I used a couple of charm packs of Grand Finale by Sandy Gervais and some coordinating fabrics for the border, binding, and backing.
I love my little house! My little treasure was machine quilted by Lynda from her shop Fiddlestitches located in Mabou, a scenic 40-minute drive up the road along the coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. She custom quilted this and stitched a few perfectly spaced flowers to make my quilt even more fun! Thank you, Lynda, it's perfect! Can you folks see the little flower?
It was a wonderful day at the post office yesterday. Just look what I received...my very first quilted postcard sent to me by my friend and fellow blogger Sheila from Sheila's Quilt World. Sheila lives a little more than an hour away and we've met on a couple of occasions in "real life".
It is a fabulous piece of art and I feel soooo special to be on the receiving end. Thank you, Sheila, it is precious. It intrigues me that our post offices will mail these little babies. Have a look...it even has a stamp on it!
Registration for Think Christmas blog hop from July 30-August 3 is now closed. We've received over 50 registrations so everyone around the globe is already in Christmas spirit!
I'll be putting together the schedule and will send it out in a few days. Do you have your thinking, I mean, Santa cap on?
And our creator of super blog hops Madame Samm continues to come up with ideas! Just this morning she posted a new blog hop...Bowls With Borders. How cute is this button? Have a peek at her bowl project...so cool!
To sign up for Bowls with Borders,visit Carol at Just Let Me Quilt.
So that's it for today. Off to sit in my quilting chair, sip my coffee, and watch a chick flick. Life is good, and it's a great day for quilting!
Have fun with your company!

Enjoy your 'full house'...I luv your Schnibbles quilt and just bought the pattern on Monday. I had a full house...7 family and friends Father's Day weekend....3 days of fun. Again for the first weekend in July we are having 6 house guests....3 more days of fun. I really wanted to do the Christmas Blog Hop but I just couldn't make the commitment. I'm thinking I may try to squeeze in the Bowl Blog Hop. Have a Wonderful Wednesday!!

ReplyDeleteI just loved this Schnibbles pattern and yours is just fantastic. R/W/B, Santa around the bend and now on to the Bowls - doesn't slow down or get boring.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that schnibbles quilt. Love it. And I do see the flower quilted in the design. I have been tempted to make a quilted postcard but never really believed they would go through the mail without a problem. But now I'm a believer. Love your little card.
ReplyDeleteFull House is my favorite Schnibbles! I love your fall village!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a lot of fun ahead of you with family coming to stay. We are just home from a month with our family in Philadelphia and I know we had a great time! Hope you do, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see your Full House quilt finished. It looks so warm and inviting!
I love your "Full House" quilt. Aren't houses fun to make?!?! -Looking forward to the Think Christmas Blog Hop.
ReplyDeleteI love your Full House quilt too and the postcard from Sheila is awesome! I would be afraid to put something like that in the mail thinking that someone along the way would want it for their own.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting that your family is coming home for a visit. Looks like some busy and fun times are in the forecast!
Beautiful quilt Lesley, I just love that pattern.......it's on my to do list!
