PATTERN IS NOW UP AND HOPEFULLY WORKING! LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS DOWNLOADING.
Well, I am a little bit early, boys and girls. Next month may be a different story. I don't even have a design for next month. You know I am new at this designing thing. I DID NOT have a months done when I started this Block of the Month. Each month is as new to me as it is to you!! haha This one has been fun. I am a little confused with the Turkey Work. Last month I used a stitch I found named
Turkey Work (click for Tutorial) for the ground and this month I have used one named the same, but the result is a plush pile, perfect for this month's squirrel tail. As I stitched this tail, I did not feel that I was following the tutorial as it was intended. I did make the stitches around the edge as taught, but then stitched a Chain Stitch row. I then filled the middle of the tail with random Turkey Work. I was trying for a sparse hair look as the squirrel's tail has in our area of the world. I feel I should go back a put a few more stitches at the base of the tail and possibly at the tip. I did find another Tutorial that might help you keep stitches in the "right place" and the pile uniform HERE.
.........Thanks for keep up with TREE TIME.
And don't forget the Flickr Group--not many are participating, but I wish you would. It's a great way to stay motivated to stitch the blocks. I have a couple who are very dedicated and they are doing so great.!
Way to go girls. I love the changes you have made to my blocks. I also love the fact that you are making them to suit yourself. That is the first step to designing.

Love the block - kinda looks like a gum tree....
I think this may be my favorite yet. I'm contemplating how I want to make it. I haven't used Flickr Group to post pictures before. I'll look into it.
Hi from Australia, Molly! I am enjoying collecting your treetime blocks. I suddenly realized that I had forgot to download block 7 but I keep getting a message saying the address is not found- ( I tried all of the rest and they are fine) and I have just printed out the latest block. Has there been a problem with block 7???
I also want to thank you for your feathered star tutorial. I have LOVED that pattern since I saw a block in "Quilt" magazine many years ago, it was in red, green, cream and looked gorgeous ( no pattern tho) bye for now, sandy.

I join the others in not being able to get Pattern #7. I will keep checking and hope it will get "fixed". Thanks for the great patterns.
(I am a farm girl from Illinois originally, now in Texas. I remember haying days. We made sandwiches, cookies, lemonade and tea by the ton for the men.)

Thank you for this block 8. I haven't started on them yet, but a little closer to Christmas I will.
They all looks so pretty.

I fell behind a bit, just now starting on block 8, but it will be done in a day or two. Thanks again Molly for all your hard work on these. I love them all.
