Improv Blocks

Wow. 12 days. I'm not a very good blogger, am I? I had TONS of great blog ideas last week, but I just never got around to sitting down with the computer. I guess I'll consolidate some of them, and save the rest. First, I want to introduce you to someone very special to me. Meet Maurice.

Maurice (or Mo, as we call him) is a Singer. We met my junior year in college, and I scrimped and saved for 6 months to come up with the $100 to buy him. I loved him immediately. But Mo is a grumpy old man (hence the name). He gives me fits, and I often abandon a project for several weeks just so I don't have to see him anymore. He will be featured a lot in my blog . . . probably he will be mostly associated with curse words, as he is in the house, but that's ok. He's practically a curse word himself.

Next, I wanted to show you a few blocks that I have pieced. (Have I mentioned I'm a quilter? A bad one, but on none-the-less.) I joined a group called Project Improv, and part of the group is to make improvisational blocks on your own (more about those later) and then make one Log-Cabin inspired Improv block for charity. See my two below.

Both pieced in the log cabin style, one just wonky, and one to look like a log cabin. I thought it was cute. In the next few days, I should have a button up to take you to the flicker group, I'm just working on the logistics (told you I wasn't a good computer person).

I have another few projects I'm working on, and I hope to show you those soon, if Mo cooperates.

See ya soon!
