Carrie Hall Sampler Block

This is the 3rd from the last block for the applique sampler quilt I am working on. I am thinking maybe I will be able to piece the blocks together soon and then will be able to work on the border. Have not decided what I am going to do for the borders yet, need to see the blocks together, I think. I have finished the Aug #1 LWR and need to pin, tie and bind Aug #2. Will pin it tomorrow as Tom will be going to CA and AZ.
 

Our Eagle


This eagle has been visiting our neighborhood all summer. Here he is in a large dead tree in the yard next to ours. Not the best pics, sorry but he is really up high.

Finished this applique block and am now working on the last three blocks. I will post pics as I finish. I have also finished both Aug2011 LWR tops and one is pinned. I will try to post pics of those also. I have also been trying to find fabric for close to $3 a yard or less on line and have been able to buy and cut enough into 8 1/2" squares for 6 more LWR quilts.

LWR

This is looking down on my sewing area. Blue and White is the Lutheran World Relief quilt July #2, I need to tie with the white and bind it. LWR Aug #1 has been started, it is a mixed bag of squares. As you can see I have a lot of different projects in all various stages, I bore easily!! C
