Latest 6" patriotic block. Still behind, but have five done at least.
So interesting to hear of your WW experiences. There are lots of quilt bloggers who have lost large #s on WW, a hearty congratulations to you all and may I join you in the near future!
Last night, I was snoozing on the sofa and woke to see my son reaching for my 12" square revolving Olfa cutting mat to kill a roach on the floor. The philistine. My son, not the roach. I hollered "not the Olfa!" and he began to look over my quilting supply table for something else to squish insects with (slow on the uptake) and I hollered "back -- away from the quilting supplies...go get my shoe". You'd think he would know by now that all quilting items are sacred :-).

Karen, what an adorable patriotic house. I love the background print you used. It's great!!!
What a cute house! YOur story about the bug cracked me up!
Thanks for the great chuckle! They just don't learn. My entire family was told their life would be worth nothing if I caught them cutting paper with my sewing shears. So one day I find my son cutting cardboard with my pinking shears!!!! His comment - well mom, it's not paper!
The little house is just a cute as it can be.
love your little house block - I have them on my list of blocks to make too
I really like your little house block, and I had to laugh at what your son did, because mine has done stuff like that so many times!
*giggles*
I can just see you... NOT THE OLFA! :D
Thanks for the laugh!
The house blocks are one of my favorites--like the red, white and blue.

I'm glad I don't deal much with bugs, so my quilting supplies are safe. I like your house.
Charming little block!
looking forward to meeting you-you can leave the bug at home! LOL
Your house is just toooo cute!!!
In my house - when the scissors are OK to cut paper with - I write PAPER on both sides with a Sharpie - if you are cutting paper - it better be with PAPER scissors. Yup - got to guard our stuff!
Cheers!

I'm still laughing at the Olfa story -- I bet he got quite a wide-eyed look *s*. Love your house block.
So funny. In Texas we have to deal with big water bugs that come inside every once in a while. Those things make me get on the couch. I almost killed my hubby one time when he killed a water bug with a quilting magazine.The lizards are the ones that freak me out.I shouldn't kill them I know, so I spray them with hair spray to paralyze them for a minute which gives me enough time to throw them back outside.
I love your house block too. It's so perfect.
