Thread Catchers

I've been wanting to make these for such a long time, but they've slowly been falling down the to do list.  However, Tudy made some the other week and it reminded me to do some.

Martha has a great tutorial, and they are so easy and satisfying to make.

I used 61/2" squares to do mine.

 

These were supposed to have been made last week, as part of the Orange Rainbow Scrap Challenge, but the cut out squares sat waiting until yesterday.  The buttons were found in my button tin, and were the perfect way to finish the points.

 

They were so quick to do, I don't know why I waited so long.

Rainbow Scrap Challenge-Orange

I'm off to a slow start with this one, but I've got there eventually.

I just about had enough for one string block,  

 

and I've got two blocks to add to my collection for the end of the year.

 

I had some fat quarters of orange fabric, but I decided to make something from them, rather than cut up for the scrap blocks.  Hopefully, you should see those in the next week.

 

Orange Houses

This month, Terry and I, and several others are building orange houses.  This month, I have two houses the same.

I like these ones a lot better than the red.  Next month is yellow, so I shall be looking out for some fabrics.

After building the houses, I even managed to get another bonus crumb block.  Keep going like this and I shall soon have enough for a quilt.
