Quilted fairy cottage

I took a break from piecing a quilt top that didn't speak to me and made something out of the norm- a fairy cottage. This was fun but don't think I will make another one too soon LOL

That is so cute! You mentioned that you would not make another one soon. Was it hard or just fiddly? Any construction tips? I have that pattern but am hesitant to start.

Of course it has a use! Right now Dougie the Hamster lives in it. Since the cottage is out in the county, there is no electricity so he carries a little flashlight with him at all times.

LOL, ok, couldn't resist , my bad. It's a decorative soft sculpture.

It was rather fiddly as I am not a sewer by any means despite my grandmother who was a seamstress and taught me how to sew. i was channeling her to help me with this as I had not sewn in over 30 years- Just took up quilting about 9 months ago.

Instead of making the leaves as the pattern stated, I used green felt and pinking shears. For each leaf, I cut two leaves out and stitched together on the outside- no turning inside out. Other than that pattern diversion, I stuck to the instructions. The roof is glued to the house per instructions and for this reason I equate the cottage as a sculpture something that can not be handled a lot. Some would say a dust collector but I liked it and wanted to make something different and practice sewing.

Sorry. Guess you will need to make one for them. Right now my fairies subleased their cottage out to a hamster. Oh my, such drama!

Great job!! and your fabric combination is wonderful! If I had that fabric I would use the exact same combinations. My glass mouse collection would love that home.

This a adorable. I was just searching the web for free applique patterns and found the cutest web site. They have all sorts of fairy accessories: forest scenes, furniture to make etc. Check it out. Sooooooo cute to go with your fairy cottage. More work for you though...................http://weefolkart.com/content/free-patterns-gallery
