I find that if I don't make my guild block-of-the-month right away after receiving the pattern, I'll tend to forget about it and not get it done. This (above) is the pattern I picked up on Monday for the drawing at our November meeting. It's a new take on the traditional spool block. It was very easy to make.
I also picked up a few kits (above) to make Quilt of Valor blocks of Craig H., our QOV chairman. Craig does a great job of heading up our guild's efforts for this very worthwhile project. If you don't know about Quilts of Valor, check it out. Your guild, or even just you personally, might want to get involved.
My excellent cleaning lady just broke the news to me that she's going back to her desk job. Her children are old enough now that they don't require as much attention, and her back has already started giving her problems. So I'm losing the best cleaning lady I've ever had. But she's hooking me up with a friend of hers. Cheryl has set the bar pretty high. I'm going to miss her.

What an interesting spool block and well done in completing it so quickly. Now where will you put it so you can find it when it's time to go to guild again?! Will it be in your guild tote bag? Will it be in plain sight on your design wall?! It might be helpful to leave a post-it note on your calendar for next month. That is my method for helping me not forget thing. You should see the December page of my calendar for all the notes that go on next year's calendar.
Sorry you're losing your delightful Cheryl but I hope her friend does an equally good job for you. Hope Cheryl's back feels fine soon.
Hugs!

That's a great block. I never sign up for those things because I'm the same way -- get the pattern and then put off making the block.
Man, I'd be lose if my cleaning lady ever left me! Sure hope the new one is up to snuff.
