There are some beautiful blocks being made by members of my ~A Christmas Story~ discussion group!

Here are a few photos from the girls...

Jean's blocks so far - love that starry background fabric too!

Dot's using gorgeous red silk thread...

Most ladies began with the Joy and Noel stitched blocks. Catherine's were lovely...

..and Theresa is way ahead having finished nearly all her stitched and applique blocks...

...as well as the pieced corner blocks!

I am loving how everyone has put their own 'stamp' to the blocks! Even when using the same fabrics I did, there is still a personal flow to the stitching that makes it unique to the stitcher. :-)
The full pattern OR the BOM packs can be purchased HERE.

Thanks for the prayers are well wished for Blossom. She is still unwell with this nasty chest cold, but we think she may have turned a corner for the better today.

July's ~A Christmas Story~ blocks : Noel and Bethlehem

I'm so sorry for being a day late with the release of July's double blocks for my ~A Christmas Story~ quilt!

Of course, you're all so lovely, I know you forgive me. These past few weeks have been hustle and bustle and a few things almost slipped my mind. 

This month the two blocks are...

...and...

I think of all the blocks in this quilt, Bethlehem has become my favourite. All those little houses with lights twinkling in their windows, and the tiny sheep on the hillside, fluffy with french knots...yep, it's my fave. :-)

The pattern for both blocks can be purchased in my Etsy Shop HERE today for $4.95.

Have a look HERE at all the blocks in the quilt, and tell me which one is your favourite. :-)

I think I can say the house is ready. All the boxes are gone, everything has a home, and I'm cooking wonderful meals once more. :-)

Today I had my cortisone injection into the shaft around the tendon below my trigger finger. If this is going to work then it will happen over the next 2-7 days. I would very much appreciate your prayers.

Tomorrow I'll share with you those funny photos from my Sunday drive with Mr Elefantz on June 6th.
