Jelly Bean Houses of St John NFL Art Quilts
 
10 Attachment(s)
Well all the pieces are in and this weekend a couple of the ladies are going to help me mount them as a collage. Their execution was a stretch for some of my group but I think you'll agree they are all delightful. They are all about the same size. Our finished piece will be about 40x40. This will be entered as a group effort in our RCQG Show May 1/2.

These are gorgeous! I love the colors used and the attention to details on the different houses. I can't wait to see it finished!

Those are phenomenal ... the embellishments are so cute - love the door handle and the mailbox and the light ... I could go on and on!

Cute houses on the cliff. Glad they are NOT on the California earthquake fault line. These will never fall into the ocean.

Beautiful. Love em all!

Those are so much fun looking. So different women made different houses?

MaryKatherine - I'm from St. John's and just love your depiction of the Jelly Bean Houses! Once, you mostly saw them in the outports of Newfoundland, now they are emblematic of the capital city, St John's. You can see them everywhere in town. You've captured the whimsical feel of those mainly row houses perfectly. Outstanding!!!

WOW, WOW and WOW

There are lots of pictures on the internet if you google JellyBeanRow. We all chose whatever we wished to do. Lots of tears and laughs but great results.

Wonderful blocks.

Walter'sMom 02-13-2015 08:15 AM

Visited 'The Rock" aka Newfoundland many times and love love love the St. John's jelly bean houses. I have tried to recreate these myself so know the challenge this presented - you have done a superb job at capturing the feel and image of the place. I too look forward to seeing the finished project. You made my day!!
