Well Auntlets, we’re on month 4 already, can you believe it? We’re more than half way on the big blocks — we’ll have this quilt done before we know it! I know I’m ahead of our reporting date on the 15th of the month, but I thought I’d report in a little early for Valentine’s Day.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!
So … my blocks for this month. The applique block:
And then the two pieced blocks (Oops, it looks like I did a little funky cropping on these pics — the blocks really are ok though):
And here’s a closeup of my little animal of the month. Finally, a sheepie!
Now for the Cookie of the Month. Of course, it HAS to be a Valentine cookie. We have a family sugar cookie recipe, but I saw this one on Pinterest the other day, so I thought I’d try it.
This cookie is big (I made mine even bigger than they called for in the recipe) and soft and yummy with a cream cheese frosting. I really liked this cookie, but TheManoftheHouse said he prefers a more traditional sugar cookie. He isn’t a cream cheese fan.
Okey Doke. That’s it. I hope you Auntlets are having fun and working hard on your blocks (and sorry — since I have limited computer access on my little getaway, I can’t link up to everyone who is caught up this month ;-( ). Have a VERY Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
XOXO,
Anna
The quilting is darling-I love the sheepie! :) But now I’m hungry for those cookies! :) As always, some lovely color to our gray, snowy day, here. Big hugs! :)
pretty blocks – it almost makes me want to start in – no – I am resisting LOL – I have too many going on as it is!
I really want that quilt. Love the cookies too. I don’t think I’d turn that one done even though I am more of a traditional sugar cookie lover too. I never met a cookie I didn’t like (unless it had coconut in it). HAHA
This post is simply scrumptious!! Your gorgeous block, the little sheep and those coooookies look sooo sweet and yummy!
nice block……….lovely colours…………
yay, a sheepie x
I hope your adventure is somewhere warm! Or is it QuiltCom… um? Sighing over your Auntie blocks. Just love what you are doing, especially that sheepie!
I love the little details in the quilt, that red sheep is adorable. And a cookie with milk goes very well with crafting, always.

Can I just say I thought of you twice today? First on Pinterest-an adorable sheep pic-and then on Twitter-It’s the Chinese New Year-the year of the sheep! :) Big hugs sent!
Dang sister that is one cute block and your choices really make it so cute. Boy I’m really liking these lighter fresh colors – what’s happening to my dark side lol. Love the cookie and I’ve been tempted by recipes like that. Maybe I should break out the mixer and actually try making them lol – naaaaaa – I’ll just pop on over and enjoy one with you :).

It’s the year of the sheep, there had to be a sheep somewhere ;o)
The blocks looks gorgeous – beautiful applique!
