What plant is this?

This one grows on the south side of my house... I really don't know what it is, but the leaves  look really familiar.  I think it's some kind of  Hydrangea, but the flowers are all wrong.  They look  like downward facing bell flowers.


Do they ring a bell with you?
 
So it's Friday!
 
Have a great weekend.

Finished Hagrid's Hut



I like how this one turned out.  On this version there is a thatched roof and a weedy lawn.


All four of the most recent makes.  Next up is the fairly new pattern for the Extendible Ears.  I just happened to find my flesh colored fabrics recently. 

Hope you are having a great Monday.

Still working on the Hut

Hagrid's Hut, that is.  Not many seams left to do, but try to find some time to sew.


I know you all have the same problem.

Sewing what I want!

You know I love Harry Potter...

Well, right now I haven't got a deadline to meet, so I'm making a few more Harry Potter blocks from Fandom In Stitches.  I like making them. Lately it seems I'm having trouble picking colors. I'm making the castle right now

 Only 2 more seams to sew.  Below, see what I mean about choosing fabrics?  I like the rocks, but it seems more like  a fabric for Hagrid's cottage. I love the sky I chose, magical. With the roof color it seems kind of dark, (it is night time).  I might have to retry this pattern with other colors.  What do you think?
 
It isn't the easiest pattern.  Making Hagrid's cottage next. Stop by and see.

Robes

Next I made the "Robes" pattern from Harry Potter.

(Paper piecing always brings me out of a funk.)


It's an easy pattern.

Happy Monday.

Here's the Slug Finish

As promised

I usually like to make the subject of the paper pieced pattern a richer color than the background. You can hardly see his antennae. Maybe I should make this block again... I wanted the slug to be yellow like the Banana Slug encountered by my kids when they were at Bible Camp in the 80s in the Santa Cruz  mountains in CA.
The pattern is at Fandom In Stitches or at Eat Slugs in case you want to make one.  LOL
 
 
Have a great weekend.

Guess What

This giveaway contest is finished. (8-15-18) Ann won with the answer of a "slug".  Thanks for playing.



I goofed up and forgot to have a giveaway for my 600th post.  Now I'm at 605 and I remembered...
So I'm going to award these 5 witches


 to the one who can identify this block (below) that  I'm paper piecing.



 
Hint: These are the only pieces, and they are individually complete.  I will sew them together and show them once someone guesses correctly.

Good Luck
Hugs,
Terri
