This is my entry for the Small Wonders Challenge this year. The theme is 'A Patterned Village' and the challenge fabric for this year is the green print. All the rest of the fabric is hand dyed, mostly by me, but at least one of the greens is from a local friend. It measures 25" x 19".
I admit to having to push myself to make this. My first idea for the challenge just wasn't going to be ready in time, and I love it so much that I think I want to keep it, so I made this all in one day yesterday. I started at the bottom, working my way up to the row with the houses. The main bodies of the houses are free pieced, with the roofs and other details added by fusing. I call it 'The Red Door' because I've always wanted a house with a red door. I also like blue doors! Presently I have neither, but I'm happy to create little worlds where I can have any sort of door I please.
If you are so inclined to make a Small Wonder, I have it on good authority that the deadline has been pushed back to May 15. The prizes are pretty awesome, so think about it!
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. We are having our first taste of summer weather and it is just delightful!
