So I don't know what is happening with Blogger but I haven't touched anything. Rats. And when I go to the dashboard I don't understand a word of the computer jargon. It amazes me that I can spend so much time on this computer yet really understand so little.
I have finished with English for the summer. Yeah! Playing games with the kids. Going out to yummy lunches with the ladies. I'm still doing patchwork though. Rumor is that today Mrs. Okutomi is coming from far away and bringing the bazaar quilt that we asked her to machine quilt.
I finished another Alabama Beauty block in dark colors (the one with the yellow sparkles.) I'll forget about those for a few weeks.
I'm not really finished with this July BOM. It needs a 4th of July flag and the words"celebrate" but I'm debating about leaving this as it. For one, no one in Japan is going to understand what the "4th" flag is supposed to be. For another, this wasn't really a great week for celebrating... Still, I might be in a more festive mood when I get back to Japan at the end of summer. Anyway, this is going in the done pile.
And last night I spent quite awhile making directions for the Star Within A Star block that I will ask my patchwork friends to make for a block swap. This will be our newest game and our homework was: prepare a box for collecting blocks, make a block of our own as a sample, and provide templates and directions to be passed around. I didn't check this after I drew it all out so I sure hope it is understandable to my friends...Off to patchwork! (and then spend the next two days frantically cleaning and packing!)

I had problems with comments, too, and noticed the same on some of the other blogs I visit regularly. Mine seem to be OK now.
Your blocks are beautiful. I love the basket and the sheep.
I am having problems with comments too. Something is surely wrong over at blogger!
You are so busy I don7t know how you find the time to fit all your quilting in. I love looking at all the things you've made.
You are not alone in having trouble with comments - I'm experiencing it too, as are a lot of others. I think it's just a blogger glitch, I'm sure it will resolve itself.
Love your new block, and your new BOM block. You don't have to put a flag there. Make it your own.
Love the star within a star, can't wait to see how you all do!
Looks like you use a template for the star in the star. I was hoping you measured and cut with a rotary cutter when making it. It is such a cute block but I don't do templates. If you want to figure out rotary cutting instuctions I would sure like to have them.
Love your blog.
Hi Tanya,
I really like the star within the star block.
Have a safe journey to the States.
I love the block you made too.
Regards,
Anna
I haven't noticed any commenting problems, but I haven't been paying much attention lately either. Your directions look wonderful. Did you tell your friends how big to cut the pieces?
How big is your star in a star block when it is finished?
You could make a little Japanese flag for July's block or even one of each and instead of celebrate put Tanya & Tetsu. Wouldn't that be neat???
It always take me at least 2 attempts to leave a comment...but once I get the first one in, it all goes very fast for the next ones.
