IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

There's been a bit of construction going on this week. These house blocks have been a lot of fun to piece.

My neighbourhood is getting big fast!

I need to stop and re-read the instructions because I'm a bit lost right now. Time to sew my pieces together into rows and go from there.  I think the quilt sort of 'twinkles'  : )

Thanks so much for all the nice comments of my last post. A couple of readers suggested a hat to match.  I do have a hat on the needles but it's not turquoise. Perhaps the next one, as a baby can never have too many hats.

Enjoy your week.

HILLSIDE HOUSES

So...........I started yet another new project.  I've had a gorgeous bundle of solids sitting on my shelf for about a year just staring at me and as luck would have it, I stumbled upon this quilt along that was just getting started !  It's being hosted by Pretty Little Quilts and you can find the info here 


My first house

number 2  (with part of another house behind)

and 3

.......and here is 'main street'

Aren't they fun ? !  These are huge blocks so I'm thinking this will be one very big quilt. This first row measures approximately 60".  I can hardly wait for the next set of instructions : )

Enjoy your week

MORE PROJECTS THAN $EN$E

Has this been a long winter, or is it just me?  I'm finding myself doing a little more shopping these days to help combat the frigid temperatures. At least it warms my heart   : )

These blocks are from the Second Saturday Sampler that Katja is running. If we come that month with our previous month's block done, we get the next one free. So far I've only had to pay the 'fine' once.

On a recent road trip I saw this quilt made up. It was stunning! It's called Cannery Row based on the old fish canneries.

It was all solids and I fell hard. This thing is huge so it may take a while.....

Corey from 'Little Miss Shabby' is designing cross stitched quilt blocks as a stitch along. It's been years since I have done any cross stitch but I couldn't resist the sampler. Block one is 'Swoon'.

........and what's this? Another project. How'd that get there

The colours in this little charm pack drew me in.

More on this one in the near future.

Well as you can see, I've got my work cut out for me. Have a great week everyone.
