I finished up my candy cane blocks yesterday for a online block swap I am doing over at Aunt Pitty Pat's. I fused the block and then stitched really close to the edge with invisible thread. They came out really cool!
See?
You had to make a companion 9 patch block to go along with it. Here's mine.
Last weekend I took some photos when I was out in the snow.....and while I was stomping around, I found this tree!!
Pretty cool huh! I wonder what he is thinking about......probably keeping an eye out for beavers. This might be hard to believe since we live in a metro area but we actually had beavers in the stream behind our house last year. There's a green zone that's maybe a 1/4 of a mile wide behind our house and the beavers moved in for a while. Chewed down lots of trees, and then moved out. I guess this guy never recovered from the horror of seeing his loved ones chewed down to a stump. Poor guy.....
Well, I am off to do a little stitching before I get started with my day. Hoping to show you a pix of my second set of holiday swap blocks later on. This one features "Santa Claws" and its soooooo cute!
Have a great snowy day!

Your swap blocks are so cute. I also love all of your Farmer's Wife blocks.
