I finished block 11 of the Hocuspocusville quilt last night, this has to be the fastest finish of all the blocks I hand embroidered so far.
I will link today at

| block 11 complete |
Before I begin the last block for Hocuspocusville I am starting on a new project which gives me a break from all the black floss.
This is the first Calamoondala I will be working on, the photo shows the pattern printed on S
titch and Wash Away product ready to be centered on the fabric.
This is the second piece which is ready to be stitched, I love both templates and just not sure which one I like better for the project.
Information for the project can be found here:

Today is National Pins and Needles day
Here is a bit of Trivia:
National Pins and Needles day is a special day which remembers the 1937 play Pins and Needles, a Broadway play, which debuted 11/27/37, this blockbuster pro labor play debuted at the Labor theater
and was presented by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. The play would go on to perform 1108 times.
I didn't know what a Calamoondala was so I went off to google it. Then I kept reading and found your link...I always jump the gun, lol. So thank you for the link that I will visit as soon as I finish this comment. I really like the second template. I look forward to seeing it stitched.
