Quilty Barn Along - Block 1

Lori Holt created a very cute barn block complete with a quilt block tutorial and I just had to make one.  She is making a quilt with 12 blocks.  I think I'm going to stop at 4 blocks for a wall hanging size.  Appropriate for us since we're a farm now; even though we don't have any red barns with a quilt block on it.  It was quick to put together.

Lori's example showed a Weathervane quilt block but I did a Churn Dash block instead.  Less pieces to cut and piece together.  Each of the 4 barns I do will be a different red fabric but the roofs will all be black gingham to have them all coordinate somewhat.  I have my second quilt block done and ready for the next barn.

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Ready for Spring

We got some snow again yesterday.  Between 8"-10" at my house is my guess.  Better than 2.5 feet ,I suppose.  Today is bright and sunny.  Hopefully that brings some melting with it because I'm ready for Spring!

I'm having fun with the ribbon wreaths.  I created one for Valentine's Day and it's been hanging on my wall since then.  I thought it was about time to make an Easter/Spring one.  It took me a few days to complete since I was working on it here and there, when I had time.  Ribbon and the glue gun dominated my cutting table so no sewing has been happening.

All the ribbon and glue gun have been put away for now.  I hope to get back to some sewing this weekend.  We'll see how it goes.

Enjoy your day!
