Whoville!

Yahoo-Dor-ay!

My Whoville quilt didn't make it for Christmas, but it did get finished yesterday.

The Village Tree:

This would be my house; the cake (eating) queen.

I love this little pink one too

The binding posed a problem. I used all the "evening snow" fabric that I had. I auditioned many things, but settled on this colored polk-a-dot of about the same size.

I used left over polk-a-dots on the back from exchange my Wednesday group did years ago.


This lovely little quilt was a Christmas present from my best friend, Mary, my original, Illinois Mary B :)

These hand dyed fabrics are beautiful and luminous! Hand quilting? I'm not worthy!

The back - nice fabric!

Thanks Mary - I love it~

    The house quilt turned out really cheery and wonderful!!!You can't help but smile at all the polka dots.
    What a lovely gift from mary. I like that the center row is quilted differently then the two sides. I wish I could think of things like that. :)

    Great little, liberated houses. The Grinch was always a favorite of mine, so I really like the name you gave your new treasure.
    Your quilted gift is great; I especially like the off-center label!

    I started to say, "I like this" and "I like that" about your Whoville quilt, but the thing is, I just love everything about it!

    Whoville looks just like youville! It is absolutely charming. Those selvages look just like Christmas lights and trims.
