Can you believe that January is already almost half over with?  That might be a slight exaggeration but it is almost one-third over.

Happy Wednesday - Blockheads Edition 45.

Double Dutch by Jo Morton.  The quilt block, not the jump-rope game.  Did you ever play that?  I did and while I could keep a really good pace by myself, I always messed up with tandems.  And songs?  Terrible.

I'm better with the quilt block.

Double-Dutch Fig Tree Tree & Co. is a combination of Farmhouse and Chestnut Street, with a background from Minick & Simpson's Ann's Arbor.

This is Tammy's block - the fabrics are from Betsy Chutchian, Jo Morton, Lisa Bongean and French General.

As with the Fig Tree block, I substituted a different background for the corner triangles on the inside geese to add another pinwheel to the block.  These fabrics are from Snowberry by 3 Sisters and Lexington by Minick & Simpson.

Question of the Week ~ Do you have any exciting plans or adventures on your calendar for 2018?

Every day is an exciting adventure!  That's the easy answer.  I have a few trips planned and a few "maybes".  The Quilted Moose in Nebraska in a few weeks and Old Town Fabric Shop in Ohio in March.  Market in Portland?  Probably.  But since I try not to assume...

The most exciting thing I know of for sure is the ReStore and Quiltstock retreats here in Dallas in July.  I know... Dallas in July.  But it's going to be a lot of fun - quilting, stitching, fun and games and some surprises.  Lisa Bongean will be here.  So will Me & My Sister - Barbara Groves and Mary Jacobson.  The Martingale folks will be here.  And Kathy Schmitz!

ReStore is for shopowners - that's July 18-21.  Quiltstock is for you - and that's July 23-27.
