Okay, this is the last "catch up" post of stealth sewing, but first I want to show you the June BOM Quilt Blocks. I made one on Sunday and one this afternoon. I like them both, but I thought long and hard about redoing the first one. I noticed that when I cut out the pieces for the center cross I should have "fussy cut" them so more of the birds printed on the fabric have their heads attached. (Fussy cut means to arrange the pattern pieces or the quilting ruler so that the design that you want is where you want it on the block.) The main reason that I didn't redo it is that I like the fabric, only have a fat quarter, and don't want to waste what's left.

I just bought one of those messenger bags to send Lisabeth for her birthday. Don't tell Lisabeth, but that one you made is so much prettier!!
My lips are sealed. I'm glad you think so.
