Starting on the 1st of January 2008 I will be featuring a different block here each week. They will stay in the archives so it doesnt matter if you are not stitching in the same order as me. Please join in, leave a comment, send in a photo of your block, something nice you did this week or someone nice in your life…

I still have this record from when I was a little girl. My Dad hated it but never through it out, even though he hid it many a time. Years later I was recording a tape for him and as a song in the middle I added this. He thought that it was cute.
Hi Helen,
I love your patterns and have quite a few. I am interested in your block of the week patterns but can’t figure out how to access them, or what they cost. Hope you can point me in the right direction.
Thankyou,
Amanda
Hallo Hellen,

HI Sue, the pictures are just for ideas, colour choice, inspiration and sharing. YOu need to purchase the pattern at http://hugsnkisses.net/nice_people_nice_things.htm or from any of the stores on the stores page of this blog. We hope you join us soon! Helen
Hi Helen,
Just a short note, I started “Nice People, Nice Things” February of last year in my craft classes along with 5 of the other girls plus our teacher Maria of “Craft Haven”. I still have about 24 blocks to stitch and have already started to put the quilt together. I have LOVED doing this project, and can already see that this will be one of my best quilts so far, it looks fantastic. I’m going to really miss stitching these blocks once I’ve finished the quilt.
All the best for your future projects, I’ll be keeping an eye out more of your work.

hi Toni, thanks for writing and I am so glad you have enjoyed it so much as many around the world have…. I am trying my hardest to come up with something similar for mid 2009 – similar type project but with a different twist to reinspire you.
Helen
I’m finally going to start your NPNT stitchery quilt!! Just got the patterns yesterday from Nadine at Material Girls. Will the photos remain on your blog for color ideas? I told Nadine about the bonus “Grandpa” block as she has begun her quilt as well. Do you have a saying for the back side of his block? Love your ideas and color choices. You make a lot of people happy with your stitcheries and quilts. Thank you so much.
Bev in Utah, USA
hi Bev, glad you could join us. Please say hi to Nadine for me, her store is just lovely. The photos will always stay on the blog, just keep going backwards to find what you need. There were also a couple of other bonus blocks and I have had a ‘daddy’ block requested which I shall do when I get a minute. No, I havent done verses for the back but you could google ‘verses and sayings’ and find something that suits you and the bonus blocks. The alphabet I used is on the blog (left column) to download as a PDF and then trace your letters to make your saying. Happy Stitching, hugs Helen
I should like to join in and do a block too looks like you have a great group going the best to you grandma Kathy
HI Kathy, you can join us at any time you like. YOu can purchase the pattern set here http://www.hugsnkisses.net/nice_people_nice_things.htm then just join in. You can look back over all the posts on this blog to see what threads etc I have used and also some other bonus blocks and things. Hope to see you here soon. hugs, Helen
I have aquired some quilt pieces that I have no idea what quilt pattern they are. the pieces have a tag attached to them with the size of the piece and how many there are. How would I find the pattern for this quilt? Would you be able to help me find the pattern?
HI Georgia, there would be thousands of quilt patterns out there they could be from, there is no way of finding which one it would be. I would suggest writing down the sizes of the pieces that have been cut and then just browsing patterns to see if you can find one that uses similar sizes pieces and use one that uses as many of them as you can. if they are just squares there would be many that would work, anything with squares or triangles. Helen
on all those quilt squares that I had no idea what the pattern was. I figured out that I could make my own design by by just laying them on my cutting mat with the squares on it and move the fabric pieces around to make a design. Then counted how many I would need and checked to see if I had enough for my quilt. Worked! Have made two baby quilts. May have to cut some of the bigger pieces to use the rest of the pieces.
