I know I don't need any more projects to work on, but I just couldn't help myself. I fell head over heels for these cute little 3" houses, and the idea behind them. The basic idea is you make one house every day of 2012 for a total of 366 (It's leap year). The houses are paper pieced, so you can write on the back of each house and record the date you made it, and anything special about that day. Fun! You can read about the original idea here: www.jeanneke.com/#post142, and there's a link from that blog to her Etsy shop, where you can order the pattern for these. I'm sure I won't make 366 of these, but I have made a few and here they are. Won't you take a tour of my neighborhood?

Nice houses! Where's the wedding day house? Like your blogs!
ReplyDeleteNice houses. Seems ashame to put the thoughts on the back to be sandwiched inside when it's quilted. June looks to be a happy month for you. Sandi
