Homecomings Parade!

Time for our monthly Homecoming and the beginning of a Homecoming Parade!  Anne(Cottons ‘n Wool) got the ‘snowball’ rolling and it keeps getting bigger and bigger.  You heard me, more quilters have found the book and have been building houses!  This is only our third completed house so there is PLENTY of time for you to join in!

These houses are fast and VERY easy to make…the windows are easy and can be stitched while watching TV…so common, join in…you know you wanna…

Here’s this month’s mansion…

P1180988

I am going to LOVE this quilt…and am so GRATEFUL that Anne and her gal pals inspired me..forcing me to JUMP IN!  This quilt has been on my Bucket List for years…and THIS was the time…it was NOW OR NEVER!! {Wow…the orchestra just struck up…Can you hear Elvis singing in the background?}  Yes, it was meant to be…and apparently, Elvis agrees!

Three blocks down…nine to go! 

P1180990

Yup…the  hood is looking mighty fine…

P1180989

I can send Elvis your way as “It’s now or never”… for YOU to join in too…

If you’re not joining in because you don’t like homespuns or don’t own homespuns, then think again!!  You can make your houses in your choice of fabrics.  When you go on the Homespun House Parade, you will notice that Kim has picked other fabrics to make her houses with and has achieve a whole different look.  Very nice!

Well I am off visiting…care to join me?

    I'm not on the list but do have three houses sewn. They still need windows, doors and such but at least the house part is "built".

    Yours look great! Inspires me to keep working on mine.

    Looking good! I smell fresh baked chocolate chip cookies coming from one of your houses. I'll be right over. :)

    Love your homespun houses! I would love to join as I too fell in love with that pattern, but cannot get a copy of the book. Do you know where I can find one? Thanks!
