Pattern to come
Our last Bill
This block was sewn by Julie Casey, a military wife living at Incirlik AB Turkey! Julie writes:"We
moved here in April and right away I found a quilting group here on the base and have
bonded with the other military wives in the group. We are doing Sue and Sam blocks and
swap each month. We make 2 each month. One to keep and one to swap. We are
down to the last Sue and "Bill", so in January we will swap our last Sue and in
Feb it
will be our last Bill."
Here's Julie showing off her block:
Overall Andy
This old block was found on e-bay. It is a great pattern.
Sunbonnet Sam
This block is a very popluar one. To piece it, I cut a strip
of fabric wide enough for the pants and another wide enough for the shirt. I sew
them together and then cut out the applique piece.
The suspender strap is a strip of fabric, with the edges folded
in and sewn in place.
Farmer Jim
This block features a cowboy-style hat and very oversized
pants. I sew the shirt to the pants before cutting out the applique. A button
at the end of the strap would have been a nice touch.
