October Block- Spooky
The theme was "Spooky." You have to love that, right? The color I had to incorporate was yellow.
When I first heard the theme my thought was, "Boo!" I looked around at other things. I thought of making a ghostie, or a full moon. I didn't get around to it until way late. I was scared to make the letters without a pattern. (Why? I have no idea. If I have learned anything in the last three years (can you believe it??) it is that all these silly things I build up in my head are much easier to actually do than imagine. Remind me that next time I am stalling on something.) In searching the glorious, full of information, world wide web, I came across a person (who I have lost now- blerg!) who said something simple and brilliant like, "Most letters are made using the idea of a log cabin block." At which point I cut some strips and sat down at my machine with the iron on behind me.
I love this one. Only the radishes come close in how I feel about the completed product. I hope my partner likes it too.
