A Little Sewing for This Week~

 
Poppin' in to say hi, and share the catch up sewing done here this week. I think this will be the year of the house quilts for me! I joined in with Terry's Houses Quilt Along, and finished January's on time.


 January


February


 March

 
But February and March houses waited until this week. We made 2 each, I just failed to show all six in the photo. April's houses are going to be green, maybe I can get a headstart....


This was a block that I paper pieced. I saw it and worked it out in my head until the puzzle was solved. Do you do that? Anyway, last time I showed it in pieces,





    and here it is together. Kinda cool!

The Davis household has been suffering with the flu. From Larry, to me and now Lydia. We are crossing our fingers that Jeff and Jerry make it through unscathed...but I'm home with a couple of sick days. Maybe there will be more sewing, and maybe I can catch up on reading blogs. ttfn ~

  1. I'm loving your little houses, and the background fabrics that you're using! I hope you are feeling better - don't go back to work too soon, now, you hear? Sometimes one extra day to recuperate is just what the doctor ordered (or at least that's what I tell myself while the whir of the sewing machine soothes my tired mind and body :-)

  5. Okay... a big admission on my part. I've never liked house blocks. But the color in yours makes these wonderful! I truly like them. And your paper-pieced block is great too. How DID you figure it out?! I know your blog-reading therapy is working from my perspective. I loved hearing from you. Get well soon!

  7. Those houses are sweet! Sorry to hear the flu bug has bitten. Get well soon. Your block is really cool, especially with that fabric. Nice color/pattern, and it gives it the illusion of movement.

  8. A sick house is not a fun house. Hope everyone recovers soon. Love all your houses. And yes, just today I worked out a paper piecing design in EQ7 that I just had to have. :)

  17. Hi there! Wow, you sure are doing a super job on these houses!!! Love each one!

    Hope you are feeling better by now. I know it's hard for teachers to stay home when sick, because it's just so much extra work to pick up from the sub when you get back.

  20. That's a pretty little blue paper pieced block! What are you going to do with it?

    Got here late--seems like I go for days without being able to catch up on my blog reading and then find out it was even longer than I thought. I hope by now, all of you are well and chipper again!

  24. Your house blocks are adorable! I have a house quilt in progress too. http://joanieinnc-quiltershaven.blogspot.com/p/works-in-progress.html Here's the link if you want to check it out. Anyways I love your fabric color and choices. The pattern you are using looks much easier than the one I am using. It has "Y" seams.

  25. I love the little houses that will be in your quilt village! The dark roofs stand out so wonderfully well with the little abodes of many colors. Will keep an eye out for additional new blocks. So pretty, Pokey!
