Week 35 - House Block
Oh dear goodness, it has been so hot in the Hawkes Bay the last couple of days. I am so thankful that we put in air conditioning in the shop - sanity saving. I just need it at home too.
This week we are making one of my favourite blocks - the House Block. I want a whole quilt of these very traditional blocks.
There are a couple of methods you can use to make this block - foundation paper pieced or the traditional method of cutting out all the pieces and sewing them together.
This week we are going traditional and sew our usual way. The only tricky bit is the roof section. I will be doing a wee video tutorial on how to cut the angles for the roof section but I’m sure the pattern will also give you all the info you need. I am a visual person so a video helps me out.
We have a School House pattern in the shop - I told you I love this block - that is a slightly different designed house as well.
Send me an email or give me a call if the roof section is not as clear - I think the video will help but I’m happy to chat about it as well.
Take care and I’ll see you back here next Wednesday.
Christine
