We Can Build A Snowman BOM: Block 8

Happy 2019!  Here it is the first Monday in January-a brand new year and a brand new block.  I am really excited to share this one with you.  As I sit here typing the snow is falling outside which makes me really happy.  We took some time this afternoon to get out and enjoy the snow and were treated to a Bald Eagle that did not mind being photographed.  I am always thrilled to see them and we saw a total of five today.  This was the only one that was not in town-the country eagle.  The rest were hanging out at one of our local parks along the lake where we have been enjoying them for several days now.

I snapped this photo in the same spot, just looking down the river. 
​It is one of my favorite spots just a few miles from our house.

We returned home to our little covey of California Quail venturing out in the backyard.

 I do have snowmen on mind...and am enjoying this sweet Christmas gift I was given...

​But I know you are anxious to see this month's block.  So without further ado, here is Block 8;
​which reminded me of a snowflake as I was designing it so I have named it "A Beautiful Sight".  This is the most challenging block of my BOM.  In the introduction I encourage you to be patient with it, and I will repeat that here.  Take your time and all will be well.  This is a chance to dig a little deeper, to take what you have been learning and use it to stretch your skills a bit.

I am thrilled to have a group of wonderful quilters testing patterns for me now.  They not only help improve my patterns but also are making beautiful blocks I get to share with you.

Romagene used some embroidery patterns on her machine to come up with this beauty.

I hope you enjoy this month's block.  Looking ahead to next month...well it just might have something to do with a certain day celebrated in February.
Until next time,

Happy Quilting!
