HOUSES, HOUSES, HOUSES...

Glynis finished her 'HOUSES, HOUSES, HOUSES'  Quilt by Yoko Saito and it is DDG!!  That is quilters' lingo for DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!


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!! 
























So do you agree...DDG?!  Do I need to get the paddles out? :o)))

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

  1. 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!!

  2. Holy 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!!

  9. Don'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!

  14. Hello, 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

    You might also want to check out Yoko Saito's Mystery Village, published over several issues of the Quiltmania magazine a few years ago but also available as a set here:

    There may have been a pattern in English but I can't find it right now.

  17. Wonderful 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)!
