Is there more colour in some of the other months? It’s going to look so lovely with all the houses together
Yes, I think so, at least there were lots of bright colours listed in the key! But it’s a SAL of typically British houses so it’s not that surprising that there’s a large amount of greys and browns. The light isn’t great in our temporary accomodation so that doesn’t help either.
The houses are seasonal, so the first one (January - Edinburgh) has little colour and lots of snow, the second one is getting better (February - Harrogate) and I expect a bit more colour in spring.
I’m looking forward to seeing more pictures as it progresses
Here’s my inspired by music stitch for Feb!
I have been going through my scrap piles lately for various projects and I came across this center square that was a cut off from a quilt block. The “sunshine” stamped scrap was a cast away from another project. When I put the two together I couldn’t get this song out of my head…so it became a little mug rug/coaster!
This is lovely!
Nice save on the “other projects” to make this!
You should enter it in the Quiltalong as well!
These are pretty, I hope they’re in the sampler! I’m still stuck at Harrogate but so far we’ve got Edinburgh, Harrogate, London and Belfast. I’m hoping for York as well, since that’s one of my favourite UK cities. York also wins the prize for best haberdashery shop in the UK, Duttons for Buttons.
Good to know for whenever I next venture that far North.
Those look like stripped down Victorians!
Or maybe like “little boxes on the hillside…”
Which both make me think of San Francisco.
Announcement Time
And March marches in!
Our winner for February is… @Abbeeroad!
Our March theme will be… Architecture Adventures!
Inspired by @Immaculata’s current needlework, the wonderful Bristol houses shared by @Renstar and the Architecture Adventures class I’m taking with Alisa Burke, let’s stitch up something inspired by the beautiful architecture around the world!
Some additional inspiration:
What an awesome theme!
Don’t forget that there is a prize awaiting at the end of the quarter!
What an interesting theme…I have a few ideas brewing!
That mug rug is so adorable and cheerful! love the new theme too!
One of the prompts for the Alisa Burke architecture adventures class is “scrappy cityscape” and my brain just kept wanting to go to fabric, so I did!
I love how you are able to easily go from paper to fabric with your scrappy-ness!
I love this!!! I love that it pushed you in a different direction, but it still totally resonates with your style and aesthetic.
Aw, thank you, friend!
Painting with fabroc. That city scene is wonderful.
I love the busy, slightly chaotic feel of the skewed angles. Make me think of a bustling city.
Lovely piece!
