Perhaps I’ll call this one Candy Cane? Naming the blocks is just adding to the sheer enjoyment of stitching them! Any other ideas on a name for this one?
The back:
This has been such an odd week. With Canada Day falling on the Wednesday, Thursday felt like it should have been Saturday rather than a work day. Today I’ve got a fair bit of work to get through. The plus side of that is that as soon as I’m finished the work, I’m taking the whole weekend off. Haven’t done that in a few weeks. It will be wonderful!
Maybe I can get Smudge to show me how to completely relax!
This has to be one of my favourite pictures of Lester. The richness of the colour of his fur against the green leaves is, I think, fabulous. This picture was taken with Mr. Quilt Obsession’s camera. It’s a very thin digital camera that I have a lot of trouble holding still enough to take photos. But when I do, I’m always amazed at the richness of the colours compared to the other digital camera that I normally use.

I was going to say "Karen's Block" but then I saw "Cinnamon Drop" and I have to say that's really a much better name. 🙂

Candy Cane is a great name. The more blocks you make, the more I want to make some. Maybe I will see the book at the Creativ Festival, in Toronto, in the Fall. I found both of Linda's Quilted Diamond books there.

That's a lovely block. Have you noticed how each set of three looks like a little face with huge ears on the top? 😉
