                    Happy Almost End of April

It's Fri-Yay!

 I did go down for Scrap Day. 

Eddie was out of town.

The street that we liked to park on is fenced off.

The city is taking that street and making a Park.

The bridge will be taken down and just a 

Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge will be built

They turned the Parking direction in the 

 Powered by Fabric lot. 

Only one Exit from the Parking lot now.

I was glad that I showed up early! 

There's a big Tree that is being removed.

Sad for that!

And the call it Progress...?

Anyway!

Here are the Blocks I made while there.

I started at the Back of the book this time.

Wreath

Warm Hat

Vintage Pinwheel

After making the fiddly Wreath Block I chose two less tiny parts blocks to make.

I see now that I'm home that I used a different background with these three blocks. oops!

I'm using my scraps from the Christmas in July SAL I did last year with Fat Quarter Shop.

Had to see how many I've made for my Vintage Christmas Quilt.

11 of 35 Total 6.5" blocks to make.

I missed the Christmas Sew Day in April yesterday.

No Christmas in June Day this next month...

More to come between now and Christmas in July!

Next Blocks are either a Gingerbread House or a Vintage Ornament"

Gotta fill in the blank spots and have this one done for Christmas this year, lol.
