Remember these ?

It has been a while since I posted any progress on these blocks so I thought why not update you since I finished the last block yesterday . These blocks were a BOM from Shabby Fabrics for 2012 and I have to say I enjoyed making each and everyone of them ,I looked forward each month to see what the new block would be , now I am not saying I kept up each month but I did for the most part and here is what they look like right now.
I love it and now need to decide on a border fabric , hopefully I have something on hand that will work as this was all about using up scraps for me but I think someone is refilling my scrap bins as they don 't seem to have gone down even a little .
I also finished off a little top that I will share at a later date and worked on some stitching for the Winter in Blogland , almost finished block four , whew I am so slow at this but eventually I will get there.
We had some snow overnight but it has become very mild so is melting quickly but alas they are predicting a little weather system for Tuesday that may bring us 20-25cm. of the white stuff ,if we get that it will be the most we have gotten so far this year , we technically have not had a storm , snow yes but a real down to earth storm has not happened. I am sure Mother Nature is not going to let us off that easy so I think February will make up for the lack of snow so far. I am off now to hem some pants , not my kind of sewing but somethings just have to be done ;-) Hope your day is a great one and thanks for stopping by .
 hugs Sheila

Cute houses! I don't have a good record with BOM's, so I just watch from afar. How about some scrappy sashing between the blocks?

Love your little houses! Thanks so much for the update! I laughed when you said someone is filling your scrap basket...I think the same scrap elves visit me when I am asleep!

Maria said...

I love the House Blocks. I downloaded a couple but never got round to stich them...
It would look great with a 1" soft mustard and then a soft 3" green?????

Narelle said...

They're lovely little homes :)

Sisbabestitches said...

Lovely bom blocks, and you have finished them not far past the end of the year, so I call that keeping up :) Hope Mother Nature stays kind and only gives you little storms if you must have them :)

Janet said...

Very sweet houses! We've had lots of snow and cold here this winter. Although we don't count our snow in cms really. We never get tons of snow - it just is snowing constantly.

Ellie said...

Oh I love your houses - they look so good.
We have had a little bit of snow here - but other parts of Scotland and England have had lots of it. It is very chilly though!!!

Marjorie's Busy Corner said...

thanks for visiting Sheila....I need to sort this email thing out...I hate not having it on my laptop.

Judy said...

That's a neat quilt and a big congrats on finishing all of the blocks. I think the scrap elf must be busy refilling your scrap boxes, haha.
Take care,
Judy
