I would post this pattern

This would be cute  to hang up around the festive time of the year

You can make it you own by putting little things other then what it is on the tree

 

 

ok, I know I had post another pic of my quilt that I am working on

I took it apart , ok I haven't totally did it yet...but I started another one

I wanted the house to resemble our house and this quilt to resemble our land

gardens, and such.

so the first pic is the house and one post of the porch and one window

second pic is of all of the post of the porch and two of the windows and of course the door.

their is two more windows on the front of our house. And our house is blue...with shutters, but I have decided to not to put the shutters on the house

 

 

 

I hope you all

ENJOY!
