"Re-Home" is 10 1/2" x 27".
This is my 2016 word. It means I need to clean out my house and re-home a bunch of my stuff.
After living in the same house for 32 years and having 4 kids grow up here, we have too much stuff left behind. Time to move it out!!!
This was fun to piece and I started with a huge rectangle of "snow fabric" under the R to represent the Blizzard of 2016 storm named "Jonas" that dumped about 26" on us.
See the words "100% Happy"?
And a palm tree, of course!
The O block was found in my scrap bin so it is now re-homed!
I always add people to my fun quilts. The Whos are merrily singing.
I machine quilted this mini from the back side following the fabric pattern.
My sewing machine sits in front of the window so I can watch weather and critters.
Now this quilt has found a home over my sewing window.
(Excuse the chandelier. My sewing studio used to be a dining room...years ago!!)
Who needs a dining room anyway?
Our road has been plowed. Would anyone like to help shovel the driveway?
This could take weeks...but the weather is going to warm up and melt a bunch of it...
Eventually...
Linking to Finish it Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts.
I love seeing all the 'people' and 'things' amongst your scrappy bits of fabric. And what a good idea to use the diamonds on the back as a quilting guide. I'm going to put aside anything I can use that might make a funky wall hanging - will take me a while as I don't have a lot to choose from :p
ReplyDeleteI agree, it was a great idea to use the backing to guide your quilting. I think I might just steal that one! Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteA great piece- lovely quilting :)
ReplyDeleteLovely idea! I move every two years or so, and re-home stuff every 6 months ��. I should really do a 2016 word, I've seen the idea around and love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt, gorgeous and colourful, and love the '100% happy' use! And sounds like an excellent word for 2016, I could do with getting a large amount of rehoming done around here too.
