Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 8

Welcome to Week 8 of my Stitch Sew & Show Linky Party.

Thank you to all who have been linking up.

I do not have a finished project this week, even though I have been sewing everyday.

These are my first three blocks for the 

Riley Blake Block Challenge 2021 ~ Blogged Here

This is only a 16 week challenge, so I am hoping I can stay on track.

The 4th Block was added yesterday to All RBD Block Patterns Here

and I hope to be sewing this block today.

Sometimes I like to sew - along.

Yesterday I made the first two blocks for March for my Temperature Quilt.

In January, I started my House Block Temperature Quilt Here

We have had another blast of artic air and two very windy days.

The lavender door represents a wind chill factor of more than 10 degrees.

The roof color is for the high temperature of the day

and the house color is for the low temperature.

I have to sew a few blocks for February and a few for January to catch up to date.

Here is the cutting for my 

My Temperature House Block Tutorial Here

There are many little house blocks out there 

but sometimes I like to design my own blocks

so I can sew them my way. 

Here is another block I drew up on paper and sewed my way.

It is a 6.5" unfinished Streaming Star Block.

I may also post a tutorial for how I sew this block.

Are you interested? 

Do you like to design your own blocks? 

What are you working on this week?

I Like Thursday #82 ~ Adding Color to Winter Days

 

A rainbow of color always makes me happy. 

These fabrics are for a new quilt that I am (finally) making for 2021.

A "Temperature Quilt" has been on my To-Do List for a few years.

A "Tiny House Quilt" has been on this list even longer.

A quilt that features the Kona Color of the Year ~ Horizon was added Here.

I have decided to check off all three of these boxes in one quilt.

I bought this jelly roll for the "sky" color for all my house blocks.

This is my color plan for my Temperature House Quilt 2021.

This idea is not my own.

I was inspired by a beautiful House Temperature Quilt in a Facebook Group to which I belong:

Tiny Houses Facebook Group

You have to be a member to see the quilts, but joining is easy

and there is a lot of inspiration in the photos. 

Here are the houses so far for this week.

These blocks measure 4.5" by 5.5"

I am making this quilt my by adding my own twists

I am making the door colors reflect the weather:

yellow for sun, gray for rain, white for snow.

I also added a light lavender door for "wind chill factor"

of more than 10 degrees. 

Yesterday and today are "snow house blocks" as we woke up to 5" of wet snow.

This little sister kitties have been doing a lot of snuggling on the fleece blankets.

The temperature is starting to drop more and temperatures

 are sinking into a polor vortex for the next few days.

I am staying in and sewing.

Fabrics marked and ready for sewing.

These little blocks are easy to make.

I now have lots of little temperature houses all in a row.

Because I was still setting up my plan and finding fabrics, I did not start this quilt until last week and I am currently working on catching up with these blocks so I have the month complete by the 31st.

Even the snacks next to my sewing machine have been colorful this week.

I have also been finding lots of colors to love in future quilts, like

My Favorite Color Is Moda @ FQS Blog

Free Spectrum Quilt Pattern

You do need

  My Favorite Color is Moda Pre-Printed Panel

for this quilt. 

There is also My Favorite Color is Moda Yardage

I have been sewing my stash as best I can this year,

but this yardage and panel is calling my name!
