Glutton for punishment that I am, I decided to continue with the Schnibbles group hosted by Sherri and Sinta again this year. I really enjoyed the projects last year- great for techniques and just playing around with colour and placement. I am ready with a nice supply of baby quilts for gifts when necessary! But I am going to make mine into cushions this year...everyone will get cushions this year for gifts....be warned!
As Schnibbles are nigh on impossible to obtain locally I have to order from OS...which made it quite hairy getting it here in time...just! So here is Full House....cushion sized and looking like summery Australian beach huts...fabric to match the ottoman for DS. I will pipe it in the red of the doors I think.
Now back to the housing...I am just waiting on the call to let me know the contracts have been exchanged for a home we have purchased...exciting times...we will be moving but not for about six months as it needs a major renovation. It could be described as a "unique, fixer-upper opportunity"! It may be madness, but it will be a pretty home when finished...just needs a whole lot of love really. I am excited, will be walking distance to my Mum's, shops, cafes and friends...even walking distance to a good patchwork shop! Perfect.
Let the madness begin!

How exciting Alison..being that close to everything and family will be great..
Your little houses remind of the beach houses in Brighton Melb, now they cost as much as a big house if not more.

Oh fun...I love renovating (well organising others to actually do the work!!) You will be a busy bee....love the cushion top....
The Beach Houses are gorgeous! I love everything about your pillow... all except for the part about it being yours and not mine! :)
Good luck with the house, move, rennovations, etc., and here's hoping that it all turns out as beautifully as your pillow.
