Blogger's Block of the Month and more.

We are up to month 9 of Bloggers BOM and this month the block was designed by my friend Cathy of Cabbage Quilts.

Cathy created a jewel box block.

Here are my 2 blocks. The first in repro style fabrics.....



....and the second in brights.


It has been a while since I photographed all my blocks together, so here they are.








If you would like to see the blocks that other bloggers have been making there is a flickr group here with lots of great photos.


While I was sick I started crocheting a cowl for my DD. I has been a very long till since I did any crochet and it is amazing how quickly everything came back. Here is a photo of my progress. It will be a little wider and I will add more edging to the other side as well.


 Currently I am working on a Friends of Baltimore block. Today I plan to start adding buds to this block.





It is the second day of winter here. It was a cool start this morning. Now the sun is shining and it is looking like a beautiful day in Melbourne. 
Have a great weekend. :)

  2. I love the two versions equally, how neat to see them all together. Crochet looks very good, I got very rusty after years of not doing any but it comes back. Great progress on your applique.

  8. You do such beautiful work. The cowl is lovely.
    I usually go with repros, but your brights are dots - they always make me smile!
    After severe thunderstorms Thursday night, we enjoyed a lovely weekend.

  13. Miriam,
    I am way behind on catching up with blogs. I just read your latest posts and love all the projects you are working on! I haven't crocheted in years either but may have to give it a try again. So glad you are feeling better! Stay warm with winter over there!
