To those of you that recognize your house you may notice that a few of them have some extra things added to them. I certainly hope that no one minds that I did this but I just love bling and felt a few needed something.
I hope that I get enough houses to fill the previous wall and this one that is perpendicular to the first. The last owners left this tacky painting of a lighthouse that I just hate but I hate bare walls even more.
Some of you may remember the shade I did made out of out slides. Here it is in it's final corner of the living room all lit up. I think it looks like it belongs there and has been there for years.
The other project I am working on is some coasters and placemats for the kitchen. Here you can see 4 of the placemats almost finished and 5 coasters completed. (There was 6 but one mysteriously disappeared that afternoon.)
Here's a close-up of the finished placemat and a few coasters. I may redo the quilting on the placemat. I am not happy with the way the quilting distorted the seam lines even though I used an even feed foot on my machine.

Valerie this is such a great idea! Have you sent out all your houses? If you have any left or are in need of more I'd be happy to do one for you. Send me a PM kcbis@shaw.ca
Your suspected coaster thief looks perfectly innocent to me!!!
The houses look amazing together, your project is such a wonderful idea and love how each piece is unique and as a whole look fabulous x
I hope my house arrives safely,it has been posted and you have a stack coming from keys4art,I am happy to do as many as you like why not post a template and we can cut our own,it would sure save time!I can send a painting if you want one?I will get started now(I know just what I want to do for you),not too abstract.I will do it on paper and you can just screw it between 2 bits of perspex to frame it!
I would love to make a house for you. Send me the details and I'll get to work on it. You love bling, I can do a little bling. Then, if you want to add to it go wild!
