Works in Progress Part II

BOY IT'S BEEN hot here! I guess we've finally joined the rest of the country with the roasting weather. I can't complain though we've gotten off extremely easy this summer. I pray each day for all those who are trying to beat the heat, have lost homes, crops, and love ones due to the heat and fires this summer. It's been quite a year!

We've been out playing in the sun mostly, but to beat the heat today I am finally getting back to my projects. I am so thankful for my basement. It's pretty cool down there and makes sewing a definite possibility during this heat wave!

So last time I was putting the center together. If you didn't see that you can go back here... Then I had to put on the interior boarders.

Now I'm getting to the picket fence boarder. It's coming together nicely!! I may have to keep this one for me!

First I had to make the tops of the pickets. So lots of marking squares and sewing on the diagonal.

Once I got the corners on to make the "little houses" then I had to make a strip set and cut them into 2 1/2 inch strips to connect the little house pieces to make the fences.

At this point I have only one last boarder to make. Then the final boarders and I'll be done! So stay tuned! Enjoy your day!!
