This was a BOM put out by Primitive Gatherings...lovely wool and Diamond Textile cottons!! Every two months Glynis received her row of HOUSES...and she would jump in with gusto! She admits she got sick of stitching windows and doors..and we DO NOT want to mention fence posts to Glynis.....but oh how sweet they are!
Glynis had her friend, Sharon custom quilt it for her...Sharon FMQ around each house, door, window, tree...must have taken her hours! Then she put in wee puffs of clouds, birds and smoke...not too much to detract from the quilt itself! Sharon did a fantastic job!!
Click on the first picture for a slide show for an up-close and personal look at Glynis' HOUSES! Her stitches are PERFECTION!!
Yes, Glynis outdid herself! Hope you enjoyed seeing her quilt 'up close and personal'! Now it will hang proudly in Glynis' own HOUSE for all her visitors to see! Right next to the defibrillator!
Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Stitching!~P
Thanks for the up close and personal! I have recently started this quilt (just got my second package), so it is nice to see the detailed photos. Glynis and Sharon have indeed done a beautiful job! And yes, even after just one row, I fully understand the windows comment!!
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes is that gorgeous! Of course the stitching is superb, but the colors are just right up my alley. Now if only there were a moose in the neighborhood...life would be perfect! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow!!! gorgeous piecing and quilting.
ReplyDeleteAsk Glynnis if I can be her girlfriend!!!??? I need to hang out with there and maybe I'd tackle projects like this!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful house quilt and beautiful work. I need to decide what to put together, hot today and i will be stuck inside, so good day to go in my sewing room with the air on;)

Really fabulous quilt! So much work involved!
ReplyDeleteAmazing pattern and beautiful work, an absolute show stopper.
ReplyDeleteEach building is a miniature masterpiece, so much detail. DDG for sure.
ReplyDeleteFabulous work by Glynnis!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to have an O2 tank alongside the defibrillator! I'd love to live in Glynis' cozy village! It's just going to take me a bit to decide which residence fits the best!
ReplyDeleteGlynis congratulations on sticking to this lovely project. Your quilter did a lovely job of enhancing your stitching.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
That's insane but in a good way, I bow to you Glynis.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is over the top stupendous--I can't find the words--heirloom quality!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful quilt and every time Glynis looks at it she will see something different amazing
ReplyDeleteHello, gorgeous quilt! Thank for the close-ups. There was a book with this quilt, in French, published by Quiltmania but it's out of print. A company called Stitch Publications (but wholesale only?) has the book in English

It really is a gorgeous finish. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWow, I really don't know what to say. This quilt is fabulous, so much work, just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful houses quilt! And, I can now say that I KNOW the maker! Absolutely loved meeting Glynnis when she came to Sisters. She's as lovely as you describe. I think we could all become BFF's quickly! (And her shoes were adorable)!
