    Block #2 only has 18 pieces in the house!! WooHoo!!!

    I have a couple of different brick fabrics and a stone fabric for the other paths and walkways. They are so cute!!! It was so fun finding the fabrics for this quilt!!!

    Baby is in her case, all ready to go to the "doctor" after I get off work!!

    Really pretty. Didnīt know Izy lived in such a pretty little cottage. looks though is thatched. Reminds me of England and the lovely thatched (Chocolate Box) cottages in Dorset. Did you make the pattern up yourself? AND are you going to turn it into a quilt, tell, tell, tell.

    Just managed to get the PC back, had loads of lightening and thunder and rain today and it put the box all out, so catching up on the posts

    That's a beautiful book and I agree it certainly is prettier than the pattern. It's going to be an amazing quilt, and the good news is that you don't have very many complex blocks so you'll be done before you know it. I hope your machine feels better quickly.

    Melissa, while your baby is at the doctor you have time to work on some of you hand quilting. Hope she gets to feeling better quickly and you are back to working on this quilt again soon.

    Got her dropped off and they said it should be ready Friday!!! The one week I dont have to babysit and I dont have a machine!!! But you are right, I can get some of that hand quilting done, or dig out one of the old machines!

    Melissa you do such nice work and you have the patience of an angel, I would have torn out my hair by the 10th piece. I love it.

    Hi there hun, Well they call the rains with the Thunder and lighting here Tormentors, how well is that named. The prob is nearly all the villages are built on mountains so the roads and streets quickly become rivers. The road below was nearly blocked and you just cant see where your going it just lashes down. I had to go out to give something to a friend or I would have been very happy to stay indoors.

    I came in late on your post and missed the lovely picture. Have checked out the site and it is lovely. There are some beautiful ones there.

    46 pieces, you are a glutton for punishment is all I can say. LOL
