I first came across the African queen block in 2017. The newest one I hunted for the pattern/tutorial but found nothing. I drafted the pattern. First scribble Dimensions Background I made a block. It was midnight. I was dying to share it with someone who could share my enthusiasm. My first sister block I called Bernie on the west coast, knowing that she was likely to be awake. True to my expectations, Bernie was a mountain of encouragement. Bernie: I'd be happy to sell it in my Etsy store. Me: You are very kind. Internal Voice: It is not your pattern. You should not be profiting from it. Me: I drafted it. I refined it. I perfected it. Internal Voice: Not from scratch. The idea was someone else's. Me: Profit or not, I want to make more of thee blocks. Internal Voice: Go ahead. By the time RSC2019 came along, the design had been modified, several outrageously loud fabrics and been acquired and I was ready to churn out these lovely ladies on a regular basis. And I did. The Ladies in Red I experimented with various skin tones - freckles and age spots too. The ladies were received with universal appeal. I beamed with pleasure. Sunshine Ladies Even the closed palms were met with approval. I danced with joy. Aqua Maidens Here is a sample of what you said. There were several requests for a pattern/tutorial and the internal dialogue began all over again. One thing was abundantly clear to me - IF I shared the pattern it would be free. But I still struggled with the question - Do I share it with the world? An email from Mary and another from Nikki goaded me. The final decision came after a phone call with Mari. These ladies are very popular. There is no way you can keep them all to yourself, said Mari. If you don't share this tutorial, someone else surely will. The credit for naming goes to Cathy, who very wisely said "your lady blocks have morphed from African women to International Sisters" So here it is. Without further dialogue, internal or otherwise, I present the tutorial for the International Sister Quilt Block. International Sister Block Showing Finished Sizes Fabric Requirements Dress One square 7" side (skirt) Two rectangles 1.5" by 4" (sleeves) One rectangle 2" by 2.5" and One rectangle 2" by 4" (headdress) Face and Hands One square 2.5" side (face) Two squares 1.5" side (palms) Background Two rectangles 1.5" by 3.5" Two rectangles 3" by 7" Instructions All seams are 1/4". Press all seams open. 1. Fold the two squares (palms) in half, (wrong sides together) along the diagonal and press to create a crease. Place RST on the top corners (one aligning with the top left corner and one with the top right corner) of the small background rectangles. Sew on the crease. Cut 1/4" from the crease, discard the corners and press seams open. See pictures below. Aligned with left and right top corners Pinned Stitched Trimmed Pressed This was the trickiest step. It is all downhill from here :-) 2. Add the sleeves to the palms. Press seams open. See pictures below. Add sleeves Pressed 3. Sew the headdress to the face. Press seams open. See picture below. Face and Headdress 4. Arrange all the pieces on the board. Closed Palms If you switch the sleeves (left to right & right to left) you will get the open palms look) Open Palms You must decide whether you want palms open/closed before you add the large background rectangles to the sleeves. In this case, I am proceeding with an open palms block. Almost done 5. Sew the left sleeve to the skirt and the right sleeve to the head. One more seam to go 6. One last seam and we are done. Yes, please Press seams open for a neat flat finish. Square the block to 10.5". Time for a happy dance. Of course, if you'd rather rest then please let the world know with the closed palms look. Another time Thanks to all my quilty sisters - Bernie, Mari, Nikki, Mary and Cathy. You made this tutorial possible. Once again, I will be eagerly watching this space for your quilty hugs (translated into comments) :-D Should you have questions, please ask in the comments. I will respond here so that all can see. I will be sharing with all my favorite linky parties, including Angela's Scrap Happy Saturday. See full list on the sidebar.

It was too cold to shoot outside today so instead I just stayed in and utilized the light in Tom’s room as he made me a chai latte. It's safe to say that my first day of classes went remarkably better than I thought it would :) facebook | instagram
For some, winter represents cold and death. But the season can be as beautiful as it is frigid – the snow and ice that covers much of the hemisphere in the winter is a transformative force like no other. So we invite you to cuddle up with a cup of tea and your warmest blanket and enjoy some of the most beautiful sights of winter. Here's to making the most of a cold and unforgiving but enchantingly beautiful season!

When your upper elementary or lower middle school students turn your school into a rumor mill… use this activity to help them squash the gossip! It's also a great companion activity to Julia Cook's "Rumor Has It", Madonna's "Mr. Peabody's Apples", or Liz Rosenberg's "What James Said" (specific discussion questions included for each of these stories). It's an SEL lesson or guidance lesson filled with relevant scenarios! This resource includes a set of 20 "What would you do?" gossip/rumor scenarios. You can use them for "Pick a card!", "Scatter", or "Mingle-Partner-Chat"; all awesome cooperative learning structures. Directions are included for all three activities (see more details in the preview!). An interactive Google Slides (TM) version is also included. Scenarios are meant for students to practice: • Minding their own business. • Not believing something just because someone else said it. • Choosing not to gossip. This resource also includes 3 different exit tickets and a "words of wisdom" sign to leave behind in classrooms (or hang in your office). This lesson is ASCA and CASEL aligned and a complete lesson plan is included. ************************************************************************************************************* ✨Glowing Praise for This Resource✨ “IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS, YOU NEED IT. Plain & simple. I loved it! I teach an SEL class once a week and my students, both in person and my virtual class, loved it!! Must buy!” ~Valeria S. “I used this with a 3rd grade group, per teacher request. […] The students were attentive and liked the 'raise your hand if' activity as well as the group work. Easy, low prep, engaging content to support the book!” ~Brooke S. ************************************************************************************************************* ★Open the preview for more details!★
