Here is the second block I did of the Ladies of the Sea, The Bluenose ship. I noticed that I forgot to do one of the rigging lines. I will have to do that soon.

First block

This is my first Ladies of the Sea Block, the Xebec, a pirate ship. This one took about a month to finish. I figure it will take me at least 2 years to finish. I want to take my time and do the best I can on this quilt. So, what do you think of my first block?

Ladies of the Sea

I have decided to make Ladies of the Sea, it is a hand appliqued quilt designed by Susan Garman. I drooled over it all last year and finally in Febuary I decided to take the plunge and order it as a block of the month. I am already behind but considering that I work full-time, I don't think I am doing to bad. I have one block done, one almost done and am working on my third block now. I will try to post the first block I did tomorrow.

Birthday for my BIL

My brother in law Bob is having a birthday today. I made him a birthday cake, what do you think? I need to sew up the opening on the side and will do that on the way to the birthday party.
