    QuilterMomma, I discovered I didn't have that pp book after all that you have. But, I was able to borrow it from the library. And, yes, you do have to resize the blocks. And some of those patterns are a bit challenging. I know your doing a lot right now so try not to stress yourself out to much.

    Oh guess what. The daily block calendar has a couple of patterns for houses so I pieced one during lunch and cut three more out. Have to save one for myself. Here is a pic of it. Yes, it needs pressed, but otherwise I like how it looks. So this will be one of my sets. Made it out of buggy barn fabric. I am still going to do the others, that is why I have them all copied and they will take a project off my to do list because I have the pp patterns all copied before hand so this project will help eliminate an old one. I am learning not to start anything I won't finish

    Ok, I can see why I am going to have to do that carpal tunnel surgery this month, I can't type worth cahoots. That is to be 365 and it is Nancy J. Martin. Would not want to show any disrespect.

    Oh you mean the Buggy Barn Fabric store in Reardon, Washington. Nice little barn shop. Love to shop there. On the 1st Saturday of the month they have grab bags of fabric for $5 sorted by colors and $1.75 per fat quarter. I shop then to get the best deals. If you need me to pick some up for you, pm me and we can talk.

    I am mailing my blocks today but I am very disappointed in them My original idea did not work out right as it looked to out of proportion so I went another route. I wanted to make what looked like little mushroom houses. Well I could not find my red & white fabric to make them look like toadstools so I used a brown and they just look dumpy to me. I am so sorry hope those of you who end up with one can use them.
    Hugs

    April I hope I get one. Yes, maybe the red dotted fabric would have looked better but the shape and colors do remind me of a toad stool on a rainy day. I like it!
