Here it is, block 4 of Gifts of Grace. I'm really starting to like these. They look great in real life. I've decided now to wait to put the beads on. Guess I was just impatient at first to try it. This block is definately for me.
There is currently a sale down at the LQS that is unbelievable. We can take in fabric from our stash that we've decided we don't want to use, as long as it's good quality and good designer, and they'll give us a $5.00 credit per meter. We can also exchange for brand new fabric. Most of their fabric sells for $14.95 a meter so that's less than 1/2 price. Then they are also selling the traded in fabric at $5 a meter if anyone would rather have that. I'm sure I have a few meters down there I could use as a trade in. I want to do the free quilt that the Rabbit Factory has on it's site. I've been downloading all the blocks just waiting until I had the time to start it. I've realized it matches the Rabbit Factory wall hanging I have on our wall so I want to get some background fabrics that are close to it and it will tie it all together.
See, Patience is worth it *LOL*
I am in soooo much pain. Because it is so damp here in the winter, plus we live near the coal port so everything gets covered in black dust that builds up over the year, we need to powerwash the front of the house, the deck and the patio every year. A few days ago I did the front steps, railing and a bit of sidewalk. Today I did the front of the garage and the driveway. My back is killing me! I wanted to get it done before I put up hanging baskets or other flowers so I didn't have to move them. Now I can go out to the Nursery tomorrow.

Great block ,I must get mine posted.
Do take care of yourself don't over due it ,the weather here is so warm ,we haven't been doing anything outside .
Lovely, Shirley! I need to get back to some embroidery work... Too many projects, too little time! Your block is really pretty!
That block is great, just right for me too. I hope you don't have any more power washing to do. We have a coal plant here almost in our back yard and we get the same thing. Go to the sale too, sounds like a good one.
Your new Blog background looks great.
Love your block too. Gee you get cheap fabric in the US.
Hope your back gets better soon and you do not have to do anymore house washing for awhile.
I just saw this block on someone else's blog, too - I love it! Probably my favorite so far.
Hi---love your block---can you do mine for me now??? I even have it all prepped for you!!!
Sorry about the 'back'--but you have alot of company on that score--like me!!!
and I am with you on the reading of books--I hate the I love him--but can't tell him/I love her--but can't tell her---and the whole book is on that and how they "finally" admit they love each other in the end---I want some action--mystery--something to make me turn the pages and keep reading and not go back to my quilting!!! (ps--no wars--no blood -- no violence please--the world is already full of that!!!!)
Hugs, Di
Great block. I just saw that on Hazel's blog. Take it easy, and take care of yourself, and try not to over do it.
