It was so charming. I have wanted to make one for my garden shed, specifically a "Bears Paw" block. Soon as it stops raining, I will scout the garage for leftovers to use! Thanks Connie.

Your quilt block...I've been missing you Connie. Your quilt block on the fence is so pretty, and so are your newly painted chairs. You are so creative! I just looked back at your last post too and love the pictures. Guess we both can put away our gardening tools and get ready for a long winter...excited about another spring coming. I've got to spend more time at the computer; blogging and visiting. Love, Henny Oh, I love the quilt you made for your nephew. I've gone crazy over the western look, and horses, lately. Just got to buy myself a pair of cowboy boots, even if I am too old. :)Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-1275741367976477562020-10-18T05:55:23.709-07:002020-10-18T05:55:23.709-07:00Hi Dear Connie

However, it hasn’t worked that way for me. I just now looked at all your posts back to March. I am so sorry to learn of Steve’s passing. God bless you my friend. Your strength through all this is an inspiration to me. I must say that looking back over my experience with this “blogosphere” your Crafty Home Cottage is at the top of the list of creative blogs. And I noticed you mentioned the challenges of the new blogger, let me assure you that you’re doing just fine! Thank you for sharing your blog and for recently stopping by John’s Island and leaving me such a kind comment. Very best regards to you from Seattle. Wishing you a good week ahead!<br />John<br />John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-34786196555581909632020-10-17T02:23:14.981-07:002020-10-17T02:23:14.981-07:00I like them both, but I gotta say I LOVE the chair...I like them both, but I gotta say I LOVE the chairs.
