some machine piecing, and some hand work to relax with.I had seen some fellow bloggers posting photos of their Capricorn Quilts Block of the Month. You can see Jeanne's here and Connie's here. Bea of Capricorn Quilts is posting a new hand stitching pattern each month...and it's free! I had printed out the patterns for January and February and had purchased some DMC varigated floss so I was all ready to go. I used the Roxanne's Quilter's Choice pencils that Meredith gave me and they worked great to trace the pattern. I really enjoyed using the varigated floss and was able to finish January's block, while listening to all the good discussions going on into the wee hours of the morning! I got a good start on February's block, which is good because the March pattern is already posted and I better get going!

Love it Kathy. They're all wonderful. What will you do with the completed monthly hand stitched patterns? Maybe you already mentioned this and I just missed it?
I love your Quilter's Blessing. I haven't started stitching any of the blocks yet. I plan to though. Great job on Carolina Crossroads and your Bargello. You had a very successful retreat.
It looks great, Kathy! Isn't it fun? The varigated floss is a great idea.
Really cute! Good you had a lovely retreat!!!!
