Now What?

I have 20 house blocks made but now what?  It definitely needs sashing of some kind.  Should I twist and turn them? If so, with what?  Then add sashing?  Too many decisions.

I’ll set it 4 across and 5 down but they fit on the design wall this way.

The Neighborhood Is Growing

My neighborhood continues to grow and there are more on the way.

Easily Distracted

I am so easily distracted that it’s almost embarrassing, not quite but almost. 

I’m suppose to be sewing together my green and pink half square triangle quilt. 

I started doing it, really I did.

See, there they are partially sewn together.  Instead I decided to make just 1 house block.  That was yesterday and so far I’ve made 6 of them.

What can I say………I guess I get bored easily.  I really am going to get back to sewing the half-square triangles together but in between I think I’ll continue making houses. 

After some self analysis I’ve decided there are certain processes that I like more than others.  I really enjoy laying out each of the blocks on a design board, stacking up a few boards and then sitting down and sewing them together.  It’s a similar process to when I made all the Great Granny blocks and the In and Out blocks, what can I say, I just really like it.

So I will continue to make house blocks but at the same time go back to finishing up the half-square triangle quilt.

Design Wall Tuesday–May 14, 2013

I’m a day late for my Design Wall Monday but I finally got something up on my design wall. 

One lonely little house without a neighborhood………so far.  My sister Melinda is teaching Bonnie Hunter’s Happy Scrappy House this summer when we head to Las Vegas for our annual trip.  If you’d like to see Melinda’s (she has a whole neighborhood) head on over to her blog here. 

Now I’m heading back to my sewing room and make myself a next door neighbor.

The photo of the week……………my Mom, Alois Frances Eads, taken in 1934.

She’s been gone for several years and I still miss her terribly.

Hope you have a Happy Mother’s Day.
