What a great response to my blog last week. The results were very close, but Pointed Tile has won first in line! I made my first block yesterday and here is the result. It measures around 7 1/2″. While I was working on it, I realized a smaller block with just 8 pieces would be a great option, too.

When producing a new stamp it is important to me that everything fits correctly and neatly. This particular stamp was designed to use the small D square and B triangle from the Sawtooth Star set of stamps around the edge. They fit perfectly.
I’ll be working on it in the next few weeks, so stay tuned! (And for those of you that voted for the other designs, they are close behind.)
Many of you love the spring as I do. It has finally come here in the mountains! We had a fierce storm the other night, but even now the birds are calling and the sky is clear enough to share some pics from our new house. The former owner was an avid gardener and since we bought in the winter, the surprises are popping up everywhere!
A cardinal sings in the dogwood tree.
Maybe the cardinal is looking at the old nest site in the “saucy magnolia” that just bloomed. (See the old nest hidden in the branches.)

In the front of the house is a pink dogwood.

I’ll leave you with a picture of the front of the house. I’m going out to garden!
Spring in the mountains.
