Today is the first day of the Blogger's Quilt Festival put together by Amy's Creative side! I hope you go over and visit all of the wonderful quilts!
Here is my contribution.
I called this quilt "Little Houses".
It was inspired by a Triangle MQG member's full sized quilt. I made this doll quilt for a swap our guild did this past June. I had a very hard time giving it up.
This was the first quilt I quilted on my new sewing machine Babylock Sofia. I love the effects of the pebble quilting.
I used some of my special scraps for the houses, my favorite Ashe gray for the bacground and border, and an Amy Butler dots fabrics.
I paper pieced the houses from a pattern I drew on the computer.
I especially loved the back Kaffe print.
Well thanks for stopping by.
Dont forget to visit Amy's Creatvie Side to see the other entries!
Keep dreaming...Colleen
BTW here is the quilt I got in the swap from the same person who inspired Little Houses. I love all the DS QUilts lovliness! It hangs on the door of my office where I can look at it every day. |
I love the little houses. It is so comforting and beautiful.

ReplyDeleteHow was the Flaunt Craft Fair btw? I ended up staying home to Skype with my hubby whom is deployed.
Such a sweet quilt! I adore tiny little houses. It's on my to-do list. I love the pebble quilting on the grey! It makes it look like they are on a little cobblestone street!
