PINNING, PINNING--MATCHING and AARGH

 
The first two
rows of four patches are
sewn together
↧↧↧↧
I am marking their 
position so when
I sew the long rows 
together they will stay in
this order...

And so on....
I am managing to do one double row 
per sewing session...

**********************
On the house 
maintenance front:
We have two workers
doing our upkeep
this year....

Here you can barely
see the outline of 
a painter working
on our entryway 
today...
***************************
Kinda like pinning and
matching....
ONLY....
they are scraping and
painting...πŸ˜‚
And our new fence is being
stained also...

Sprucing up for Summertime...

*****************************
NOW FOR THE UGH!!!
↴↴↴↴
I gave this house block
a try--

BUT

I see that there is not
enough contrast...
Everything looks
kinda "mushy" 
and the roof looks "wintery"
while the house itself
looks "summery".
S I G H...

These fabrics are from
a Jolly Bar called
Fairy Tale...which
I love but somehow
I didn't choose very well...

AND

Also, my cutting must be off..
the left side will
lose its roof point
when I sew it together..

Well, ever have days like that?
Aaargh....😞It's not 
"what did I do wrong?"
Its rather--
I did EVERYTHING
WRONG...

Well, that'll keep 
me humbled--
won't it????

Hugs from my house(s)
