Wonderful!! I'm sure you made three children very happy. You've certainly put a lot of work into both projects.

Latrinka 07-17-2012 06:28 AM

Precious quilt, and the playhouse is just too precious!

BuzzinBumble 07-17-2012 06:31 AM

You are so talented! Wonderful work on both projects! Those adorable children clearly love the little house you made for them :thumbup:

The problems you had with the felt, would you use regular cotton materials another time?
And then quilt it for substance?

I'm not sure...the felt of course needs no hemming and its pretty easy to invisibly hand applique because the material is so thick...regular fabric would need hemming or lining and that could end up being a bigger PITA than the felt. William (who got the dino quilt and lives next door) will be getting a playhouse later this summer, we haven't decided what theme for him. His Mom doesn't sew so I said I will help her, and we saw some cute camping tent playhouses on someones website so we might do a cammo fabric for that one.

What a wonderful quilt.... and yes, I LOVE the card table house. Very creative.

Such clever ideas you have. They sure look to be enjoying it. WOOF

The quilt is so cute and the play house is a work of art. The kid's are so lucky. What a great idea. I also love the pic of your three doggies.

Nexxus831 07-17-2012 11:47 AM

They are absolutely beautiful.

northern lass 07-17-2012 11:52 AM

fabulous work.

Jannie 07-17-2012 12:32 PM

I can see all the work in the playhouse. No wonder it took 10 days instead of 3.

maxnme01 07-17-2012 12:37 PM

Clever, clever. I wish my mind could go where the minds of so many go. Sigh....

Rose_P 07-17-2012 12:47 PM

That's the cutest card table playhouse I've ever seen! I made one much less elaborate than that, and I'm sure it took me longer. You have done beautiful work for these kids, and I'll bet they'll be telling their kids about it one day.

I also love the dino quilt, and especially the idea of enlarging the motifs from the fabric to create your applique designs. It's great, and very inspiring. Thanks for showing these!

margie77072 07-17-2012 01:17 PM

How very cool!. The dinos are adorable, but that table playhouse was inspired!

siss 07-17-2012 02:12 PM

OMG that is the most wonderful playhouse i have ever seen. my grandson would love it. he is only 2 so think i will wait a year or two to make him one. oh, maybe it's grandma that loves it.
you have a wonderful imagination and talent.

stichinluvr 07-17-2012 02:49 PM

Those are both awesome. The playhouse makes me wish I were a little girl so I could play in it!

rosiewell 07-17-2012 02:53 PM

you are so clever, the quilt is beautiful but the playhouse is great, I love it inside and outside, very creative!

Thank you. My little black and white man died in March, and I just can't bring myself to change it.

carolynjo 07-17-2012 06:18 PM

What a wonderful gift! You are generating memories that will last a lifetime.

mtspools 07-17-2012 06:40 PM

Love it all-- the little house is great !!!

You should do a internet search for card table playhouses...I have seen some really cute designs. I have seen a pet store, a garage, a tent, an ice cream shop. As tired as I am of that stinkin thing (you should see the aftermath in my sewing room, lol) I am excited to do a garage or adventurers tent for William. Next month, lol!

PhotoKevin 07-18-2012 03:47 PM

Those are awesome! Kudos!

KayS 07-19-2012 03:57 PM

The quilt is very cute and well done, but the playhouse is "over the top" I foresee many hours of fun there

Grandma Peg 07-19-2012 04:46 PM

Your quilt is so cute and love the playhouse.

delideb64 07-19-2012 04:51 PM

They both are great, the playhouse makes me wish I was a kid again so I could play inside :)

muffins 07-19-2012 05:34 PM

How precious, lots of love was put in that work.
God bless

hperttula123 07-19-2012 07:01 PM

oh goodness...the card table is so neat. My kids have seen them on the internet, but nothing like this one. I love all the detail you put in it. The quilt is great.

ScrapQuilter 07-19-2012 07:25 PM

That's so cute bet the kids love it.

captlynhall 07-20-2012 06:31 PM

I have never seen anything so creative and adorable. I remember playing under tables with quilts on top to close it in when I was a little girl. I had only my imagination to make it fun, but what great ideas you have for this. I want to copy this, so I hope you consider it absolute flattery. My grand kids are too old for a play house like this, but I'm going to start early for my great grand kids. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

nls 07-20-2012 06:43 PM

Both very cute!!

Hey, I copied it from someone else, so its ok with me. It was really fun to make, even if it turned out to be a much bigger project than I intended.

My boss and I are going to barter, she wants one for her grandkids, and she keeps bees, so I am trading her one for a bunch of local blackberry honey. I plan to give it away as Christmas presents, so its a worth trade for me.

Jammin' Jane 10-12-2012 12:41 PM

W)W! What awesome projects! Nice job! :)

Central Ohio Quilter 10-12-2012 12:50 PM

I just LOVE the card table house! I will have to think about making one for my granddaughter for Christmas!

wanttobe 10-12-2012 03:32 PM

They are are both great. I love the playhouse so unique
