Peaceful village

My little baby quilt with houses is now complete.

I'm Soooo in love with this quilt!

 

Houses! Trees! Stars!

and LOTS of swirls.

The little village is peacefully resting

in a gentle breeze!!!

As you can see here...

I've used my red gingham sheet again!!!

This sheet is like the fabric that NEVER ends!!

It looks good as a binding on so many quilts!!!

I'll keep using it

and keep LOOKING for another

red gingham sheet!!!

It's Tuesday, and I've crossed another quilt off my list!

 

My quilt top pile is a little bit lighter!!!!

Woohoo!!!!

 

I have a big TRIP planned for next week...

LONDON!!!

How much sewing can I accomplish

while I make plans????

That is the question!

A little sewing...

A little planning....

A little dreaming.....

Then...

A little more sewing!!!

LOL!

 

I'll have some time to roam around on my own while I'm there.

Dear husband will be in a couple of meetings.

I'd love to get some LONDON tips from you!

Good morning!

I woke up today and began working on my

LITTLE house quilt.

 

I. am. loving. it.

I made some little trees last night to use.

Went to my SPARE PARTS dept.

ie....Orphan drawer...

and found these little tiny stars

I had been making 2(?) years ago.

 

It's going to a VERY fun quilt!

Can't wait.

 

My day is BUSY...

so.... I DO have to WAIT.

(Should be OFF computer

getting ready right now!!)

You know me!

Have to gab about current project

the MINUTE

something FUN gets started,

the MINUTE it

gets moving...

or

the MINUTE

it gets DONE!!!

I WILL be carrying my NEW BAG though!

Kind of quirky??

 

Yah.

That's me.

;)

Growing

My little house quilt is growing.

:)

Since I'm making it up as I go.....

I'm letting the SCRAPS dictate the size!!!

 

The houses range from about 4 1/2" to 5" tall.

That means....

They won't line up real well in a row going across.

But.....

 

I COULD line them up in a column!

 

Many options.

Lots to DREAM about!

Lots of scraps that need HOUSING!!!

LOL!!!

 

I think these houses need some trees...

and maybe some stars....

hmmmm.......

I sure Love DREAMing!

 

 

Happy New Year!

The house blocks are ALL in!

Thank you for joining in the fun!

LOVE all the different houses!

 

Isn't quilting the greatest??

It meets us RIGHT where we are.

I love ALL the details in these gorgeous

blog homes!!!!

I hope you can be thankful for

quilting and friends this year!
