    DeeCee, yours is gorgeous with the curtains in the window and the birds give life and movement to your block!

    But they turned out so nice! I think I am getting this feel for PPing myself. Made a pp'd pointsetta block yesterday to go with my Christmas quilt. Still used the seam ripper, but I'm getting it. haha!

    My goodness, these farmhouse blocks are sooooooooo good! I still have not started mine. Just finishing up my February doll quilt and then onto the farmhouse. I love being able to participate in all the open swaps and those for our ownselves! The star block is another I am venturing into as well. So much fun!

    Hey Sharon...

    I thought I was going to have to buy a new tracing wheel, but I found mine!!! It works great to use the tracing wheel...much faster!

    I have not located mine and will have to purchase one I'm afraid! I 'm sure it will make a difference!

    Your birds are so special in your farm house block, I love them!! :D
    Your block is so nice. When I made my block, I also made it to look like the farm house that my Aunt still lives in. There are many wonderful memories about going to her house, as a child. Very nice work!!
    :D :D :D :D

    Helen, your farm house block turned out really great!! :thumbup: I especially like the grass fabric & the flowers you have added to it. Everything really adds to the fancy stitching that you shared earlier.
    :D :D :D :D

    Everyone is getting very creative with their blocks. Its great to see and provides lots of inspiration for future blocks. I love the variety of fabrics being used also.

    Once you get the feel for this pp'ing, you will love it forever. Please show us a picture of your Pointsettia block when it is all done. I would love to see it!!
