I started the house block at a workshop in September 2013 with Becky Goldsmith at Piece O' Cake. She was the guest speaker at our meeting and then 20 of us attended an applique workshop with her the next day. I finished the applique within a couple of weeks of the workshop but did not get back to working on it until about a month ago when I started adding embroidery and buttons and then hand quilted it. The finished size is about 15.5" square. I plan on adding a hanging sleeve and displaying it somewhere in my house.
I even had Becky sign the label for me...
My next handwork project will be a wool applique block started at a workshop earlier this year taught by Jill Buckley aka, The Quilt Rat. (more embroidery and some beads this time instead of buttons!)
Fantastic finish Gail! Perfect lighting for photos!
ReplyDeleteI love the house block! The colors just sing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics for that house block! I wouldn't have thought to combine them, but they are fabulous together! So summery ... just delightful!
ReplyDeleteOh your little wall hanging is so cute! That border sets it off nicely and how great that you have Becky's signature on the back. I am sure you will find a perfect place to hang it. It definitely needs to be displayed and enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteThat house block is adorable. Loved it from the beginning and it is even more beautiful now that it is all embellished and quilted. Congrats on a great finish.
ReplyDeleteLovely hand stitching on your house block and that wool looks fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute wonky house hanging...lovely and bright
ReplyDeleteCongrats on you house finish! I look forward to watching your progress on the wool felt project. I love to work with wool felt.
ReplyDeleteFelicitaciones!!!
ReplyDeleteuna casita preciosa...
I love your wonky house. I am looking forward to seeing the wool project also.
ReplyDeleteOh, how cute! I might have to try wool applique one of these days. I like the look of the beads on your leaf.
ReplyDeleteReally adorable wonky house quilt! You have found some fun workshops to go to.
ReplyDeleteSo lucky that you were able to attend a Becky Goldsmith workshop. I once was registered and the class was cancelled and there have not been anymore in my area. Nice wonky house.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I love this little quilt! Great colours, and the hand quilting is the perfect final touch. I hope you have put it somewhere you can admire it often!
