10 Lords-A-Leaping…i don’t really know what that means. where would you even find them? so i would trade them for a Sweetwater Favorite…Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler book. Every Thursday we (and by we, i mean mom) does 3 blocks and we (and by we, i mean me) post them on the blog. There is a total of 140–6 inch finished blocks. So it is tons and tons of fun! if you’d like to “join” just pick up a book and start sewing. Below is the lovely book and the fabrics we used. **we could get you started with a Cottage Cake (42-10 inch squares) and a Northcote Range Charm pack (42-5 inch squares).**
with your purchase of Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler you will receive a Thread Tweezers FREE! these little cuties are perfect for pulling out those stubborn threads and the foundation paper when you are foundation piecing.
and now some history of day 9 of the 12 days of christmas…first off….10 Lords-A-Leaping…10 dancers are $10,000.
“Catholics in England during the period 1558 to 1829, when Parliament finally emancipated Catholics in England, were prohibited from ANY practice of their faith by law – private OR public. It was a crime to BE a Catholic.” www.byrum.org
Thus The 12 Days of Christmas was written as a memory aid to learning the Christian Faith. The 10 Lords-A-Leaping refers to the ten Commandments.
So that’s all for day 10.
