I was trying to follow the tutorial given on Persimon Dreams blog. So I got some scraps out of a bag and put them on the table with an idea in mind. When I trimmed the fabric I placed above the door I cut it pointed like a roof. I was not happy that I made that mistake but decided to go forward and add sky. Oops. I was supposed to add background onto sides of house first. So I added that on last. It was fun. These would get a lot easier after making a few of them. I am saying this is a birdhouse and a very wonky sky!
I added another house that I just made. I chose the doll scrap and built the house around it. The "ground" was a trim from a block. I raw edge appliqued it onto this block.
Now I have made a wonky tree also:

Seahawks shirts
I made Seahawks shirt for 3 great grandchildren. The shirts are size 9 months, size 3, and size 4.
I have been working on a couple blocks of the month also. Pictures of those later.
I do have a picture of my first block of the Craftsy bom. I have decided to make it scrappy so that I don't have to purchase fabric for it.

RCS15 January blocks
2 Blue blocks for January. I got my colors reversed in the flying geese for the center of block 1. So I arranged them to form an x , instead of having all the white in the center. I am looking forward to next months blocks.

Minky quilt
Fabrics chosen by my granddaughter nearly three years ago. Finally I have put the quilt together for my great granddaughter and will give it to her for her soon to be third birthday. The back is minky too and I put it together QAYG sewing the strips to the batting and backing. I started in the middle and worked toward each end when adding strips of minky. The binding is minky also.
Of course we had no idea that there would be a new popular movie out that this soon to be three year old would prefer over owls. (the F word- Frozen..... LOL) But like all good 3 year olds, she likes everything. So this will be a cozy quilt and the fabrics are top quality. (not from Joann's, although I do buy fabrics from Joann's, I inspect the quality of them very closely before purchasing.)
