I had already cut these poppy blocks after seeing some on Marilyn's blog. So I assembled them - I left the black stitching on the circles for a daytime sewing session. They are for Aussie Hero Quilts. I couldn't commit to a whole quilt, but a few blocks will always help.
Then I put my "Bob the Builder" hard hat on and constructed a building for my Welcome to the North Pole quilt. I was really sorry I couldn't do this last year when there was a group going, but I am having fun with it now.
This is the Coffee Shop (originally the Marble House - but patterns are just a guide - aren't they??) - I figure Santa & Mrs Claus need a few good cuppas to get them through that busy season... I know I do....I am thinking they are going to need something more than a coffee...maybe a pub???
There will be a lot of embellishments added - especially a roof!
Thanks for everyone's company and thanks to Wendy or hosting and providing recipes.

Nice blocks, Susan, I bet Santa wouldn't mind a pub after all that hard work, why not? :) xx debbie
You're on fire, hope the snow doesn't melt....Love the poppies too
Beautiful blocks...
They are great poppies Susan... and any time is a great time to be making the North Pole hanging... love the coffee shop... Santa would not be a good example to the kiddies or grown-ups if he went to his pub then got behind the reins of his sleigh, LOL!
Those Poppy Blocks look great...
Hmmm! coffe Shop is a good idea. I think the elves would love that too !!
Have lots of fun with the North Pole. I did.
Love the poppy blocks and the idea of a coffee shop at the North Pole. Can't think of a better place to have one!
Those poppy blocks are really effective..... Coffee shop is lovely and I'm sure it will surprise you that I think a pub sounds good

The poppy blocks are stunning - very striking colour, and great pattern.
