BOOT BASH BLOCK OF THE MONTH #11

Well, kids--we are getting close to the end.  I have to say that it has truly been a roller coaster ride for me.  I don't work well under pressure and towards the end, that is truly what I have been working under.  This is usually a wonderful outlet for me, but when I don't have the time, it becomes a stress issue. 
Block 11 is now almost stitched, but as last month, I am giving you the pattern before my stitching is quite through.  I wish, like the big designers, that I had some little stitching elves to help me stay on top of this, but with pay being zip, that ain't gonna happen.  Love to all of you who have stuck with me. 

Here are three western pillowcases that I have made in an attempt to decorate my back bedrooms for my two grandsons.

So fun and quick--You should try one.  Here is a link to LITTLE BIRDIE SECRETS and there is also a video on You Tube.

MY OWN BLOCK OF THE MONTH? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I have enjoyed all the wonderful free Blocks of the Month this year and often thought how great it would be to play payback. I have always loved to draw, but never thought I was very good at it. My stuff seemed to always look remarkably like someone else stuff. I sure don't want to be accused of stealinsomeone elses design. I promise you I drew this all by myself. I wasn't even looking at an image when I drew it. I am planning for each month to be a boot appropriate for the month that includes applique and embroidery. This block is not finished. Mostly the embroidery is missing. I would love to hear your first impressions. Please don't be kind. I want to know honestly if you would devote your time to this BOM for a year.


Hope your August is going great and you are getting all your activities in before school starts. That won't be long!! The recent rains we have had in Texas have made all look beautiful which is so unusal for this time of year. If you are visiting us remember that our Augusts are unually dry dry dry and not green with everything blooming as it is now. ENJOY and thanks for dropping by Molly's Place.
