Another Brimfield Block and a Winner

I have finished another Brimfield Block ring in some of my favorite fabrics:

Here is Block 4.  It is an EPP block that you assemble then applique to a background square and you can find the details here if you want to play along, they are hosting a SAL on Instagram right now.

Here are Blocks 1-3 again...
 


And just a quick note that Random Number Generator chose this comment on my last post's giveaway...

I live in Washington state but I'm currently taking care of my dad in Nevada. My favorite Christmas cookie is a frosted butter/sugar cookie.

Welcome to my day for sharing a cookie!

Oatmeal-Cherry Chocolate Chippers

Combine flour, oats, and baking soda and whisk together in a bowl. 

In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugars.  Gradually add the vanilla and eggs.  With mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture above.  Add dried cherries and chocolate chips last.
