This another english paper piecing project I am working on, it was actually inspired by another blogger Jeanneke from The Netherlands, link is here. Those houses were much smaller than these are and are foundation pieced I believe rather than english paper pieced. My sister Inge and I came across this blog one very late night when she was visiting with me and we thought what a fantastic project for our quilting group to do. So we bought the pattern from Jeanneke and tweaked it to the size we thought manageable for EPP and started to sew. On our next quilting weekend we put it to the girls as an idea for a fundraising project and they all agreed to take on the challenge. So the aim is for each of us ten ladies to make 12 houses, one a month was seen as achievable and then sew it all together and make a divine quilt to raffle to raise money for our Day Oncology Unit where three of us work as chemo nurses.
So i started and I literally can't stop. I completed my 12 in a very short period and have now sewn 55 more to date, with five more to sew to complete my own wall hanging for my sewing room. For some in the group it has been a challenge, some have pooled their strengths and are working on it together and others have also become addicted which I do so love! Inge, my dear sister is just as obsessed as myself and she too is making her own.
So I will post the completed project when its done and keep you updated.
