Vacant Lot, POTC









There is a possibility that we will turn the first shovel of dirt on the construction of our new home either later this week or early next week. (This is starting to sound like a broken record!) Hopefully the permits will be issued today. Here is a picture of Jeff and me at the lot. We met a couple of our neighbors and they seem very nice and welcomed us to the neighborhood. I am going to have to practice patience if I am going to survive the building process. The most important room - my sewing room - is fully designed and in my head it is already finished. I just want to be there sewing!

The Patchwork of the Crosses block today is Row 2, Block 1. I would never have put these fabrics together in another style block because they would have fought with each other but in the POTC they play off each other to add dimension, movement, and interest. If you haven't been there yet, please visit Linda Franz' website....www.lindafranz.com There you will find so much information on Inklingo, links to projects and her blog is full of information as well as tutorials. You will want to spend the day there.

I would not want to go through the home building process but how exciting to get to plan a sewing room from scratch.

What glorious trees in the background!
Love your block -- isn't it interesting how some fabrics just play together so perfectly for this block?

All your Lucy Boston POTC blocks are wonderful. I hope to start on mine soon.
