That's my kind of day :) I worked on another canal house today - here are all the ones I've done to date together - there are 3 more to go (and the latest three do still need to be sewn down) and then I'm finished. I've enjoyed this project, and look forward to seeing what I will get in return in the fullness of time.
Here's a closer view of the house I worked on today - it's quite a wide one and completes the bridge in the centre of the piece. By the time I finish this set of houses, I won't have any blue hand-dyes left in my stash.
Also today, I worked on my Stay-at-home Robin - first added Round 4 to the black and batik piece - though I'm not convinced that it wouldn't look better on the right hand side of the other blocks - I am going to try unsewing it and stitching it back on the right and see if I like it better.
I also decided, finally, to go ahead and make a second piece for the Stay-at-home Robin - I had been toying with it since the beginning, but hadn't quite got around to it yet. Finally today I decided to go ahead. This one is something quite different, using Japanese taupes - we'll see how it goes.

I love your canal houses!
Ditto! I love them too!
Houses! Houses! I am so happy to see how someone else is doing them. I am loving the process, even if it has been a lot of work.
And I just added your blog to my favorites. Why didn't I do this earlier??
Your canal houses are super...I've really enjoyed seeing the progression of that project.
Those canal houses are so wonderful! How can you bear to give them up?
These canal houses look so good put together like that.
