Not my finest photo--but whatever, I had to get a post up. The small houses were started a few weeks ago--they are OK to me, but REALLY need a larger setting to blend in somewhere. The yellow house was my attempt last week--I was trying to get rid of some scraps and now this house is teaching me all about color value---I don't think that there is enough of a difference between the background fabric and the yellow dotty fabric....but initially it looked fine to me.I was very inspired by Kristin La Flamme's work on houses and made some taller houses this morning...I also found some blue background that reads as a medium and I like it a lot and I have an amount of it, so maybe I can make a few more and see where this goes... we will see. Glad to finally get a post in---I have been reading what people have been posting and it is just great!! Love all the quilting!

I love your houses! Now I want to do houses too. And bugs and flowers and trees and more teacups - and of course words, words, words.
Your houses look nice. I like your fabric choices a lot. The blue pieced roof caught my eye!
Great houses! You're not afraid of them! They look so fun.
I should clarify... my impression is that you are willing to play and not be afraid of the wonkiness, which communicates a wonderful sense of joy. :-)
I love the very tall houses and the ones with trees too.
The houses are fun ! I like the yellow big one, it looks like a laughing face
i like kristin's houses too! and there is a really great playfulness going on here that i like.
Actually, I really like your yellow house, and I think the roof provides the contrast between the background and the house colour. It reminds me a dusk when the light is low and everything has a glow on it. I love your tall houses, and your wild prints. I wish I had the nerve to paint my house those colours.
I love tall houses, specially ones with rooves to match and a chimney or 2 toppling over. You've done a brilliant job. I do see what you mean about the background with the dotty fabric, but never mind. Onwards and upwards. I love the one bottom left.
I really love the tall houses! The yellow one is fine too, don't worry about the background on that one. Looks great!
