Here is my newest Hop To It block. All clean and pressed. Remember a few posts back I mentioned using foam board to get the pattern symmetrical? Mandy has taken it one step further and has made a sand paper board on the other side. A sand paper board is a great tool to use when tracing around templates while it is on your fabric. The sand paper keeps the fabric from slipping around. Check out Mandy's tutorial
here. Thanks for sharing Mandy.
Another "pretty." A random act of kindness from
Stephanie. Some fun Denyse Schmidt fabric and some homemade lemon zest soap. Thanks Stephanie, so much!
Just left Stephanie's blog and she has a sneak peek of her first quilt she designed. Can't wait to see it. I know it will be great because she does such a good job designing bags. She has a new one
here.
With Passion,

I love that Hop To It block - I think I'm going to have to get that pattern! The sandpaper is a great idea. What a lovely gift from Stephanie!
I love your block! I made a sandpaper board a few years ago, it is great when you are making HST's and need to draw a diangular (sp) line. Ooww such nice goodies from Stephanie. I would love the soap!
Your block came out great!
What a delicious roll of fabrics.
Beautiful Carrie!!! That particular block design is one of my favorites to applique.
What a wonderful surprise in the mail, how fun is that!!
