. This is going to be a striking quilt!
