I still need to quilt mine and make it into a pillow, but I have really enjoyed this pattern from Jillily Studio.

Holiday Lane Blog Hop
It is time for the Holiday Lane Blog Hop and I am so excited to be participating. I had this brilliant idea to use wool instead of cotton fabric which I am glad I did, but it has been a little more difficult to work with than I thought it would be.
Once I found all the wool I wanted to use I realized there was no way I was going to be able to piece these houses and that I was going to have to applique them down. Ten minutes into the hand applique I discovered I was going to need to use the machine as it would take forever to finish this.
I soon got carried away with the embellishments and added a snowman as I love snow and what would the holidays be without one? And then there are the Christmas lights. :)
Here is a list of others participating in the Holiday Lane Blog Hop.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stitching!! --Kristen
