A few months back, my bee decided that we needed another swap to make quilts all alike - and someone had the idea of using the pattern Beach Cottages Isn't this just as cute as can be! So, we all used the same backgrounds for the houses ( each row has a different blue ) and we made 12 houses each then swapped. It's us to us to make the trees, cabanas and sun and finish. I've been working on mine this week, well sorta with other stuff, and I think it's going to be really cute! Makes me want to go to the beach... dip my toes in warm water and drink mai tais all day... dream on!
So, this is my first row, just on the design wall, not sewn yet. House #1 is very special. One of my buds took a picture from a year ago or so, shrunk it tiny and put it in the window of the house - pretty cool!! I really thought that was a great thing to do for our quilts.
I don't know if you can enlarge this enough,, but we are all there! On the beach, dipping our toes and drinking mai-tais... aaaahhhh the life of a quilter!More later...
