Eternal Maker October- Little House Playmat

For October's visit to Eternal Maker, I have been looking forward to posting about their Little House Playmat project which is a week by week project in 5 instalments.
 I love all things 'house themed and I love this!   It is measures around 60 x 80cm  closed and would make a wonderful gift, a little different from a baby quilt!
 All the materials are listed in the project posts on the Eternal Maker blog, including the amazing Kokka house panel fabric which forms the inside:
They also list the other fabrics e.g. brick style for the front and interfacing/waddings that they stock to make the playmat but as ever there is room for creativity and some other prints and fabrics.  Here are a few ideas.
Wood effect fabric- for a nordic style house,   Michael Miller faux bois in grey
Clouds by Cosmo, a canvas cotton fabric
A drying room?  One of my favourite Heather Ross prints, Clothes line by Kokka
A toy room with house within houses, Cosmo Panda stripe
Friends to play and dressing up, Ann Kelle's Kids Adventure for Kaufman
And wall decor, Echino Frames
Tempting isn't it?  And Christmas making time is upon us!  Keep an eye on Eternal Maker blog for the next instalment.

  3. This is the cutest thing I've seen since I bought some Hello Kitty fabric by Kokka past weekend! I've got to find some here in the US!
