Vintage Valentine Block #7

 

One of 12 blocks, this one is #7. It measures 15" x 15" and is made of top-quality cotton. The pieces are fused in place, then buttonhole stitched around using matching cotton thread. All the thread tails are drawn to the back and rethreaded through the existing stitching to prevent and unraveling. It would make a great pillow, wall hanging or the start of something larger. Come and visit me at zizzybob - Etsy where there are several more Vintage Valentine blocks.

The Best Photo Ever

 This picture was taken last April while on a cruise. There are not many pictures of me, probably because I usually look like death in all of them. But this is by far, the best picture of me since my high school yearbook picture. And to make it even better, my son is in it wearing his tux.
