Welcome to My House blog hop



Carol, who blogs HERE is hosting another great blog hop. . . this one is all about houses:







I am so happy that I was able to participate in this hop. . . .but, I will admit, I had hoped to be further along with my project than I got.


However, we all know that life has a way of getting in the way of fun times. . . but I am further ahead that what I was a week ago, so that is a plus.


I am making a birdhouse quilt; here is the one block that I have finished (except for the entry hole):




I used the same piece of batik for each of the nine houses, but because of the coloration in the batik no two houses will be the same.


It took me forever to try to decide on the roof and base color. . . and even now I am not all that happy with it. It works to let the batik shine, and I did not want to use black since I will be using that for the hole.


The pattern I am using is "Tweety, I'm Home":










I believe it was a free pattern but I cannot find a link for it. . . . so I am thinking that it is one of my "ancient" print outs that I have unearthed in my quest to downsize the books, magazines and patterns that are all over my basement. (I found some magazines from 1999 . . .  that's 19 years ago. . . . and I am sure that there are older things also.)


There is some fabric waste with the way that they have you construct the blocks, but I will be using those trimmings in my crumb blocks so that works.


Putting the blocks together is very straight forward so I am sure that the quilt top will be completed pretty quickly. . . or I may take it with me to retreat in October.


I know that my next decisions will be in trying to find fabrics for the inner and outer borders.


Working from my stash makes it a little difficult because of the sizes that I need, but hopefully I will be putting a dent in the stash at some point!


Here is the full line up for the blog hop. . . please go check out what everyone else is doing:









September 10












September 11

September 14



In peace and pieces,


Sherry

September OMG (one monthly goal) Second Verse, Same as the First!



Patty at Elm Street Quilts is again challenging us to get something done.





And I must apologize if you are of an age where the last part of my blog title got you singing "that" song from the Herman's Hermits! 


But, it is very appropriate for my September goal posting since I plan on working on getting the flimsy done on my Four Patch Stacked Posie.


When last I posted here is where it stood:




I am happy to report that there are now three more rows done (for a total of 4 so far) and I only have 4 more "block" rows to do.  Then I need to move on to the sashing rows and the border so that I can complete the quilt top.


With the Labor Day holiday yesterday I was able to make some good progress.  And I know that October is going to be tough as far as quilting and other craft work goes so I want to get as much done this month as possible.


So, now that you know what I am doing you can go to Patty's blog and see what others are concentrating on.  You can go to her post HERE to see what others are going to be working on in September.




In peace and pieces,


Sherry
