This is Moda Blockheads block #28, designed by Jan Patek. It looks better from a distance, but all in all, I think it is pretty cute. I added a little birdie for extra interest.
I haven't gotten much sewing done this week, alas. I was out of town having medical appointments early in the week, then I had to work, and yesterday I observed in Eva's classroom, which was an interesting experience. Clearly her teacher could use some parent volunteers. Eva is in a combo class this year, half kindergarteners and half first graders. It is a challenge to juggle the two age groups, and the first graders have to be pretty self directed while the teacher is occupied with the younger kids. It may be a challenge, but the class size is only 16, which is a big positive. One thing that I was reminded of today was how wiggly boys are. Gracious, they just can't seem to sit still or keep their hands to themselves.
Hope you all have a great weekend. My husband and I are taking a day trip up to Lake Tahoe, which should be fun. Except no sewing obviously. Oh well. I will try to make it up next week!

I just met a kindergarten boy next door to me and he talks non stop and is very active! I don’t envy the teachers.
Do you still have the lighter one in this photo of the blocks as it is not standing out if it is there just blending with the others…..
What a varied week you’ve had! Love the pumpkin and birdie blocks! That accomplishment should satisfy your creative juices until you’re back home again.
Have a wonderful time with your sweetie!
Hugs!
THat class is a handful. I do not envy the teacher. I like the bird on the pumpkin! Enjoy Tahoe. Should be pretty up there.

Very cute pumpkin with the sweet cheep cheep birdie perched upon it! Have fun on your trip to Tahoe–it is so gorgeous up there.
Love the little bird on your pumpkin – it just makes the block!
Am really glad to see you are posting again, really enjoy reading your blog. I am also doing the Blockhead blocks and really like your pumpkin block. I would like to put a bird on mine also but can’t seem to find a bird pattern. Where did you find yours???? Thank you
