No tree in my block, maybe another Helen?

Oh Helen, I am so sorry. I don't know how I did that, but leave it to me, to mess it up. It was meant for helen31406. Thank you for checking on me & letting me know.

I can't wait to begin the next block.

Hi Helen,
I just gave you a compliment on another Helen's Church block!! Don't know how I did that, but I wanted you to know that your block is beautiful. I just love your appliqued tree & other embellishments. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.

You were so nice to take the time to explain the procedure. I read about paper piecing before I tried it so I did not cut my fabric small. I still made mistakes. I think I do waste fabric, but it is a necessary evil until I get the hang of things. Please accept my thanks as a newbie for taking the time to help us out. I love when people are nice -- just because they are nice:)

I love your church. I was thinking about doing a snowy scene for Jan and then do some sort of idea for each month.

I love it.
