House on the Hill

This little "house on the hill" has been on my list of squares to stitch for a while now :)


It reminds me of the first house my husband and I bought together...a little white house high on a hill, overlooking the countryside with a big fig tree out the front. I would've liked to add a few extra details...like the swing that hung from the tree, or some bats like the ones that used to eat the figs during the night...but we are talking about a one inch square here :)



Thank you for all your lovely comments about my stitching so far....reading them is a highlight of my day :)

A little white house with a fig tree - sounds like an idyllic start:) Did you make lots of fig jam?

I'm really enjoying watching your sampler grow. It's such a neat idea! I think the cupcake is my new favorite square. :)

aah that is lovely how this square reminds you of fond memories. I was wondering how everyone came up with ideas for so many squares.
