I am honored to have my block in the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 7! This brand new issue will be available beginning of may but you can win your copy during this Blog Tour. But first I would like to introduce my block...
Today, I show you my little house block that you can find in this issue. I like how house blocks can be done in many different colours. That remind me the sweet fishermen villages from North Europe, and also those we can see along our american coasts. But this house is not a floating house, neither build on the sand, it's just a cute little house, proudly standing on the top of a hill. This way, you can choose your favourite flower fabric for the ground. ( as I did in my quilt below, to add a folk touch).
This cute block can be used in many different projects like cushions, pot holder, doll quilt and more. I have made a little wall hanging to warm my home, duplicating the bottom of the block and adding a red ribbon in the border as shown below:
To enter in a drawing to win a copy of Quiltmaker's 100 blocks issue or a subscription to my 2013 BOM, be sure to leave a comment on this post. Just visit my Craftsy shop and let me know what is your favourite block. The winners will be posted here on Saturday!
Enjoy the tour!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful block!
ReplyDeleteI sure do like that foundation paper-pieced cow!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing variety of paper-pieced patterns! I'm a sucker for star blocks, so I really like SunStar. But I kept looking and wow! Your animal patterns are so realistic looking! But I think the most unique patterns are the ones of the fairy tales - Snow White, Goldilocks, etc. Not sure that I can pick just one to be my favorite... Bookmarking your site!

ReplyDeleteI love house blocks and this is no exception. Congrats on inclusion in the magnificient magazine. You are making us work for the giveaway. All your Craftsy patterns are great! I'm leaning toward the owl paper piecing. My daughter saw a cheater cloth with owls. She said it would be cute if she had a little girl. She's not into pink for her boys. So, I'd make something owlish for her younger son. Of course, the older one might get a bigger version.
