Two Lips


For the past year my Applique Society group has been exchanging "two lip" blocks. We chose a very easy pattern and a different color each month. At each of our monthly meetings our members would bring in several blocks in the chosen color. The blocks could be entered in the raffle or could be donated to become a charity quilt at the end of the year. Depending on how many blocks were entered several people could be chosen to win the blocks in the raffle. A block would be drawn out of the bag of entries and if it was yours you would win all or some of those in the bag.

Last month we brought out all the "common good" blocks that were to be assembled into charity quilts. We are making small lap quilts. I decided to take a group of "non-traditional color" blocks and assemble them. Pictured above is my final product.

Happy 27th Birthday Sean.

This is a picture of Sean and his sister. This is my favorite time. For one month only, it appears I planned my children two years apart. In reality they are 13 months apart.
