The Wilcox Family

This is a red work piece I bought at Old Faithful this summer I used the fabric left over from the snowman quilt to make the pinwheels and borders. I was using a denim needle, and the machine kept getting gummed up, so I went to the store and bought a size ten needle, and a quarter inch foot.  Can't believe I lived this long without one!  :0) It is a wall hanging and measures 13 x 16 inches.

Because of my wonderful heritage, and because I drive a red truck, I totally personalized this one!  The snowmen are all Mexican, and the Utah Mom bumper sticker is there, and I added the U hubcaps.  I think when it is quilted, I'll add hair to the driver!  I love it!

Block 7 Held by Chris Wilcox Who thinks I can get Block 8 completed before the  beginning of October? Then I'll be caught up and when the final block arrives I'll be able to do it and, voila, I'll be finished.

Here they are:   Block 5 Block 6 My applique techniques are getting better.  I know why they call it a block of the month.  It is so much easier to think of doing a block a month rather than a block every day until you're caught up! Next up:  Blocks 7 & 8 and then I'll be caught up.  The final block comes in October.  Please don't remind me how close October is.

This block went together quickly.  I changed it up and added a script "noel" instead of a block "noel" because I thought loopy would be better than blocky with the steam coming from the hot chocolate.

Here is block number three.  It is cute.  I do not like doing the chain stitch and think it is a poor choice for the lettering.  I don't think I'll use it again for lettering if it is suggested.  I'm still having fun.  Three blocks to go til I'm caught up, but wait, August is tomorrow, Block number 7 will be arriving, yikes!  :0) Emily is my holder.  Love those nails!

It was bigger and more time consuming than I thought it would be, but I love it. (I think I need to clean my camera lens.)
