Since this cold I caught has me home all of the prepared acorns have been stitched. Only seven more to stitch before Kork can be assembled. You can see why I wanted more tan browns. I am heavy into orange acorns. These next seven will correct that! This is a 2024 UFO.
It was a paper piecing weekend. First I made four more of the 100 that are necessary for the Kottages project (the red one was the first). A long way to go in making these cute 2 1/2" houses. This is a 2022 UFO.
Next and what occupied me most of the time is a project that I picked up from Marti when she was working at Ruth's Stitchery in Colorado Springs in 2016. It is called Rocky Mountain Escape and was part of the Row by Row Home Sweet Home Experience. I'll be calling my project Kolorado. This is a toughie! The instructions are good except for the log cabin block. Yeah I know what is to explain in the making of a log cabin block. Size!
On the left is the first sew with the widths as cut from the instructions. Well the fabric provided in the kit seemed wrong so I changed it out to my own similar fabrics. It finished at 4 1/2" unfinished. Then finding out where it belonged in the design had me make it with the original fabrics and it finished at 2 1/2" unfinished. Well it still won't fit and I really like how it looks in the project. I may try again or remove the last four rows so it will.
This is where I left off on Sunday evening. The log cabin unit is to be appliqued above the barn doors. Right now it is about 1/4" too big since it is to be set on point. All of these units sit on a bed of snow and surrounded by three borders. It finishes at 9" x 36". Think tiny pieces =^.^=
