You've Got Mail

I loved all your suggestions of what to add in to the house block for fun. Seems I need to embroider a biplane doing a loop to loop, being flown by a monkey eating a doughnut, accompanied by a flying pig (or two). Yes, conversations did take a strange twist last night.

While I contemplated all the possibilities I have done my clouds and sunrays. I tried to do different length stitches and spaces on the sun's rays, but I think even stitching is part of my DNA and I didn't manage quite the effect I was planning on, but I am still happy.

Why has my chimney gone all wonky suddenly?

I was all set to put a tree down by the duckies, but then I decided that if a quilter lived in this house - as she must - then there was only one thing for it. She needed to have just received a whacking big parcel of fabric. It is only right.


I've small details I want to add in here and there over the next few days. I can see myself doing more little quilts like this in the future as I am having such fun making it up as I go along.
