Well, just got the Polka Dot Blocks from the swap. Layed out on the bed but couldn't fit them all on there. Not sure if I want to put - maybe white - sashing, or just stitch them together like this. Any thoughts? Should I mix the colors up more? I was trying to run colors diagonally.

I was thinking maybe the white with polka dots for sashing - would that be too much? Will probably use the black with polka dots for binding. Opinions?

Well, here is the little dress I made from Jelly Roll Strips and a T-Shirt. It was easier than I thought it would be. I have never used the elastic thread before so was a bit nervous about using it in the bobbin in my machine, but it worked out just fine. I will add a bow or a yo yo to decorate the neckline a bit.

Meanwhile, I am working on a spiderweb block. Here is one. Will need to do more to get the full effect of the spider web.. but, this will give you the idea.

Well, the thirty Polka Dot Blocks were done for the swap and sent out. My new blocks should be arriving any day now. I can't wait to see them! The lady hosting the swap was so funny. She and a friend decided, since it was a beautiful day, to set up tables outside and sort all the blocks. Well it got windy and she said all these bright colored blocks were flying all over. They had to gather them all up, sort into original stacks and then re-sort for the swap. I can just picture them flying all over the place..... LOL!

When I get mine, I will post a picture.....

My Grandson Nick, also made a cake for the party. His choice was a Lemon Cake. Can you tell his grandfather likes to fish? Love this one too!

Hi Everyone...

Seems like it has been ages since I posted to my blog! So I will try to catch up a bit here.

My daughter made a fabulous peanut butter cake for her Dad's birthday. I love it, especially the peanut butter cups cut in half and used around the bottom of the cake.
