My February block

I had not done my homework when we got together Sunday morning to work on our February block from "Home is Where the Heart Is".... I still needed to trace all my pieces onto the Steam-A-Seam! I basically just kicked back and relaxed and enjoyed the time with Karene and Yvette and especially our guest of honor, Ellen!

I could not for the life of me get the shingle materal to look as good on my block as it did for Karene! I eventually gave up and chose a new roof!

Here's my block, with all the fusing, stitching, and borders done. Honeymoon Cottage!













A slightly closer view...













Close up of the cat and dog..... they are pretty darned cute!













I simply could not handle the last part tonight. This block has Sew Many small curved pieces.... I need to wait til tomorrow to tackle the top band, which will have five hearts and ten little curved leaves! I know, I am a wuss....














I have next month's block instructions out, and hopefully, I will get my homework done this month!
