Quilt

Gek has been busy too. A hand sewn quilt.....600 over pieces!!! Very pretty it is too.

Funny Fellow

Think I made it a bit big??? Fitting the roof has always been a challenge for me. No matter how carefully I work out the roof panel sizes and how much care I take in cutting them out, IT NEVER FITS PROPERLY!!!! So frustrating.


Anyway, after several hours of faffing about, got a result. Well a fit that can be patched.

I also put the missing pieces into the base and when brought together the two halves of the house line up to with in less than 1mm over 900mm. Impressive hey??? Well that is down to the very skillful gentleman at the wood yard who so carefully cut all the plywood pieces for me. He will definitely get contracted to do the cut outs for the next house.....a Black and White, still in the design stage.
