When I printed the patterns from home, only one page printed correctly. Then I printed from work and they all printed correctly. Weird! Hope to be working on this soon, after I get my blocks done for the Row Robin I'm in. I love this site, it has really enhanced my life and given me so much motivation to actually do what I love!

This link at quilter's cache is the FAQs page and gives many suggestions on how to print the templates the correct size everytime. I hope this helps everyone:

All seems to be going well with my Farmhouse. I am using some of the fancy stitches on my sewing machine to make "shingles." Don't overlook the decorative stitches in your machine to create embellishments.

I am having so much fun with this block.

I can't wait to see that! I got a new to me machine with lots of decorative stitches and have no idea where to use them.

I never thought of using those stitches for these!! Thanks for the tip!!!! :thumbup:

This isn't the best photo, but it may give some idea of what can be done with decorative stitches.

Way cute! I love the idea of personalizing each house block!
I've almost got my fabric together and hope to get started soon!

WOW!! :thumbup: Your extra stitching is wonderful!! I can't wait to see your finished block, when you share it. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us your nice work. Now we might want to re-do our Farm Houses!! Oh NO............LOL
:D :D :D :D

That is just too doggone cute!!! I can hardly wait to see the entire house! :wink:

ditto - makes me wish I had some fancy stitches on my machine.

Thanks for the positive comments! I'll be interested in seeing what it looks like when it's finished also. I don't have a plan in mind as I work. I just do what strikes my fancy. If it doesn't look right, there's always my faithful seam ripper.

I agree...Very cute to add the decorative stitches.

This has been a slow block to complete. I work a little while on it, then get frustrated and quit for a few days. I only have a few more sections to go. So hopefully soon I'll have a picture.

I have never tried a block of the month before. will be starting soon. wish me luck

Good luck but I don't think you will need it.

thank you. i will put pictures as I do them

Oh Goody, another participant!! :thumbup: We are glad you are joining in on the fun. I will be anxiously waiting to see your blocks!!
:D :D :D :D

Helen thanks for reminder about our machines having more then straight stitchs...yours is turning out adorable. I so hope I feel better this weekend to play catch up.

Isn't it awful when you want to sew and your body just doesn't cooperate!!! You'll be feeling better soon and ready to stomp on that pedal! This is a good time to thumb through those quilt mags and cruise the internet sewing sites. Try ajpadilla.com for some inspiration.

I have decided to try this BOM also. Have never done one before, but it sounds like fun.

So glad to hear that you are joining all of us, too!! :D You are going to love it, I just know it!!
:D :D :D :D

Finally printed off the February Farmhouse block - hopefully I can get it done before the March block comes out!

3/4 of the battle is starting something! :(

Wow, I just saw your picture of your Church block & it turned out really nice. I am anxious for you to get started on the farm house. You have plenty of time, so go for it!!
:D :D :D :D

Welcome Barb! Glad you joined us. I am new but I have had a barrel of fun and I am learning from all the "real" quilters too. :-)

Ok here is the farm house. I don't know if I like the material I used for the front walk. Opinions please. It was more work doing this one. But I got it done. YA! Ready to start next block tomorrow. Then I be caught up! lol

Love your red farmhouse! Your lawn full of flowers is lovely, too!! :thumbup:

My favorite walks are along the leaf covered sidewalks and paths!

Unique and perfect!! Who doesn't love leaves on the walk! Great all around Sister!

I want one of those apples! Great Block -

What a great Farm House block. I love your apple tree & the gorgeous leaves that have fallen on your front walk. Such nice idea's.
:D :D :D :D

Love your fabrics choices. It looks real good to me.

I waited impatiently for the farmhouse pattern. When the first of the month arrived, my hubby had already started renovating my sewing room.

I am now a displaced sewer. My machine and stash are in the dining room, but the printer is inaccessible. I may ask a friend to print tout the pattern for me before I go into BOM withdrawal.

I am not complaining. My sewing area will be wonderful when finished (in this lifetime, I hope.)

I am enjoying looking at everyone's beautiful blocks. You go girls!!! I'll catch up when I can.

I am sure you will have loads of fun and space to do lovely quilting! :-D

Oh...I finally was able to printout the Barn Block. I will begin tomorrow. I have my fabrics all stacked up and ready to go!

My second attempt using freezer paper and am extremely excited with these corners and points matching. Had fun making this block.

Your Barn is wonderful!! :thumbup: What a lovely combination of fabric's you have used in putting it together. I love it!!
:D :D :D :D

Thanks very much. Appreciate your feedback. xx

Love your roof and silo fabric!
