PROJECTS USING THIS PATTERN  

One of seven blocks I designed to celebrate the 100th Mystery in Nov 2021 (I only showed two). We also had a drawing featuring this block. See the Four 100s block here.

Never been a drinker myself, but "99" begs for beer! 

I remember singing this all the way through just once--as a kid on a bus going to swimming lessons back in the late 60s.

​

Per Wikipedia: "99 Bottles of Beer is an anonymous sea shanty dating to the mid-20th century."

I like this cute little guy. I'm making mine into a wallhanging for a guest room.

This block makes me think of Christmas tree lots at night.

I grew up with card games.

As a kid I played... go fish . . . war . . . three different solitaires . . . contract rummy . . . 500 rummy . . . canasta . . . four kings in a corner . . . crazy eights . . . uno

Over the years with adult friends... screw your neighbor . . . pinochle . . . euchre . . . cribbage (grandma's fave)

On the computer...spider solitaire . . . freecell

Played once or twice... spoons . . . poker (never got into it!) . . . hearts . . . blackjack . . . slap jack . . . gin rummy

Too frightened to learn... bridge

And, for the past 10-15 years, we've been stuck on... hand and foot

What did you play?

A label to use for a quilt born in 2020! Or to remember the year of the plague. Whichever.

The old-fashioned kind o' lights.

When I initially designed this one, there were four birds on the branch. 

I am quite fond of this one. :D

As an ex-typesetter, I have a thing for fonts and putting words into piecing. 

I believe it was the halo fabric around Jesus' head that made me think of doing this one.

Never warmed up to camping, myself. (Well, not as a kid... as the oldest, every job seemed to come my way.) It rather appeals if it were just me and hubby, though :).

Update: After 30 years we finally did pull out the tent one last time and camped just one night in summer 2022. I didn't think it was too bad, but husband hated it. If we could have left the tent standing with a "free tent" sign on it, we would have. :D

I now live somewhere where I have seen beautiful, fresh daffodils in the spring. 

This is a modified version of a pattern I made for the ancient paper-piecing newsletter I put out over 20 years ago.

Never had one of these, but they seemed to be rather popular with knitters at the time I designed this!
