I am making the I love Home Blocks from Jacquelynne Steves, which is a free Block-of-the-Month for 4 months. (Just need to sign up to get the pdf patterns).
So here is my second block. I used rickrack this time for the roofs, and added some more rickrack around the door and above and below the windows. I thought I would paint some "smoke" coming out of the chimneys too. I enjoy making these blocks. I used batik fabrics all from my scrap bag too! I haven't even cut out this month's block yet and November is practically here, which means the last block is coming. I better get going!!!

Ric Rac Roof! I love it! I've seen it used for flower stems before, but using it for a roof is a great idea - it adds such a fun (fanciful!) dimension :) Cute blocks - I think I saw the house from the second block, just up the street and around the corner :D
ReplyDeleteI have always adored house blocks and these ones are adorable. of course all of your unique embellishments are what really put the wow into the blocks. great job I look forward to seeing the rest of your neighborhood when you finish the other blocks.
