Topic: Houses - Thoughts/suggestions welcome! (1/1) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Enjoy "Color My World" by Wendy Williams - This beautiful quilt is constructed of soft and textural shot cottons from Windham fabrics on a richly patterned background. It offers so many opportunities for personalization through both embellishment and quilting- you could add house numbers, decorations, people, pets, garden flowers- there are so many ways to make this quilt truly your own!

Let's use this Topic "Color My World Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful work. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.

The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.

AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

JudithA OFFLINE Posts: 520 Thank you received: 269	Nina, You might want to look at Wendy Williams' quilt, "Round the Garden" in the January 3 newsletter. The closeups show a nice variety of window treatments you might like. I hope I do this link right. I am technically-challenged. I don't see the newsletter listed in the menus at to top. thequiltshow.com/daily-blog/142-newsletter/29960-see-round-the-garden-a-quilt-by-wendy-williams Judy

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	Ninabeheim, you can do some interesting quilting in the white windows, with different colored threads. There is enough contrast between the windows and the house.

Waiting on my freezer paper sheets to arrive from Amazon, so I cut my pieces last night, and made my first house the "old fashioned way" - sewing on paper.

I'm using all Tula Pink solids, and thought different lighter colors for the windows would be good (like white/yellow). Now I find myself staring at my house on the design wall thinking "Yer white windows need help".

Should I re-make the house w/different colored windows - OR - maybe SITD around the window using a 28wt black thread to give the windows a bit of definition? Thoughts/suggestions welcome!

(need to clean my design wall - there's thread/fabric shnibbles all over it! and looks like I splattered coffee on my phone lens. <sigh> )
