First round to the Round Robin is done....now don't think I am fast, I already had the house blocks, I just had to make the trees. The houses are from a BOM that I never finished and knew I wouldn't finish...so...here is to my last years UFO....feels soooooo good. I know, I need to iron it...will get to it tomorrow.
I got the nicest surprise in the mail Monday...you see these squares....they are Thimbleberries....oh my...did my heart skip a beat....almost had to have the paddles used on my heart.... These are from Karen from SEW MANY WAYS she said these are for my Thimbleberies sew days....how awesome is this???? If you are not familiar with her blog, I suggest you go over there now. She can make anything from the hardware department...I chuckle every time I go over there...totally amazed how clever she is and she never ceases to amaze me on her ability to create something from cheap things at the hardware dept, light boxes, jewelry...you name it...
This is all Mary's fault from Quilt Hollow....I curse her....she is always talking about schnibbles and how addicted she is to them....hers turn out so amazing....every day...I am telling you, she should sell drugs, she just makes it sooooo irrestible. Actually, she is one amazing person...go check out her blog, awesome schnibbles and quilting. Got the schnibble pattern from Quilt Taffy...they give fast service.
Love the Thimbleberries material. How nice was that for her to send it to you. I spotted that quilt taffy in picture with the pattern, bet that was tasty!
ReplyDeleteBarb you have just been getting some fabulous things. You know I have a passion for houses and your row of houses is just adorable. God I wish I had more time. I too like the Schnibbles but I do not want to get hooked.
ReplyDeleteI have been so tempted by Schnibbles, but so far have resisted. Love the Thimbleberries charms.
ReplyDeleteI love those little cottage blocks! So very cute. I'm so tempted, but my friend Helen makes them by the dozen as she loves that fiddley stuff.
ReplyDeleteI too love Karen at Sew Many Ways, but just cannot log into her file as my computer freezes, so I must shut it down everytime I try. I don't know why, but I do agree, she is so unbelievably creative and funny too!
The first row is lovely. Are your houses pieced? I couldn't tell.
ReplyDeleteBarb, I love your block, The giraffe is so cute. I have a hard time resizing blocks too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to Karen's blog -- I'm now a follower. Those Thimbleberries fabrics are lovely. Your houses are whimsical and adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou just crack me up! Enjoy....trust in me it is an addiction...welcome to my world.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the little house blocks! I am a real sucker for house blocks...
ReplyDeleteThe Thimbleberies is very cool!! Can't wait to see the outcome of that project...
I'm behind...the little giraffe is cute and the other purple quilt-OMG!! talk about HARD!!!
Welcome to the Schnibble addiction! I'm glad I joined the quilt along. They are so much fun to make and also very quick.
ReplyDeleteYour houses look great! It's fun to be able to use up blocks from other projects.
First of all, those fabric squares are DELICIOUS! What a great friend!!!

Isn't Karen over at Sew Many Ways just the sweetest? She definately is one of the most clever gals around! Love her Tool Time Tuesdays! What a generous gift! And there is the pattern to work it with....Quilt Hollow inspired. Have a great day.

Love your row with those cute houses. I'm sure you will make a wonderful Schnibbles quilt. I am quite certain I have a Schnibbles pattern here somewhere and should get it out sometime soon....because, ummmmm...you know, I'm bored and have NO other projects to work on. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe houses are cute!!! This should make an interesting round robin.

Your houses are too cute! Can't wait to add to them. For several months I have been seeing the finished Schnibbles quilts on the net and I have been tempted to join in. There just doesn't seem to be enough time for all the things I want to do.
