Moda Blockheads blocks #33 and 34.
I have been under the weather lately and just haven’t felt like sewing…believe it or not. Usually I go to my sewing room no matter what because I feel that if I am sick I will be sick anywhere so I may as well be where I enjoy the atmosphere. This was not the case this time and it has been really hard getting my sewing groove back in place.
Block #33 is the Starz block by Jo Morton. I think everyone knows by now that I love the star design in quilts and this is another one to add to my list.
Block #34 is an applique block called (appropriately) House by Jan Patek. I am not good at applique but with Jan’s easy to follow directions and the big pieces, I managed to end up with something that I am not ashamed of.
I really enjoy being a part of this fun block of the week group. The designers have supplied us with beautiful blocks and I’m sure I am not the only one that has learned something along the way.

Hi Peggy! YAY – you’re back. I am SO glad you are feeling better. {{Hugs}} Since you have brought me over to the star side of things, I LOVE the starz block! So cute! And so is your House block (how did they come up with that name??!) – it looks welcoming and a fun place to be. ~smile~ Roseanne

Thanks Roseanne. I guess I can add ‘house builder’ to my resume now. 🙂

Glad to see you back also. Your blocks look great! I did a massive push the last 10 days and think I have a little burn out……It will come back!

Thanks….you’re right. The colors are sort of ‘Spring-y’ and I didn’t even think about that. 🙂

Thank you Kathy. Seems like the older I get, the longer it takes me to recuperate. 🙂
