Description:
Daphne and Susan created Hillside Houses by piecing the background into blocks, sewing the blocks together, and then laying a stained glass grid over the top of it to create the beautiful stained glass window look they were striving for. A little more background from Daphne, she says of the quilt: "Bright houses perched on a hillside are the inspiration for this quilt. You will see these along the coastlines of Italy and Greece and even in Newfoundland. The piece was designed for my book, co-written with Susan Purney Mark, Simple Stained Glass Quilts, Krause Publications, 2008. Our unique "whole cloth" technique makes construction of stained glass quilts easy and less labor-intensive than other methods."
