The Subdivision in the Country…

Last night I put on a movie and sewed up a storm…adding a few more houses to my growing pile!  Yup, I made a heck of a racket!  The hammer and nails were flying!  These houses are sew easy to do that after awhile you can bang them together in your sleep! 

Here they are…only one more left to do!

Ooops!  The pattern calls for rows of threes…See the bottom middle house..with the striped front…not liking that one so much.  I might just build two more houses and use that one for my label on the back…

But then maybe with the addition of windows and a door, he might add some character to the our little subdivision…

Yup, I’ll have to play…and see! 

The pattern for this quilt is found in ‘Primitive Gatherings’ by Terry Burkhart and Rozan Meacham.  There are TONS of wonderful patterns in this book!  Anne from ‘Cotton ‘n Wool’ is hosting a ‘Country Homecoming Quilt’ Sew-a-Long…and it’s NEVER too late to join in!  Come on, grab that hammer, a few nails and some fabric...  Shhhh…I kind of worked ahead…we are suppose to be working on block THREE…but that’s OK…those appliquéd doors and windows take time!  Sure hope I can finish block three in time! :o)

Have a FUN Friday and Happy Quilting!~P

  1. You've certainly become a "big developer" now, Paulette. What will Rick think, when he returns home? Bet he had no idea that you were such a prolific home builder.

  4. I'll be watching to see how the stripe looks with windows. I'm working on these houses too and have a stripe fabric to use. Was going to reveal my three houses next month.
    No kidding the book is great. It would be fun to work on the cover quilt as a group project. I really want to do that one fore sure.

  6. I would be very tempted to put something unexpected in there like a tree with a swing or a park or something. You're doing a great job!

  10. Wonderful house blocks. I always hand sew when I watch tv, and I need to get my appliqués set up, so maybe today I will work on my hexes, too lazy to get up.
