Although our housing industry is in a slump, there still seems to be a lot of building going on in blogland.
Here are my first few houses for Jeanneke's Building Houses from Scrap.
You can find the link on my sidebar.
Beware though! They are addicting.
I thought I would be lucky to make perhaps just one block a week; but once I got started, it is all I want to do. I have decided to paper piece mine (the pattern is available on her website.)
I just love choosing the fabrics for each house and fussy cutting out what I want in the windows.
They will be such fun to use in small quilts to give as Christmas presents next year.
Unfortunately, my machine is about to go into storage.
Having a big party here (baby shower) soon, and I need to focus my attention there.
With that said, I apologize for not posting the border instructions for the 1880 Sampler Quilt.
I promise it will be my priority in the first week of February.
Just keep working on those HST units until then.
These are great!! What size are they? Bet it's FUN to pick fabrics for each one!
ReplyDeleteYour houses are darling. I tried to download the pattern but she had closed the registration and it is no longer available. Wish I could have joined in.

ReplyDeleteThese blocks are just darling!
ReplyDeleteI especially love seeing what's peeking thru those wonderful windows!
Oh my! Your little house blocks are looking so very cute!!!! Well done!!!
ReplyDeleteAll of your little house blocks look very inviting! Of course, I love all those repro prints you used in them. Recognize several from my stash! I can see why these would be addictive.
ReplyDeleteOh these are so cute! Love each and every one. I need to get started I carry my bag back and forth to work and then never make them on break. Of course I already said I would today, so maybe today I really will.
ReplyDeleteYou are onther construction to, lovely houses you have already made!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics in your little houses. I signed up and need to find my copy of the pattern! Now I have a few days to sew it is time to get busy. I am thinking I might try hand piecing. I didn't get the paper piece version so that's forcing me to do these slowly.
ReplyDeleteHi, Cheryl. I can see why everybody likes the house blocks. Yours are lovely, and the window allows for a bit of whimsy. I like your combinations of fabrics.
ReplyDeletebest, nadia
I love your little houses. I really need to make some of these. Hugs

Hi Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know about this great little project! Now I have found a way to use some of my special scraps! The little houses are really quite addictive. Best wishes to you!
Cheers from Carol
Little houses such a great idea. What a great idea for a baby quilt, as well.
