Maybe I'll stop at 3...

So many of you guessed right...no I didn't stop at one house...they are just so darn cute!  :o)  And, in fact, I made a third.  With that one I tried a bit of machine sewing for the window and door part , but hand-pieced the roof and the trick inset pieces.

Using the machine for the straight seams actually worked quite well and the results were just as accurate as hand-piecing.  I did make sure to feed a leader piece before I fed the tiny pieces under the pressure foot so that the machine didn't gobble it up.



I must have a thing for little bits of sewing at the moment.  After several months, I have finally returned to quilting my Dear Jane blocks.  I have pieced 40 blocks and 30 of them are quilted so far.  I will use quilt-as-you-go (great tutorial by Andrea) to assemble them and that will act as sashing.  I haven't decided how many I'm going to make...guess it depends on when I get tired of making little blocks :o)

Until next time....
