Hi folks. Hi. My name is Katy and I love to craft. Recently, I purchased a Huskvarna Viking Designer I embroidery machine and spend a great deal of time using it. I created this blog to showcase some of my creations. I hope you enjoy it. Please write back with your comments.

Cowboy Boot Block
I have admired the many cowboy boot quilts on the web. As a Texas, I think one would make a lovely gift for someone expecting a baby boy. Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, I was not pleased with the shape of the boots. Either the heel was too high, the toe too pointy, or too square. Since I wanted the perfect boot, i decided to craft my own. I found a coloring page with the outline of a boot that I liked. Then I squared off parts of the boot to make manageable blocks. Next, I cut out the pattern, and got to work on the pieces. I now know why people charge so much for patterns. It is not easy. Below is a picture of the finished block. I think I still need to tweak the pattern, but I am pretty pleased with the end result. Who knows, maybe I will start selling patterns!
