Settler's Pride BOM Block 1, Done!

You thought I was goofing off, didn't ya? Well, I'll have you know that it's almost time to send out the next block of Settler's Pride so I was a woman on a mission. I needed to catch up, or almost catch up, with the Settler's Pride BOM ladies. I am now officially only one month behind schedule.

Take a look at what I did yesterday... I completed Block#1, TADA!!!! One down, only eight to go! Woo-HOO!

Settler's Pride BOM, Still in Progress!

I've made some progress, I have.

I've completed the three levels of grass, the cabin, the logs, the door, the flower's stem, and now I'm working on the fence. See??? Told Ya!

I think I'm lovin' this block. Well, now that I'm at least half way done I'm warming up to it, LOL!

I feel like the little engine that could, "I know I can, I know I can..."

Maybe I'll hav it done by the end of the week; who knows?

Stay tuned!

Settler's Pride BOM, Slow and Steady

I may not be fast but I sure am steady, hahahaha.....Here's what I have :
cabin, check
logs, check
door, check
1st grass, almost, LOL!
I had to put the fence in before I stitched the grass on so I fused it...
ah, c'mon! I was getting pretty tired of basting, cut me some slack, LOL!
I started basting the roof and it turned out that it was wonky.
Good thing it was just basting, eh?
OK, so that's it for now. I'm going to try and get some more crafting in before the guys get back from the movies...I wanted to go to the movies too, but I was "just not invited" as my Prince likes to point out. "Only Dad and Gene are invited", he says.
I'm not complaining, I'm just sayin'... might have been nice to see JLo's new chick flick, before it came out on DVD! The story of my life....

Settler's Pride BOM, Block 1

Now in progress~!I did it! I cut out all the pieces for my first block! I'm so excited!!!!
I wanted my quilt to look as close to the original one as possible so I made sure to order all the woolens from the designer's source. I'm so glad I did. They are amazing.
I spent the weekend cutting the kits and with the exception of this month's newbies they have all gone out. Since I am still waiting on the woolens for those, I thought I'd start my sample and now I can't wait to get started stitching it all down.
BTW... I really don't "get" the freezer paper... it peels off the wool when I cut it.
What's up with that? Maybe I'm a little too aggressive with the steam???
I decided to forgo my usual friend Mr. Fusible Web... and now my thought is WHY????
Too late now, LOL! Stay tuned for an update. =)
It's not too late to start your own Settler's Pride wool quilt.
