to share some blocks with all of you.
WHY? Why not?

SEW for the next wee while, we will have 2 blocks to introduce each week. Today it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Jean Ann Wright. What a lovely lady too, you just know right away when you make a connection, there is something "sticky" about that person... I am certainly going to stick with Jean Ann.
I have always said,
I have always said,
"Quilters have the biggest hearts and the sharpest scissors..."
(I have been working on a design for this)
She will have you cutting in no time flat...

Debby will be providing blocks too. ( very soon)

ReplyDeletegreat block and I'm real excited about this blog party! Just visted Jean Ann's blog. Dangerouse! I love mystery quilts!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a hard time finding the directions for the depression block. Madam Samm's blog says the directions are on JeanAnn's blog and when I went to JeanAnn's blog, it told me to find the block directions at Madam Samm's. Am I going crazy??
ReplyDeleteI guess I will figure the block directions for myself.
