I made this applique wall hanging in early 2005 and call it 'My house'. This hanging is based on the pattern by Joan's Own creations ' Step by Step' Applique series 137.It was fun making this wall hanging, again all by hand, as I used the basic pattern but changed a few of the decorations using photos and pictures of my own and adding things such as ceramic flower pots and mirrors to give it more of a three dimensional feel.
At the front door there is a photo of my dog Charlie there to welcome everyone into my house.On the second floor just above the sewing machine I have some photos of my great nieces, Sarah & Hannah and my great nephew Jacob.
On the wall leading up the staircase are some family photos. The big photo is of my grandfather and grandmother on their wedding day. There are also
photos of my mother as a baby and as a little girl along with photos of myself as a baby and family photos of my brothers and sisters when we were little.The next floor has a photo of Charlie when he was a few months old. He used to curl up and sleep in the basket where I kept my knee rugs in the lounge room. On the steps is a photo of my cat Henry who now lives with another lady who spoils and looks after him really well.
On the wall I made a little quil
t using a photo of the 'Happiness Is' quilt which I was making at the time. Hanging on the wall beside the quilt is a photo of a place called 'Shere'. I took this photo when 
I travelled to England in 1990.
If you click on any of the photos you will be able to see them more clearly.
