I love Acey’s prompts, so I was sure I’d love to do this one …

But the yardwork, which I love, pulled me outside instead. Ah well.

Even though I didn’t follow through, I decided to hold the thought for another day. So here’s the image from Acey’s other blog …

that seemed a good one to stitch …

Jude has been posting a series of house cloths of late that she is calling Just Home.

Inspired as always, I sketched a note to self, thinking I might try paper piecing a patch…

but as I sketched, adding lines to each side of the iconic square-and-triangle house in the middle, the house grew first one side and then another. Totally improbable, of course, but I fancied myself Escher-ish and went with it.

And the paper piecing? Quickly abandoned as I realized ten pieces within a 1 3/4 inch patch was a bit much.

So I dug out a thrift store linen dress with a weave that looks like graph paper and transferred the sketch, which was stitched with Deb’s threads (what else?)
