Spring Sprucing

 

House1

In preparation for having my book club meet at my house in April, I’ve started trying to get things ready. Seeing as how it takes me several times longer to do anything than it should, I have started early. 

So far, I have got the snow man quilt out of the foyer and replaced it with my “Little Pink Houses.” I’m going to skip hanging “Bunnies in the Cabin” this year. Changing out quilts on the hanger requires a step ladder, which might not be a wise thing for me to deal with. So I can leave the house quilt up through the summer if I have to, or get Jesse to change it out for me if I get tired of it.

I have fabric to make curtain panels (half panels just to cover the lower panes) to replace the blinds that were in the living room. I decided on Waverly Norfolk Rose since it goes perfectly with the striped valance. I’m thinking of adding some small white lace or white-on-white print valances at the top of the windows inside the frames. But for now, I have to get the floral panels made.

The rose print coordinates perfectly with the Waverly stripe that my valance is made from.

Those panels will look lovely! I think your pink house quilt might be my favourite! Do you know where I might get the pattern?
Hope Jesse is not to disappointed still. Maybe it was not the right time to do the walk.

Your sweet Little Pink Houses quilt looks wonderful with the charming pretty things you have on the sewing machine beneath it. Hope you'll hand the adorable bunny quilt elsewhere in you home (or have Jesse do it!).

Love the Norfolk Rose fabric and am delighted it goes so well with your striped valance. I think your idea to add a touch of while or off white to the valance is inspired. :)

Hugs!
