Little houses and yellow roses

I have finished stitching the blocks for my little village of houses, at least for the time being, and will now add some sashing  and then layer and quilt it.  This project is a lot of fun but also quite time consuming and I really need to get on to other designs.

I have mentioned before that yellow is my favourite colour so it is not surprising that I just love yellow roses and these were a very romantic gesture from my wonderful husband for Valentines Day.

Till next time
Frances

I may follow your lead there Frances, your little houses look so charming and a wallhanging will look great. Lovely flowers from Peter.

What a charming little village you've created Frances. I love it, so colourful.

So nice to see your roses too, and good to know you were not forgotten. My hubby really loves yellow roses [particularly Friesia]. Hope your week has been happy and productive. Cheers.

You have done a great job with your little house blocks, and your layout is big enough to give the idea of this quilt, well done!!!!
I enjoyed reading the article too in Homespun magazine!!! Love your yellow roses, I bet they had a divine fragrance!

Your little quilt top looks like an English village with all the house built up right next to each other and with a strong sense of community. Lovely Frances.

Wow! The blocks are lovely, and so are the Roses. My DH picked me a hydrangea flower and put it in a vase. I must say my Hydrangea flowers are about 10" in diameter. :-) The roses were finished.haha!
