Weekend sewing

Whew, I just got there, I have finished my March Farmer's Wife blocks, the last two are #51 Hovering Birds and #52 Hovering Hawks.so I have 23 blocks in total.  On Wednesday evenings I have been going to a two hour quilt class where I have been working on my Vignette shoo fly blocks.  I was happily sewing away with only two left to piece when my sewing machine died!  Thankfully I have plenty of hand sewing to carry on with until it is fixed, my Home Sweet Home penny rug with Melody was the perfect choice.  Part three was to add a school house, I think the builder forgot his plumb line when my school house was built, it is rather wonky!!    Wendy xx

  10. Pretty cute school house even if it is a tad wonky!
    I am wanting all your FWQ blocks, they look fabulous. Are they all from scraps or do you have fabrics picked out specially?
