Terri and Cindy stayed the night last night and we are headed to Gruber's for a little quilt retreat this weekend. We will be meeting up with several other fabulous bloggers to sew like crazy for a few days. I'm so excited at the thought of sewing to the din of something besides bickering children for a change! (Ha!)
Happy Friday!

My online group "SewScrappySewHappy" is doing a block like this. Here is a link to a tutorial and some more inspiration pictures:

She's adorable! Have a wonderful weekend -- can't wait to see what you will be working on!
This block is cute.
Have a great time with your friends.
Hahaha...cute, cute! I'm doing a one-on-one swap with an online bud from Australia and we are doing this same block only it's two of them holding hands...and they have hair!;)
A whole quilt of people with a few houses, trees and pets thrown in would be awesome!;)
ps...I have that new book you are in....I need an autograph!;)
As an a mature women, \you blow me away, I chuckle at your blogs, just love them
This is adorable. There is a whole quilt of these little dolls and houses in Material Obsessions. The quilt is more like a recipe than a pattern. I bet you will mix a whole batch with great success.
Enjoy your quilting time away.
She is cute, but definitely a block head... a real square, which in my day was a bad thing... don't know what it is now.
Que bloque tan simpático.
Awesome block! Have a great retreat!

What a blast the weekend was retreating again with y'all amazing quilty bloggers ;-)!!!! On the plane now and typing surreptitiously so the flight attendants won't yell at me;-).

Hope you had a great time on retreat this weekend. I hope to do one of those someday, too. :)

Love your blog!
So adorable! This block is even better in person, and made me want to try making one too. You inspire me to make something I probably wouldn't have tried before.
Cute! Good to know you did it without paper piecing. Really not my thing!
Hi Amanda, it's Stephanie. This is such a cute little block!
You could use a block like this if you were making a quilt for someone and wanted each block to represent a person. Of course, you would have to do a different kind of block for guys.
If you like to piece ladies, here a nice video by Kumiko Fujita:)
