Working on my UFO and BOM

Ok, I told you I was slow at the embroidery...here is block 7 of my UFO...I'm sorry I didn't press it before showing it but I had already turned off the iron and didn't want to walk back upstairs...I've started block 8 and am about half way finished with it now. I just had to stop and sew some tonight and rest my eyes. I've had a sinus headache all day and I'll be glad when the weather straightens out, maybe my head will stop hurting. I took some sinus pills and they about knocked me out at work. I had to fight sleep all the way home...I decided to work on Amy's BOM and get that knocked out so I can work on other things tomorrow night....I love the way these blocks are turning out. I'm using my scraps for the red and blue but I bought 4 yards for the background. I decided on red and blue like Amy...I don't think it will be patriotic, I just like these colors. I had used the Easy Angle ruler before but I had forgotten how well I liked it. It's really a snap to use and made these blocks go together so quickly. Here's a pic of my blocks. Now, back to the embroidery for awhile...

Here's my BOM from Amy's blog. These blocks went together so
well and they were fast. Thanks, Amy, for such fun blocks.

Block 1

Block 2

Block 3

Here's block 7 of my UFO...

I love your blocks. #7 is my favorite!; January 7, 2010 at 4:11 AM
