There's no place like home

Knit One Quilt Too Kristin here. After a couple of hectic weeks, I finally have time to show my progress on the red and white quilt. I immediately thought of Dorothy and had to do the Wizard of Oz theme. I put in four houses for the four of us. Each representing us in some way (me- the quilted window, Chloe- the house with dog bones and a heart, Ryan- the trains, hubby- the lovey dovey words. I then had to make a wee house for Scrabble. It was a lot of fun and I finally got to make a bunch of wonky trees to go with them. I can't figure out how to put the words on. All together at the top or bottom, or going around the borders? Any thoughts? There will be one more tree to fill out the middle space on the top, so it will be more or less square.

This second little top came about when I decided to do another of Chloe's sweet little houses. I'm not sure what I'll do with this yet. I'm enjoying seeing all the amazing creativity here!

Red & White Houses

Hi everybody! I'm excited to join yet another of Tonya's great groups. She's got great ideas, doesn't she! I already had a pile of red and white fabrics that I've been saving for a liberated house quilt so it was no problem to get started on this one (even though I should have been doing other things-shhh). At this point I've actually got all my words and houses done, but I'm just showing a sneak peak. I will try to get all the blocks together this week. The block above was intended to be a dog house, thus the appliqued door, but Chloe liked it so much it's hers now. The other houses will have free pieced doors and windows. The heart is there because there was a slub in the fabric that looked like it might cause trouble someday, so I appliqued over it. I look forward to seeing all the great ideas here!
