And the second prize was for the block I made from September's 
mixer game...my partner and I each had to make a block using the orange fabric squares we were given at the September meeting and bring the block back to the October meeting. I used a block pattern from The Quilter's Cache which is a great website for hundreds of free patterns. I picked out a paper piecing pattern for a 6" block called "Fox and Geese". Somehow my block didn't end up looking exactly like the diagram, but close enough! The fabric square in the middle is from a 1/2 yard piece of fabric that my husband just brought back for me when he was in Vermont! I thought I could spare a tiny bit for a worthy 
cause!

Love the block you made.
I love removing the paper from paper piecing. I find it very therapeutic for some reason.

Congratulations on both your blogging anniversary and your winnings last night! Your block is beautiful. Keep up the good work. Judy
I love your block. And the point protectr what a neat idea. I need one for my seam ripper I have hanging around my neck.
I love that block! As far as paper-piecing, this it produces great results, but oh removing that paper!
That point protector is really, really cool. I've not seen one of those before.
Hey, Kathy,
That point protector is a great idea, especially for the little stork applique scissors. I broke the tip off one of mine by dropping them. As usual I really enjoy keeping up with your different projects. Love the little block.
Another Judy
