Hope everyone had a great weekend! I know we did, we picked up our new vehicle from the dealership. We got a new Hyundai Santa Fe, It was my husbands choice in vehicles, but I love it also. Sunday, we had a great day, working on business work in the morning and watching the Seattle Seahawks win there first Super Bowl Championship. My husband is now happy, he has been a fan since they started in 1976.
Yesterday, I totally forgot a blog post, sorry about that. I did get more done on the finalizing the website done, ordered batting for my longarm service and to sell in my store. Plus, I did get another block done on the Women of Courage Quilt.
Block 9- Mother Teresa, block starts with making 16 hour glass units. That's right we are making 16 blocks.
Once you have the hour glass made you will sew brown triangles on left side on 8 of the units and then on the other 8 units sew the brown on the right side.
You will repeat this process with the background color triangles, to finish sewing making the half square triangles.
Once your triangles are ready, sew them to the blue fabric to finish the square and press open.
The Mother Teresa blocks will look like these. 8 units with the brown in the right hand side and 8 units with the brown in left hand side. This is a easy block to complete and is pretty.
Well time to head to the sewing room to make more blocks.
Hope everyone has a great sewing day!

Yesterday, I did get another Month done on my Women of Courage Block of Month. Month 8 was "Mary Wilson". She was an Operating Room Supervisor for a field hospital on Anzio beach during World War II. She was the first woman to be awarded the Silver Star for leadership under fire.
The block is fairly easy to make, you start with the pieces, which are just triangles and squares. You are going to make 8 of these blocks.
You start with making 16 hour glass units, by sewing the triangles together.
Then you make 8 half-square triangle units.
Wants all the units are made your just need to assemble the blocks, by sewing the brown squares to half of the hour glass units, with the blue pointing to the top. Then sewing the other half of the hour glass units to the half square triangles. Making sure the blue of the hour glass is pointing to outside.
Once you have those done all you have to do is sew them together to complete the block.
The finished block will measure 9 1/2" x 9 1/2" unfinished. I'm getting closer to be able to start assembling the blocks and getting this one done.
Well off to the sewing room, so make more blocks done. Have a great sewing day!
Tina
