Busy, busy , busy!!!!!


This is the center block of the folk art quilt I am making.  It will be used as a wall hanging.  It is wool applique hand stitched with the blanket stitch and a lot of the wools I dyed myself.  It is brighter colors than what is appearing here...don't know what the problem was.
Whoa Nellie....I am not even the same person that blogged here last time!  I am amazing even myself!  The weather cooled so I have been walking 3 miles a day with the dogs AND this morning I started the Nutrisystem program....lets all say a prayer!  I cant use apostrophes in this blog or it takes me to quick link...anyone else having that problem?  Anyway, things are great here and I am getting cleaning done and organizing and working on my folk art quilt.....here is what I have done so far.
This is the next block I am working on.  There are 12 blocks in all not counting the center house block and then there's a border to do also that goes all the way around the quilt.  This will take months if not years! LOL!  But I have a friend who has one finished and hanging in her quilt shop and it is GORGEOUS!  Right up my alley anyway.
