A Parade of Homes 2024 - A Year End Review

Put on your work belt and grab your hammer. We are going out to the construction site! Well not really, but it has been a wonderful year for house construction- at least with needle and thread. I completed a grand total of 12 houses. Woo Hoo! I am doing the happy dance! 

 I began the year with a grand log cabin called   The Star Spangled Winter Home. I have always wanted a winter patriotic home, and this one  is perfect to celebrate President's Day with. 

Every year I create a pink house in honor of my Great Aunt Dot. She loved the color pink so The Pink House was just perfect for her. 

In April there were bunnies galore when they took over the newest house called Bunny House Saltbox. Did you notice the bunnies hopping up and over the roof?

The month of June saw 2 houses added to the neighborhood.  Strawberry Manor, included a basket of berries and a patriotic bird. 

The 2nd June house was Lucinda Hawkins Liberty House which was a quaint yellow home flanked with an urn of patriotic flowers. 

Summer

Harvest Home

In late August I shared a wee stitch called Summer Cabin. It was a quick stitch that I made into a quilt using 2 " strips of fabric. 

I started September out with a bang with a little house called An Autumn's Day. I have to admit that I really enjoy stitching this orange brick house. 

The gorgeous crocheted pillow was a gift from dear Barbara. I love it! 

 I greeted October with another fall stitch  called Crows in the Pumpkin Patch which had a sweet saltbox nestled in a pumpkin patch. On guard were 3 cawing crows. 

 November ended with  a small house overran with turkeys. It is called Pickin' in Turkey Holler.

I wrapped up December with a sweet red house  called  And Snow Fell or the Cardinal House. 

Thank you for stopping by to see my year of houses in review. Hopefully 2025 will be just as productive. Do you have any suggestions for homes you would like to see? 

As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
