Thank you for your support and ideas for our Handmade Christmas 2009 collection. I'm going to post an update on Monday for the latest ideas being submitted. This is fun. Grab the button on the side bar for your blog and send me some ideas for great gifts/ornaments to begin making together in the fall.
On to the fabric:
These sweet fat quarters in the front of the photo were some I won at family bingo on Christmas Eve. Lovely prints I didn't have and wanted. The vintage feed sacks in the back are from Natalie and her boyfriend Justin. I love them. I've already used a chunk of each of them. I've got a sweet little project going that uses the postmarks.
These beautiful prints were a gift from Eileen. Eileen's has some really great vintage fabric It is her birthday Monday and she's having a little fabric celebration at her blog, Eileen's Attic, this weekend. You can see I've already cut into 2 of the fabrics. I couldn't resist. I love all of them. Thank you so much Eileen.
Yes, I'm still making houses. I have a dozen more of these that I need to quilt this weekend with Insul-Brite to make more (yes more) potholders. You can see some of Eileen's fabric included in the rooftops.
When I was laying out the house blocks to admire the fabric I couldn't help but thinking these would make a cute quilt too. I guess I just can't get enough of the house thing.-Happy Weekend everyone.

I love the new look! And I love the new houses too!
Love your new look. I just did mine too. It still needs a thing or 2. Yes, those darling houses would make a great quilt.
I have another idea: you know the little trees I made just before Christmas? There is a like for the pattern. They would be so cute to make for Christmas gifts.
Pretty new banner ... love the beehive! It is fun to see it up in lights. -- Michele

The houses are so fun! And a great use of new fabrics :) Have a great weekend!
Oh yes the new 'look' is just lovely! I'd say charming would be a good word to describe it! And your houses....love them! I just have a thing for houses, and would love to make a quilt with all different shapes and sizes of them. As usual, you're a great inspiration!
Love the new fabric! And of course the house pot holders! Love them too.

Wow! This is a fabulous new look.. I LOVE it. Very very bright and fresh.. anyone visiting will surely come back again and again.
Hey.. those fabrics look great in your pot holder houses! I am so glad you liked them. But I knew you would.. cause I like them.
:-D Thanks for the plug to my giveaway.. lots of lovely folks are coming from here.
I have a feeling I would melt over Natalie's collection.
Wonderful vintage fabrics, I just love them!! But I have to say that I love your new "High Rises" they are slightly taller than your previous cottages. Terrific design.
Does your creativity never end? You are simply amazing! Love, Tricia
The blog looks loverly! (Not a typo, lol.)
Beautiful blog layout! I have at least one more house quilt on my list for this year too.
I love your new look Nanette! And if this first fabulous fabric friday is any indication, we're in for a great 2009! Happy New Year!
I am glad you mentioned you had a new look. I read the RSS feed so there is no 'layout' to look at, thanks for saying something so I could admire the new look - LOVE IT!!! The fabrics are great too. Wow a family bingo, i like that idea! The houses are too adorable! Thank you for sharing the latest!
*hugs*

The new look is a wonderful way to start the new year, isn't it? It is very bright and happy and looking at it makes me smile.
Love the fabric, as always, and your houses are the cutest things! I have always loved the way you put fabrics together - such fun.
Beautiful banner. Love all your fabric, as usual. Mimi
Your new look is fresh and bright I love it. The fabrics you got for Christmas are lovely. And the houses are sweet. Who can blame you for making houses they are great.
I love the facelift and the houses are what I come for so inspirational here...xoxox Jennifer
Love, love, love the new look of your blog ... I actually had to look twice to make sure I was at the right place...
Those little houses are too cute!!!
Great new background and banner! And I love your little houses and all your lovely fabric :)
Yes, those new houses would make a great quilt.
You won fabric at a family bingo? What a wonderful family you must have! LOL Love them all!
I'm off to read about your ornament project!
Smiles,
Lea
Ok I ordered my isulbrite from Sew Thankful- I'll be ready in a few days for the tutorial :)
Hi Nanette, I love your new look. So cute and cheerful! The houses are looking so charming as always.
Handmade Christmas is a wonderful idea. I would love to make some ornaments and presents. Thanks so much for doing it.
Wish you and your family lots of lovely, happy times in the New Year :c)
GREAT new look, Nanette! For some reason I'm not getting your new posts until a day or two later - sorry I didn't comment sooner! Oh, and that Terri - she is such a clever gal! All those fabrics are darling - and the houses - yes, addicting I'd say!
Cheers!
I have still got to make some of those houses. They are so darn cute. I love all of them I've seen everywhere.
Love the new face lift;) And your handmade idea is super;) I was at Joanne's (Orem) last night and saw a blot of the hotpad batting...it was behind the cutting table.
Your blog looks great Nanette! I agree, she did a fabulous job! There's nothing cheerier than yellow gingham for sure!
Nanette, I love your little houses esp. the arched doors. I really like that fabric you won at the bingo game. You didn't even take a break after Christmas, just right
back to it-what a quilter! Nerm
Happy New Year, Happy New Header...beeery pretty and colourful Nanette!! beeeutiful!!!
