    Default Home Is Where the Heart Is
    I've always wanted to make a house quilt. I saw an advertisement for a home improvement website that had houses arranged into a heart shape. That gave me the idea to design this quilt with freezer-paper piecing houses. I've noticed that quilt show winners always quilt the snot out of their quilts. I thought I would try doing that on this quilt as well as some trapunto. There's no snot left...

    I started piecing it on my Bernina 1630 until it broke. I continued piecing on my Featherweight. (I'm so glad I had that as a backup!) It was quilted on a sitdown HQ16.

    I submitted this quilt entry into the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza yesterday. Fingers crossed that it gets juried in.

    Wow, that's gorgeous. I love how you quilted the houses into the background. So unique.

    I'm usually a less is more person when it comes to quilting, but I make an exception in this case: absolutely gorgeous.

    Beautiful quilt and the quilting is wonderful. Good luck--if it doesn't get in, there is something wrong with the judges vision.!!!!lol
