The People’s Choice theme for July is Houses<\/a>! This is perfect for me because this month I picked up a little piece that has not one, not two, but 10 houses on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have almost all the houses built. I couldn\u2019t do the shadow side of the houses yet because I don\u2019t like the floss color provided. It is a variegated beige-gray-green but my skein has way too much green. If I were to fussy stitch it I\u2019d only be able to use 6\u201d at a time. Nope, not doing that! So I started the alphabet and border. Once my replacement floss gets here it will be quick to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I don’t usually love stitching houses. The house has to be a pretty special house or else part of a larger design that I just love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, I loved this little blue house pin cushion from Abby Rose Designs. I think it was called Home Sweet Home. There is just something about the colors that grabbed me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And The Drawn Thread often puts little house motifs in her samplers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I have a lot of charts with similar little incidental houses. And some where the houses are more prominent. But I do want to share one of my very favorites which is in my shortlisted stitch pile: Jane Plenderleath from NeedleWorkPress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There is just something about this brick house with the checkered roof which I find so attractive, and I also love the bigger design. The borders and bands are lovely. If I had the chart when I made my Bucket List this would have been on it. As it is, I will probably aim to do it next year! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
