Winter House Quilt construction continues here at the Simply Colorful fiber studio.
I've been played with house placement on the top and edges.
This quilt's going to be unusual -- a one of a kind for sure! Don't do this at home - I'm not sure all this overlay, after-the-fact placement and piecing is worth all the extra effort of Y seams and unsewing.
I need about 30 houses for the perimeter. 15 are done. 15 more to go. I'd like to have them done in time for Fiber Cast this Friday so we can go back to the strip piecing.
And true to form, I made a miscalculation on one of the roof lines, leaving raw edges exposed. It was easily fixed with an appliqued bird.
Do you think the cats on the roof will catch the bird?
Speaking of adding whimsy into the houses ...
We now have football players in the garage. (No Pats jokes, please...Congratulations Broncos!)
Cute cowboys playing in a Christmas house.
Betty doing laundry. (Who's she?)
And my favorite, the school bus in the garage.
How are your projects coming this week?
Want to join me on Friday night for a bit of sewing?
Next Simply Colorful Fiber Cast is 8PM EST on January 24, 2014.
I'll post the URL on the Simply Colorful Facebook, Twitter, and Google feeds a few minutes before "show time." As always, the recorded replay will be available afterward if you miss the LIVE event.
Come see our slightly new studio look (thanks to viewer feedback) and sew with me!
