Got my computer back so I can now post my maple leaf block. I hope. Still not keen on it and I'm waiting to see if there are any more in the pipeline before I spend any more time quilting it.

Just made my first leaf.
Only making them one at a time - I know the slow way but this has come out not too bad

13 August, so thought I’d better get one done. Here is my bear claw block, which went fine, but I notice a few claws might be less than sharp once the block is sewn in  -<

Dear BOMHOF curator.
I know I may have been somewhat less than enthusiatic about the Maple leaf block, but I'd rather like my 60 little bits to appear in the gallery when you've got a mo. Please ma'am  :) Thank you kindly.

..and here’s the second block: the maple leaf. I’ve done these before, but not so tiny!  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]   Not sure why my stems turned out so sturdy- my seams must have been too narrow, I suppose.

My plans changed today. I found it was far too hot to stay in the greenhouse this morning so I went into my sewing room instead and finished my first block for August. It was lovely and cool in there. :)

Had to piece each of the 4 1/2" squares as I'm rapidly running out of fabric. I did order more white and green from a new-to-me online shop - Eclectic Maker. Ordered Wednesday evening, delivered Friday morning - excellent service. :D Unfortunately the purple I ordered turned out to be plum. :S Not their fault - it's difficult to tell on the screen.

That's lovely @Kenora . I know what you mean about on screen colour.  I've never received the colour I thought I was getting when ordering on line. Unfortunately it's often the only way to get anything even close to what you need.

I've made a start on both of my blocks for this month.  :)
This morning I was cutting my pieces down to size when I sliced into my thumbnail with the rotary cutter. It just broke through the nail and there wasn't much blood.
Serves me right for leaving my thumb sticking out when the cutter's heading in that direction.
This is the opposite thumb to the one I sliced into with the freak accident from the sellotape dispenser.

Honestly, I don't know what's wrong with me lately.  :facepalm:
