Another small finish

With my newfound strategy to do a little hand sewing each day, I am happy to say that I finished another block in the Primitive Gatherings Twilight project.  I have another block ready to work on so that's progress, right?

 Once again, my center is not exactly in the center (well, the middle of the center is a little off!).  I need to perfect my technique on the centers, I think. VBG

I really am enjoying wool appliqué and I'd encourage you to try it if you have never done it.  So much easier than needle turn (no offense, Wendy Reed!! [constantquilter])

 And in my spare time, I decided to make some houses!!  They are sure fun, although I don't have the same variety of fun fabrics here at the cabin.










Hope you are staying healthy and safe!
ps: Max's haircut was finished yesterday!  He looks like a new dog! Short hair and sort of even. vbg

    Cute about your dog's haircut;). I love doing wool applique although I've done very little of it - just additions here and there in primitive style quilts.

    Gorgeous! It is great progress in my book. Love the fussy cut in the houses. Need to see a picture of Max with its new hairdo. ;^)

    Your red background block is so pretty with the neutral wool applique pieces.
    I saw your donated block on Wendy's blog post. It is interesting seeing what everyone has given her and what she does with it.

    Oh what a sensational block! And I think it is perfect for these crazy times - we are all a little off center! Love those houses.

    I think it looks great! Symetry is way over rated! Those houses look like fun and more my style (simple / easy) lol. I hope you and yours are safe and health, xo

    Love your fussy cut windows in your little houses! The wool applique is beautiful and is going to make a stunning quilt. Glad the dog got the rest of it's haircut--lol!

    Beautiful new header photo, my friend!
    Pretty applique block. I find wool applique very soothing and satisfying.
    Even with a limited stash you have done well finding some fun fussy-cuts for your houses.
