    Everyone is so talented! It took me all afternoon just to put curtains in the windows. Me thinks I could have made curtains for my own house in just about the same time but I was determined! Plus to cold and icy out.

    hobbykat1955 your farmhouse reminds me of the children's story Too Much Noise by Ann McGovern. Looks like your cat thinks he's king of the castle - too cute!

    I wasn't sure I was going to make this one, but I think you've convinced me to change my mind. Your farmhouse is beautiful and I love the personal touch of the rose hedge. Nice job!

My FIL still lives in a house much like this one that my DH grew up in. His mom has a pink rose hedge and when we bought our old farm house ten years ago he planted a rose hedge for me.

    The second picture is my oldest daughter reading a love letter in front of the rose hedge.

    WOW!! :thumbup: Your Farm house block turned out really great. Your addition of the tire swing to your tree is so cute. I also like your rose hedge, what a great idea. These blocks are all going to be so fun to watch as they are being made.
    :D :D :D :D

    You guys are amazing. I can't believe how wonderful they look. And you did them so fast!! I finally got the templates printed out and cut apart. I'm going to wait until tomorrow to start when my kids don't have a snow day!!

    Love, love, love your block. Especially the calf. You all have raised the bar sooooooooo high! I have been working on mine today for about 5 hours and haven't even got 1/2 of it done. I think I have sewn and UNsewn each piece at least twice and a lot of them 3 times. This PP stuff is really, really time consuming. LOL

    Got to quit looking at all the great blocks or I will be afraid to post mine....
