I know you're all dying to see my cheese and crackers that I made with all the fat quarters Faith gave me for Christmas last year, plus I had to add some.

Over the weekend I finished up my X-Block lap quilt.  All I have to do is put the backing on it.   Faith gave me some beautiful fat quarters last year and I'm finally putting them into a quilt now, called cheese and crackers. 

I just finished this quilt yesterday.  It's all flannel so it will keep someone nice and warm.    (click on to view larger)

I started working on this new pattern called the X-Block.  You basically cut an X in the material at a certain place and you have your pattern.   (click on picture to view larger)

Well, we finished up the last phase of the patio today.  The guys from CAM came at 1:p.m. today, along with the cement truck which also arrived at the same time.  We had 7 guys helping to bring cement back to the patio.  By 1:20 it was all poured and formed.  Rick and Bill stayed a little longer to float it.  This week Rick is teaching Bill (who's the orientee at CAM) how to do tile, brick and cement work, so our little project came just in time.  We should be able to remove the forms by Friday.

I spent a little time over the weekend sewing on my new Janome 760.  I call it my little Jem.     Also, working on a new pattern called X-Blocks which is proving to be a challenge.  When finished I'll post a picture.
