Welcome to My House Blog Hop!


I'm excited to be participating in this hop! A big thanks to Carol from Just Let Me Quilt for organizing this for us.


***********************

The theme of this hop is (clearly) houses, and we needed to have a house or houses included in our project. My project has four houses. It is a table topper I designed that I'm calling "Around the Cul-de-sac."

The topper is a 24" octagonal mat, and is sewn in WoolFelt and embroidery floss.

There's some detail on the houses:

And lots of small flowers with french knot centers:

The houses sit around a center cul-de-sac, and are flanked by trees:

The pattern is available in my Etsy shop and my Craftsy shop.

Thanks so much for visiting and commenting. I will reply to all comments via email, unless you're a No Reply blogger. I appreciate your thoughts!

Finally, be sure to visit all the participants in the hop:

    What a fun design! It really sings with me since I live on a cul-de-sac and have for 39 years. I love the colors you chose. They work together wonderfully. The flowers are a delicate touch. Thanks for participating in the hop and getting the hop off to a wonderful, creative start.
