Day 13 and 14, two views of a log cabin

Day 14

Day 15
Day 14, Inktense blocks and then quilted with a little applique house.
Day 15. Ok, this is a cheat but a very creative one. It's the same house but viewed for above. At last I'm getting the hang of doing these quickly!

Here is day 14 before quilting. Not a lot of planning went into this. Just quick scribbles.


Day 11, 12 and 13

I've decided that I'm going to make mini-series to speed up the process. These were all made with the same stencil.

Day 12

Day 13
My stencil was a die-cut greeting card. Day 11 was made with glue and foil paper. Day 12 was made with an oil pastel. And then on day 13 I decided to go back to the glue idea since I liked that one and use gold leaf instead. My leaf is all different colours which looks like an explosion of fireworks, don't you think?

Playing catch up - Day 6, 7, 8 ,9 and 10

Day 6 Birdcage
 This day was a cheat. I thought using a commercial fabric and a very loose interpretation of "house" would give me an easy day. All I had to do was embroider the birdcage! It still took me ages.
Day 7 - Farmyard
 Another cheat. I stuck to machine embroidery this time and it was quicker.
Day 8 - Tiny house
 Tiny house because there's not mushroom inside. Haha. This was a rubbing of a drawing I made on cardboard using hot glue. Imagine a whole village of them!
Day 9 - Foamy house
 This is made by stitching thin foam sheets on to the quilt. I had to handcrank most of it!
Day 10 - Tea bag house
At last, a nice simple house. Took a couple of tea bags and did rubbings of wax crayon on floral net and sequin waste and stitched to the background.
