Tiny Town

Ta Da!!  A finish....(this is a picture before the last borders were applied).  Another top complete...I am trying to tidy up that huge WIP pile.  Not to worry....there are plenty more to replace the ones I have completed.  Tiny Town started last year as a BOM with Shabby Fabrics, completed a little later than anticipated...but nevertheless, DONE!

Lots of fun things going on in this one...the little owl on top of the firehouse,  a dragonfly, a quilt shop, a polka-dotted "Beetle" car, and a very pretty birdie in a cage, to name a few.

Block of the Month's

After all the holiday rush, I was finally able to complete two more of my BOM's...Tiny Town's Block #6 and one of the star blocks for Merry Christmas to All:

I have already received Block #7 for Tiny Town, so better get a move on.   Block #7 has the firehouse and a cute little owl.   The next two blocks for Merry Christmas to All are on their way, too!

A visit to Tiny Town

Once again we visit my little Tiny Town.  A little late, but here is Block #5. 

I thought it rather funny that there were two "crafty" type stores, but also one food store...I guess a girl's gotta eat to keep up her energy level to keep stitching!

And the Andirondack type chairs at the top...lots of little pieces, but they did turn out cute!

My Post Office

Here is Block #4 for my Tiny Town!  A little mail box, a mail truck and a cute polka dotted car!  Looks like my blue washable marker showed up in a few spots again....I'll have to go over it one more time! :)

And my Letter R from Merry  Christmas to All.  This is actually the "second" R that was sent.  The two R's for the word merry are the kits for this month.  I just had to work on the one with the cute little mouse and stocking. 

The embellishments are not attached at the moment. There are twenty, that's right, count 'em...twenty buttons to be attached for this block as well as the little jingle bell and bow.

Something to show

I know...I know....I can hear you say...well, it's about time she did something. :)  All together and embellished...my Letters M and E from Merry Christmas to All...I just love the peppermint and candy cane on this one.

Plus....hold on...don't fall over...Block #3 from Tiny Town....the little dog is my favorite part on this block, although I do like those little mailboxes, too.

Block #10 from Snowbound is being worked on now...(well, I am taking a little break to post this....;) )

....And.....Block #5 from Friends for Christmas is traced, cut out and ironed in place waiting to be appliqued.  This  is another big one....four of those funny reindeer!

OK.  I hope this update makes up for the lack of posting in the past two weeks!

Once again, I do appreciate everyone who comes by for a visit and also wish to express my thanks for all the lovely comments on my ...ahem...varied and every growing pile of  projects

Tiny Town

Ta Da!!  Block #2 of my Tiny Town by Bunny Hill Designs.

A few extra embellishments...the ric rac trim on the houses.  It just seems that these should be more "gingerbread" type houses.

GLIMPSES

Lots and lots of what I have been working on these past few days....first ~ these are some of the fabrics I have chosen for my new project, Born to Quilt.  All blues, I know...I do have other fabrics for this one, too.  Somehow I seem to neglect to buy "blues" when buying fabrics.  So a small stack of some new ones for this cute new project.

Second ~ Bent Creek's Halloween Branch.  See?  Here's that cute little owl...some words....a ghost....a spider, too.

My block for Friends for Christmas with the 3 Friends.....the reindeer still needs his antlers stitched, as well as the finishing on his legs.  The little bird is just taking a rest for now.  She will get attached very soon, too. :)All three friends, together...

The newest block arrived for my Tiny Town Block of the Month....just a few glimpses of this one...still in progress.  I added some pretty blue ric-rac to the edge of the house.

The little house as well as the garage that is placed next to it on the block.

Whew!  After looking at all of these pictures, I guess I have been busy, after all!  :))

The neighborhood grows

My first block for Tiny Town is done!  It looks a bit crooked in the picture, but it it is straight. I guess it was just the way it was on the table.  I think I am caught up with my BOM's (Blocks of the Month) quilt projects...well, except for Baltimore Halloween.  I have decided I really do not like the background fabric that was provided.  So, I kept putting off doing the blocks.  I have only completed three, but I think I am going to redo them all on different fabric....maybe a nice Halloweeny purple!

I started working on my Baroque Gardens again last night and finished the outer border for Part 2.  Now for all the vines and flowers!
