The Snowflake Block- Little House on the Prairie SAL

 Have you heard! Have you heard!  Today Melva at Melva Loves Scraps is posting Block 7 in the Little House on the Prairie Sew Along. Eeeeh! 

I have to admit I was a little intimidated by Block 6 the Snowflake block.  But with Melva's easy peasy instructions, I whipped up the Snowflake block without a hitch. 

"All day and all night, the house trembled, the winds roared and screamed, the snow scoured against the walls and over the roof..." - Laura Ingalls Wilder

Now is "my piecing" perfect? Well no , but that's just me! So please don't mind the imperfect points or any wonkiness. Of course, you see that in all of my quilts. Hee! Hee!

"Soon the snow would come. Then the log house would be almost buried in snowdrifts, and the lake and the stream would freeze."- Laura Ingalls Wilder

I am using fabrics in my stash some of which have been thrifted. 

Remember Melva is offering this Sew Along for free until the end of the event which you can find more information on Melva's website in the Introduction of the Sew Along.  Thank you , again Melva for all of the quilting fun! 🤗

The other day I was at the thrift store and found 2 more books from the Little House on the Prairie series to add to my collection.  I promptly started reading On My Way Home. 

Alrighty, Sweeties, I better get to work on Melva's newest addition. I wish you a beautiful day . 

As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting,

 y'all
