Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan-Claire Mayfield. This is day three hundred and twelve of that project.

This quilt block shows a house in front of a mountain range. The mountain range is a dark brown with a light brown outline stitching. The house itself looks like two barns attached to each other in the middle. It is a tan brown and has pen markings on it to indicate the metal roof, garage doors, windows and porch. There is a teal and light blue diamond shaped sign above the garage doors on the right. The ground the house is on is a polka-dotted duo-tone fabric that is a shade of brown of dirt. The sky is a light blue salmon patterned background. — Click To Enlarge

This is the house that Scott built.

In 1984 my late husband Scott and I began construction on our home.

It’s a big log house. He dug the hole, and after pouring the basement, I painted tar on the outside. We raised and set the logs and beams ourselves with nothing more than a block and tackle.

The only parts we didn’t do were install the metal roofing and pour the basement.

We built for four years.

Because our youngest was crawling, when we were working on the second floor, we put rope and harness on him and nailed the rope to the floor so I could work without fear he would crawl off.

He would play with his toys where I was working. We raised our sons there, and now one of them is raising his family there.

This is the farmhouse for Sisu Farms.
