I finished the latest block for the Forest BOM - the deer. I had thought of changing this up for the white tail deer we have here, but this reminded me of the large "black buck" that use to room our mountain for many years. It was an oath for everyone to let this handsome fellow be king of the hill for his lifetime - no hunting him was allowed!! He was truly a magnificant animal and for many years we had some very 'dark' coloured white tails linked back to him.
And block #17 - strip block - for the Favorite BOM. I may be making more of these for fillers or maybe a border.
And block #18 - Yankee Puzzle - gosh, just two more blocks for the Favorite BOM - then it's time to start putting these out on the floor, playing with a layout and borders.

A lot of pressing on the postage stamp quilt for Hands2Help. With so many seams, I really wanted this to lay flat for quilting - this is the underside of the quilt so you can see all those lovely pressed seams.
All sandwiched up and under the machine for quilting - walkingfoot and lots of straightline stitching ahead. Since this photo I have just the border to do a little quilting on and then attach the binding - so on schedule with this one. How's your H2H quilt(s) coming?

You are SUCH a busy bee!
Wow! So many great projects featured today. I'm very impressed with your postage stamp quilt. Pressing all of those seams must have taken hours!
You have been busy Sharon. I love the deer block.
The deer block is lovely. Good luck with all the pressing - that is the only problem with the postage stamp quilts!
What a busy little bee you are! Your postage stamp quilt really appeals to me. I will look forward to seeing the finished quilt. And that buck looks like the real thing...great story!
I love the face of the deer in your block! And what a great story to share, too! Your string block is pretty -- you've got busy hands going, don't you?!? :)
My goodness, your block #17 is wonderful, done in all the colors I love. The buck is great, as well and very realistic.
Wonderful projects beautifully executed. I really like that buck and the story. Thanks for sharing.
Your newest Forest block looks awesome!!! You've been busy.
Your H2H quilt is looking good. Great blocks.
The elk block is wonderful. I have elk all over my house and they are such beautiful animals.
Great block and as always you are a busy gal just spinning out more work , you amaze me !!
That looks like the elk that roam the streets in Estes Park, Colo. Nice job.
What great blocks and projects Sharon and I really enjoyed the story of your black buck! How neat that no one shot him!
What a beautiful deer block! And story!
Quilts made wits LOTS of small squares are special. You want to pull them round you and read a book, watch TV or take a nap. They're a "10" on the "Cozy Quilt Scale".
Sharon, you continue to amaze me with your beautiful animal blocks. And you have the most interesting fabrics!
That deer block is stunning, but you have given me something to think about....those string blocks as a border...wow!
You need a new banner for your blog showing the energizer bunny.....giggle.
The postage stamp looks great. So much work but it looks so worth it.
I loved reading about your black buck.It's very cool to capture his memory in your quilt block.
