Was not sure I would finish the block in time, but taking a bit of a staycation gave me the spare time. I stitched the yellow house block this month:
I ran into a dye lot problem - I thought I could get all of the dark brown stitched with what I had of a skein of GAST Wood Trail, but I ran out. My other skeins are either too light, or extremely variegated. Nothing like the original skein at all. So I'm having to cut off the too-light parts of the strands of one skein and just use the darker bits. Argh.
