FMS Photo A Day - January

I decided my camera was lonely so I've embarked on the Facebook FMS Photo A Day. She posts a list of categories for each day of the month; people take pictures and post them related to each theme. It's a fun way to get in the habit of keeping the camera at the ready.

I've done the first 6 days:

1.1.2017: Favorite color
1.2.2017: Delicious
1.3.2017: Circle
1.4.2017: Animal
1.5.2017: A fave thing
1.6.2017: Me

Phew - I am really out of practice!

Barbara Brackman's 2016 BOM Blocks Finished

I started working on Barbara's 2016 Block of the Month and then fell behind since the September block. It has Y seams and really stymied me, both in fabric selection and construction. I had some other projects to work on and set it aside.

The holidays founds me back at it - I really enjoyed the Bear Paw block - my first time making that pattern. I conquered my issues with September's block and have finished each set.

Pale Blocks



Bright Blocks:


I may replace some pieces in the one on the bottom right, possible including the blue background used in the upper middle block.



Now to work on setting ideas.
