In my case I'm sewing minis. It's satisfying, fun and when you don't have a large project to work on but just wanna make...it fills that urge for the time being.

| HEART OF THE HOME PATTERN |
Welcome to my neighborhood! These tiny houses go together pretty quick and even though they are paper pieced, they are pretty easy and don't require too much precision.
Big heart or small heart, each one gets a little special treatment with some sort of detail.

The Gnome house might be a favorite of mine! Fussy cutting for the windows is one option, but I couldn't forget about the chimney! Meow!
Bears and bunnies anyone?! Truthfully, it takes longer to pick the fabric than it does to sew one of these minis, at least thats true for me!
You gotta find the right 'window dressing' that will fit inside the frame. The patterns come in three sizes: 4", 6" and 8". With a little juggling of fabric you can find the right size print to fussy cut for any size.
For the most part I've been free motion quilting each mini house. Which is why the quilting isn't perfect! I like to quilt the sky, roof, heart and house so that each has a different design. It might be a bit more time consuming, but FMQ speeds that up to some degree.
With the weather warming up the flower seeds I planted indoors needs to be transplanted. That's where I'll be if anyone comes knocking at my tiny house door!

ReplyDeleteIt’s so much fun to add the extra touches! Picking the fabric and window dressings take longer than making them!
