Mortar Monday


My first house blocks ever!  And I'm loving them!

The sawdust is flying around here today because I'm putting together my Full House Schnibble.  These houses are going up so quickly!  Now I see why everyone is saying they're just so addicting!  I can't stop building them.  Dinner and soccer practice are quickly approaching, so I do need to get a grip on this. Using the Fit to be Geese Ruler by Open Gate Quilts and also pressing all of the seams open, is making this project go together so smoothly.  At any rate, I will surely finish this 'Another Year of Schibbles' project with plenty of time to spare!  A great way to start off the New Year.


Getting ready to cut into Reunion.

Speaking of 'Another Year Of Schnibbles', I was lucky enough to win an amazing prize in the Grand Finale Le Petite parade in November from Carrie Nelson.  During the 'I'm-getting-ready-for-the-holidays-and-I-have-so-much-to-do-that-I-don't-know-what-to-do' season I didn't get around to posting about it.  Now that the decorations are down and I'm pretty much recovered......but still discovering those things that have been neglected because of the holidays......here it is.  Thanks so much Carrie, Sinta and Sherri for a fun year of LePetite in 2011!! I'm looking forward to 'Another Year of Schnibbles'!


 Beautiful Nine Dots fabric designed by Carrie,  lots of lovely circa 1934 fabric, and a fun pincushion kit.......that was a good mail day!! Thanks Carrie :-)

I'm taking the plunge and I'm using the new Blogger interface today.  So far, so good!

I just LOVE these using the Reunion fabrics. I'm not much of one for house quilts, they have just never done it for me. But I have to say that these tempt me very much to do some someday!

I'm building houses too! Tiny ones though. I love all the different projects Carrie has done with those tiny town blocks! Cannot wait to see your contemporary neighborhood. Congratulations on your lovely gift from Carrie.

Hi, Michele. I can see why those fun houses grab you! And your Blessings quilt in the previous post is really lovely. The color palette is interesting--the varied values make it work so well.
best, nadia
