Finally able to start stitching my wool felt houses after picking up 2 dozen yummy colors of Valdani thread. Some solid colors and lots of variegated. These are my first two houses. Since I can’t stitch these to my TBD whole cloth linen background until after the compass is done, perhaps later, I’m limited to basically doing doors and windows. Lots of fun embellishment to come. The house on the left is my childhood home. Hoping to add the flowering crabapple tree in our front yard.    nhbaskets, I love, love, love your wool houses, and the thread colors are to die for. I am really going off the pattern. Right now I still don't have power after a big wind storm, going on day 5 but we did get back telephone and internet. I decided since I live on a lake and the houses are quite close together, by road is going to be water, and a few little fish, and like you I am waiting for the mariner compass. I decided to go with one size house, and 3 different windows. I drew some lines out on black fabric to get some ideas but will use a different piece when I get to the point of putting it together and fusing it down. I know I have the wrong number of houses, but I wanted a little room between the houses so I can work in the trees and not applique them on the house like it looks like the fused bias taped is placed. Have no idea how all this will turn out but having great fun.HelenW  |

OK so I SINCERELY tried this method but I guess it's too delicate for me, so I made up my own house block so I can still play along some. Fused the windows but the rest is pieced and the plan is to heavily embelish each house with decorative stitching etc. The fabrics are Tula Pink's handmade.   Are you going to put them in a circle? |

  The 16 small houses for January done... BOM 2021 going to be great fun  I put snow on one roof - will do the snow differently once the houses are joined - or forget it altogether as I’m having different ideas on how to make this my own  Lotti, Love the snow on the roof. I have been without power since last Tues. night due to a wind storm that brought down a lot of huge trees in North Idaho. No sewing, but I have been making applique houses instead. Decided I was going to do the quilt applique. Was thinking I should put a tree laying on top of the house. There are so many houses that were hit by trees. Like a disaster zone. Hopefully it won't we long before the power is back on and I can turn my sewing machine on again. Got the internet up with a generator. HelenW |
