Design Wall Wee Village
Back in January of 2003, when we were living at the farm in Texas, I found an online BOM called "Wee Village." Anyone else familiar with it? Here's the premise: back in the deep woods, under the bushes and behind shadows, is a little village populated by wee people. Every month, a new block was published. And there was even a Yahoo Group for following the progress. It grew and grew, and "extra" blocks were created, until there were probably 20 or so blocks by the end of the year, plus an intricate border. ( I found a link from the original website here: http://www.future-heirlooms.com/wv_gallery/weehouse-index.html)
Since were were packing up and moving during the year, I didn't keep up with the group, I just managed to print out many the patterns, stitched a few, and put the whole mess into a bag. That bag ended up in the deep dark recesses of my UFO closet. I pulled out the (mostly) completed blocks and stuck them on the design wall this week.
I'm no longer enamored of the Wee Village, but it will be a cute quilt when I've put it together. It won't be as complex as originally planned, and I won't make any more blocks, nor make the intricate border. But I'll try and get this baby done! Whoop Whoop!!

How cute this is! It will be fun to get this one finished, I'm sure!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on exhuming the UFO. It is a charming design....and you'll feel so good when you've finished it!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! It looks like you put a lot of work into this one. Good luck getting it off your UFO list.
ReplyDeleteI think it's adorable! But I know what you mean when you fall out of love with a project and just want to move on.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute and fun!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that! And thank you for the link!
ReplyDeleteThat is so-o-o cute! I hope you will finish it!
ReplyDeleteI love it! That's going to be a very cute quilt! I tried the link, but it didn't work. Can you figure out what's wrong?
ReplyDeleteSomeone will certainly love this quilt when you finish it -- those blocks definitely don't need to be languishing in a bag anymore. Good luck with finishing it -- can't wait to see it complete!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you were excited when you first started this. And it is going to be a really cute quilt that I'll bed a child would love. Great wallhanging to look at.
