| section three is complete |
 |
| section three has house block 1 and 2, flying geese, an arrow, a pinwheel , 2 fabric panels and the sky along w a few other bits and pieces |
 |
| house block 1 involves a set in seam |
 |
| i made a second house to demo a set in seam...my poor brain struggles with this... |
 | |
| FYI if you have jen kingwell's pattern....and you prefer paper piecing you can contact sarah [ who has spent a lot of time converting] for free templates @ sewwhatsherlock |
 |
| section two is smaller and easier , has a few repeat blocks and a bit more applique ~ i switched the bottom apartments cuz i liked the placement better |
 |
| and i still have a lovely pile of mess/ possibilities on my cutting table |
 |
| having a design wall is so appreciated with this project...i am keeping all the repeats to the left along with future possibilities |
 |
| loving the middle eastern block houses and the teeny tiny 2" churn dash blocks...again i used the spray starch method for the applique and the quilt in a day triangle square up ruler for the churn dash blocks~ i also found an easy tutorial to make perfect flying geese here |
 |
| and i really tried to let my crooked city block from section one go... |
 |
| but i just couldn't...it took about an hour to pick out and fix ~ and i am much happier |
 |
| machine quilted diane's super cute pencil crayon quilt w dave hudson's abc panto |
 |
| and lorraine's beautiful moda christmas quilt with the very popular and perfect loop the loop |
 |
| and i am finishing up iris's cute baby quilt w a new panto called fluent ~ love the flower in this design |
 |
| and i rescued another under appreciated crochet blanket from value village for $3.19...can't stop buying these...and i am not sure why ?? |
 |
| must be the color in this one |
 |
| and look who was napping with her sister up high in the maple tree all afternoon yesterday xo |
 |
| and these blossoms are blooming all over our neighborhood ~ favorite time of year for walking xo |
 | ||||||
| started this quilt for the second time around here and ta-da section one is complete ~ i am teaching this class at quilting mayhem |
 |
| five sweet orange peel blocks done w my favorite spray starch method...i first learned this method from figtree |
 |
| pinwheels and hour glass blocks are made with my favorite quilt in a day triangle square up ruler |
 |
| this is the top half of the first section...mostly sky with the city block |
 |
| this is the bottom half ~ i modified a few blocks here that called for the small templates... the bottom left house is a good example...house #3 in the book is super cute but i opted for easier~ plus i love that there is so much room for improv with this pattern |
 |
| and i love my little orange house |
 |
| also saving time by making the repeat blocks ahead of time |
 |
| my sister came for a visit xo |
 |
| there was a walk everyday and lots of fun blossom shots xo |
 |
| we had a trip to see the roozengaarde tulips |
 |
| so many tulips |
 |
| we stopped in here too since we were in the neighborhood |
 |
| we finished up a queen size minimalista triangle quilt w a simple formica panto |
 |
| we shopped |
 |
| i got some good loot |
 |
| and then this guy came for a gramma date the day sister went home making the goodbye a little easier xoxo |
