Quiltmakers Parade of Homes

Earlier on this year I was asked by Quiltmaker magazine if I would like to be a part of their Parade of Homes.…of course I said yes!

We had to make Lori Holt's house block from Quiltmakers 100 blocks vol 8 and make it our own.

Of course I used my new fabric range Baskets in Bloom by Red Rooster Fabrics…

Here is my block….

QM house block

I added buttons to the roof and embroidery to the house….flowers, stars and hearts.

I am so thrilled to be a part of it……

I haven't got my magazine yet…..but will show you when it arrives…

You can follow the Parade here to see all the houses 

and also follow the blog hop….

And there are prizes to be won also……you might win my block!!

I hope you enjoy following the Parade and seeing all the different homes!

back soon!

Cheers

Gail
