Once Upon A Story Row Along With A Guest

Marian at Seams To Be Sew is having her Once Upon A Story Row Along 

and today I'm sharing my blog with Lydia so she can share her fairy tale block.

There's also a giveaway arranged by Seams To Be Sew...thanks, Marian!

Take it away, Lydia!

A big thank you to Marian for bringing us her fifth great Row Along!

And Carol Swift for hosting me.....my first!

 Who doesn’t like fairy tales!?! 

My choice as soon as I heard the theme was Hickory, Dickory, Dock. If you have

never heard of it before, here is the beginning verse by Mother Goose.

Hickory, Dickory, Dock,

mouse ran up the clock;

The clock struck one,

And down he run,

Hickory, Dickory, Dock

I imagined these cute mice running around having a great time just before the clock strikes one.

Although the rhyme refers to a mouse, I needed to have mice having a wonderful time. The

ribbon comes from an experience I had at our camp. In the evening, I was stitching on a project

and left my pearl cotton thread out. When rising in the morning, I noticed a mouse had taken the

end of the pearl cotton and pulled it up to the back of the chair, along the window frame and to

the ceiling beams! What a laugh it gave me! No, I don’t have a fear of mice. 

For the clock it needed to be a grandfather clock with the feel of grandeur.

Can’t you just hear the deep sound as it strikes one? We have such a clock in our home.

My husband says it always strikes so he misses the beginning or end of a T.V. show! LOL

As for me, I feel the clock brings a heart beat to the house.

My block is made using cotton for the background with wool applique. The wonderful

background fabric is from Northcott fabrics. Don’t you think it makes the perfect “wall paint”

for the scene.There are many pages to the pattern so that you would not be confused by all

the pieces for the mice. I have made the pattern giving you easy reverse pieces to trace.

Thank you for downloading my block. Do go and visit the other bloggers who are participating

in this wonderful row along. Get my pattern HERE.
