Welcome to Fabric Tuesdays!! We've been bouncing this idea around forever and we are finally ready to start, and we hope you'll play along and tell your friends :)
Here is Heather's finish.
This block was totally freestyle. I ended up loving it! It helped that the instructions were for a "wonky" house. I started with the window and put a little gnome and girl with a balloon in it. Then I added shutters...Then I made the little piece with the door and frame. I just kept adding and adding.
The address is just because I felt there was alot of extra space floating on the house. I feel like I should have made it part of her home address, but that genius didn't come to me until I finished the numbers. I hope she likes it!
This is my second block. She wanted freestyle too. At first my house was to tall and skinny and I thought it looked like an outhouse. I added the grass and made it a shorter house and it fixed that problem.
She also gave us some cute owls and little kids playing and wanted them added in. I appliqued them and the tree. I like the final product. Hopefully the lady in my group does too... (if I make them cute houses, I think I will get them back. I am one of the last to send out fabrics) So far virtual quilting bee's are fun!
Now we want to see YOUR fabric finishes!
Here's how our linky party will work. First, the new button.

Finally figured this all out, as my blog is new (and unannounced to my IRL friends yet!). But I am a follower and got my (horrid poorly lit) photo linked.
I really love the second house block--the fussy-cut appliques are great. Especially the owls!
We're a day late, but next Tuesday we'll play! How fun!
I LOVE the owl in the tree. It's so adorable!
What a great idea! I want in. I'm not sure of what to do though...if you could email me and help me out. I love, love love your house blocks. I did a whole post about 'house' quilts on my blog a few weeks ago. I am fascinated by them!
Love your blog!
I absolutely love your quilting blocks!! They are so cute! What a fun idea! :)
