Country Homecoming Sew Along

My blocks for Oct.  We all agreed to speed up this sew-along and finish two blocks per month.
 Oh my, I'm getting far behind on doors/windows.
 I'll put other projects aside and do the hand stitching at night while watching the telly with DH.
To see other great houses (with doors/windows) go HERE.

My background fabric is Osnaburg, purchased from eBay seller several months ago.  There were ten yards all folded, not easy to work with.  I decided it would be easier if yardage was accordion folded and came across this place where there was a break that had been sewn together.
 I cut next to green threads and now have a three yard piece to work with.  I really like the Osnaburg and may purchase a few more yards. It's perma pressed so doesn't shrink and wrinkle like some muslin, also it's hefty and not as see-thru.

Pibbs is holding his own, soaking up a bit of heat on the back patio. He likes to be "under" the Bromeliad plant when I sit it out.   Maybe he is pretending to be a jungle cat- LOL.
We cannot wait to see the FedX truck Tuesday, delivering the much need insulin and needles for Pibb's diabetes.  I know Pibbs will be feeling so much better once he gets that med in his system.
