3rd Block in Mystery BOM (Buttercream Summer)

I'm so excited to start the 3rd block in this series!
I haven't figured
out the name yet...
but I do have all of the applique pieces cut out
and most of them ironed down ...
ready to be placed on the block.
When I showed this the first time at the 
Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival...
I was so surprised when
2 different shoppes
approached me about carrying the pattern.
I only had one block done!!
(I do have a great wholesale business going 
as well as the retail...
but this is just the first time
someone has ordered something
without knowing what the
final product would be.)

The one shoppe is going to do it
as there own Mystery Quilt starting in
January.
The other is a quilt shoppe in Southern California.
So it will be interesting to see what colors
they offer it in!
Now you gotta agree....
these gals have some faith!! 

Have a happy day full of Stitchin!

  4. Your patterns are so incredible! Thanks for showing that large or intricate patterns are OK to do too! Sorry you had to shut down your shop, but there's a saying... what seems like a blessing may be a curse, and what seems like a curse may instead be a blessing. May you be blessed (truly) as you travel the country!
