A MID WEEK FINISH

I sewed the last few seams together to finish the Hillside Houses quilt top.  Hubby held it up for me to snap a couple of pictures.   This was a really fun top to make, and I'm a fan of solids now for sure!

I used a few different yellows for the windows which makes it have more depth

Next month, I have an appointment with the quilter.  So looking forward to seeing what she does  : )

Just LOOK at this backing!  Houses no less.  It's called Shanty Town by Brandon Mably for Westminster Fibers.  I think that's what I will call this quilt when it's finished.

Have a lovely week end

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

There's been a bit of construction going on this week. These house blocks have been a lot of fun to piece.

My neighbourhood is getting big fast!

I need to stop and re-read the instructions because I'm a bit lost right now. Time to sew my pieces together into rows and go from there.  I think the quilt sort of 'twinkles'  : )

Thanks so much for all the nice comments of my last post. A couple of readers suggested a hat to match.  I do have a hat on the needles but it's not turquoise. Perhaps the next one, as a baby can never have too many hats.

Enjoy your week.

HILLSIDE HOUSES

So...........I started yet another new project.  I've had a gorgeous bundle of solids sitting on my shelf for about a year just staring at me and as luck would have it, I stumbled upon this quilt along that was just getting started !  It's being hosted by Pretty Little Quilts and you can find the info here

and 3

.......and here is 'main street'

Aren't they fun ? !  These are huge blocks so I'm thinking this will be one very big quilt. This first row measures approximately 60".  I can hardly wait for the next set of instructions : )

Enjoy your week
