I made sure before I came to town for the week to get block 8 done for the Little House Sew Along. More on that later, as well as something else I worked on.
What I’ve worked on that I didn’t take a picture of is one of the runner rugs for our bedroom. I’m cutting t-shirts and finger crocheting it. The tops of the t-shirts are being made into many throw away rags for all this deep cleaning we need to do. (Yes, we can wash and reuse them too, just depends on the mess)
My list from last week:
- Try my best to make block 8 of the Little House Sew Along–done
- Get as many pictures taken and descriptions written in my notebook as I can for items to list on eBay.–pictures of 14 items for listing.
- At home, put my bedroom back together!–heading upstairs next to finish cleaning up the floor.
- At home work on making trivets.–I did at least start one, but had forgotten about making the runner rugs.

Block 8 for the Little House Sew Along took some thought, but I like it. I’m not seeing block 9 announced yet, which is good by me. I won’t be back to Inman until Monday night.
I spent a few hours Monday and Tuesday at the quilt shop with a group of quilters. I worked on the hand quilting of my handmade quilt. A long way to go to be done. I’m betting this will stay in the bag again until I go back to sew with them next month.
By next Wednesday I plan to:
- Finish one of the runner rugs and start a 2nd one.
- Find out what block 9 of the Little House Sew Along is
- Finish a plarn bag.

Your block 8 looks great! I like the pretty colors in the strips that form your heart and the way you oriented it in the block. Beautiful quilting stitches on the handmade quilt, too!
I like the contrast in the colors you picked for your Block8! 🙂
Such a cute block! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Looks good! The final block is now available a supe fast to make. Thanks for joining the Block party and sew along!
The sampler block turned out beautifully! Good luck with this week’s to do list.
What a clever way to use! I use them to dust, but I’ve not crocheted one. How wide are your strips? Your block came out beatufully! You will finish your quilt before you know it! A friend of mine consistently takes different projects to our various sewing groups with “completinguccess”. I’ll have to see if I have any T-shirt ready to be up-cycled.
anywhere from 1/2 to 1 inch., depends on how think you want the rug. If I cut shorter strips then I do the fold over and cut a slit on each strip to pull thru to connect, but on the longer strips I actually tie a knot to put them together.
