hi, I stumbled upon this and joined the other day.  I understand you are
supposed to buy the main center block, and figured out where to do that, but
where are the patterns for the monthly blocks? thanks.w endy

Using the same color crystals or??  I assume you're planning on using the
fusible ones?  Do you have a good site to buy them?  I was considering this as
well.

I have some lovely blue green iridescent beads in two sizes, and when I'm all
done with the blocks I'll do the larger for the center and the regular seed bead
size for the small blocks.  Since I'm planning this for a wall hanging that
won't be washed often, I feel okay about beads.

Candace, I get my hotfix crystals (Swarovski) from
www.suessparklers.com This gal has booths at quilt shows.

The seed beads sound like a great idea, too.

I haven't seen any new posts for a couple of days, so thought I'd drop a line
and see how everyone is doing?  I know with the holiday, many are taking the
time to travel and just take in some R&R.  I started my block today, it's almost
3am, I haven't been able to put it down.  Guess I should go see about getting
some sleep, the rest of the house will be in in the next 4 hours.
Hope all are enjoying the 4th of July weekend.

I hope everyone enjoyed their extra day off (if you work)and had lot of fun with
friends and or family.

The temp here was well over 100 degrees so needless to say I spent the entire
weekend inside as much as possible.....But I did accomplish something.  My first
block, block 6 is finished and I've posted a picture in my album.  I'm just
learning to applique, basically self taught from on line instructions and Erin's
blog with her tutorials.  I had my issues, but for the most part I'm happy with
the outcome of this first block.  This week, I will go back and start getting
block 5 ready to stitch.  Takes me awhile to trace everything and then pull
fabric, but I will catch up with all of you.

Have a great of whats left of the 4th!
God Bless America

Wonderful block Rae...with these results your quilt will be stunning!

Blessings,
Debbie S.

Ooh, just lovely!

peace

We had a quiet 4th and I spent a lot of time appliqueing blocks 1 through 3.
Block four is ready to stitch down. My little birds don't have beaks or head
knots yet but I was too tired to work on those little buggers! Photos are
uploaded in my Bonnie's album. I'm slowly catching up! Yay!!!

Kalli, I just noticed I stitched the feathers wrong in one of the blocks and in
block four they are wrong too, but at least they aren't stitched yet! Darn,
darn, darn!!!! LOL
