Block A and my Daughter's Stitchery

Block A is finally done.  I love how it turned out.  I love the stitcheries in this block.  They were so fun to do.  At the bottom right is the dog house that my 12 year old daughter, Emily, stitched.  She did such a great job don't you think?


Here is another picture.  Please ignore the date printed on the bottom left - I am not sure how it is that it is the wrong date.




I have stitched the flower wreath and dog house for Block C and am on to the big house!  That should keep me busy for awhile

Happy stitching everyone!

Thanks. Emily wanted to make the quilt too, but that might be a bit ambitious, so I am not sure yet what it will be, but she sure loved stitching the dog house and is on to watering the garden!

I think it is great that your daughter is contributing to the quilt. It will make it more precious...Lee and I shared fabric so we'll have something of each other's in our quilt.
The house is time consuming but I thought it went rather fast with all the straight(crooked)lines.

Your block is beautiful. I love the little dog house that your daughter stitched, isn't it great when the kids want to learn to stitch 'just like Mum'. My girls love to have a go too. The fabric colours you are using are gorgeous, can't wait to see your next block.
