I've also really been hankering to create quilted houses, which many other quilters have done. And especially I was inspired by the paintings of my dear artist friend, Joan Gold. The fact that these pieces are far more whimsical than my usual quilted fare honors the fact that I am letting myself loosen up as an artist.
Embedded in each piece, quilted in contrasting thread color, are the words "Home is where the art is." The text is most evident in the bottom quilt on the right. So apropos, since I live in my art studio!

I love the houses. It's fun to be able to rearrange them.
