I finally finished
My Little Town paper pieced top, and I am so proud and thrilled that I did!! It now measures 12"x12".If you look at the border, the little corner trees were extra tiny....I was so happy that I could even see them. LOL I will be putting the layers together and machine quilting it over the next day or two and will post the pic. It was quite a challenge, and I have already picked another miniature to do. As you can see, there were lots of points that had to match, besides all the very tiny pieces in each block. Even so they are such fun, and Carol Doak does have such cute miniature patterns in her book. While on the subject of Carol, I just saw her on The Quilt Show, and she was great. She is coming to Ireland for a grand tour of our beautiful country in October of this year, and I hope to meet her.
Also, I received some lovely postcards in the mail from
Gene, who is a talented quilter and artist, as you saw when you met him as my Star
of the Month. What a lovely surprise and thank you Gene! I sent him a surprise too, but mum is the word.
I just came back from a lovely walk with Joe, and we are ready for a quiet evening.

It looks fabulous. I am definitely impressed that you manages to get that tiny in the corners.
Oh Micki Sweetie...
You did a GREAT job. I love the colors and the trees are so beautiful at the corners, and they show up very well. I love all the little houses. This looks to be very tedious work my friend. You do such beautiful work. You must have a lot of patience.
I can't wait to see what you are up to with your give away. I love surprises.
I pray you have a beautiful evening sweetie. Thanks for sharing your mini quilt today. How very beautiful it is.
Country hugs sweetie and much love...Sherry
I am thoroughly impressed, Micki! This is so pretty.
Micki - this is just awesome! So many points......it looks terrific....love the colors! Very nicely done.....piece.
Those blocks are amazing. I am imagining that whole quilt fitting into such a tiny space and I am amazed. Good luck with the quilting.
It's just adorable Micki, honestly, I think I'd have to wear TWO pairs of glasses to see that size now. LOL!

Hi Micki! LOVE how your quilt top looks!.. BEAUTIFUL pattern, and colors! I'm off to make dinner, but I'm looking forward to a quiet evening too! Last night didn't feel so peaceful, as we were watching the tv show "24". All I'm doing is sitting on the edge of my seat, when I'm watching THAT show! Maybe I better stick to PBS tonight! (0; I hope you're enjoying your evening, and see you again soon! ~tina
Micki, I love that Tiny Town and I think you are just so clever.
Great mini...teeny village! Adorable!!
Gorgeous town quilt. I love the houses. Such bright colours, I love it - Hugs Nat
love your little town
Oh my goodness, all those teensy tiny pieces -- congratulations! I love mini-quilts, but have not been brave enough to paper piece one this small with so many pieces!
WOW - your little tow is just amazing. I have no idea how you managed to sew it, I lose larger bits in mr machine, so he would surly gobble up all those teeny tiny houses. It is just beautiful Micki, you must be really proud of it.

I love your Little Town. I can't imagine that it is only 12 x 12. You have a lot of patience. Beautiful!
Your miniture town is so cute. Thanks for commenting on my blog. Now we can compare notes and continue together on our miniture quilting journey.
Take care and hugs.
it turned out wonderful and I love those tiny little trees...they must've been a whole lot of work.......you would think something smaller would be easier, but that isnt always the case...this is going to be my second year in the "one world, one heart......it is pretty fun!
It is fun to catch up with you Micki and see your projects and things you have been involved with. Fun fun.
