“My House is a Very Very Fine House” by Sharon Scott

For July’s Focus Through the Prism Challenge I chose the violet Cherrywood fabric and decided to create a quilt that would really showcase the Cherrywood Fabric.  While creating this wavy curve log cabin I reflected upon the meaning of house and home and also thought a lot about my love of architecture.  This fascination with architecture has been influenced by two architects, Sarah Susanka of the Not So Big House ideas and Frank Lloyd Wright both of whom have designs related to organic architecture as a reflection of nature.  So I had my ideas but didn’t have a name yet. Then I heard a song by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young  and that settled it.  My quilt top is called "My House is a Very Very Fine  House". I think the lyrics say it all about wanting a house filled with love and flowers.

I'll light the fire, you put the flowers in the vase that you bought today.
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me.
Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes, everything is good.
Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated by the
Sunshine through them, fiery gems for you, only for you.
Our house is a very, very fine house with two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard,
Now everything is easy cause of you and our la, la, la..

I'll light the fire, you put the flowers in the vase that you bought today.
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me.

  1. The inspiration of the song is really nice. I love the curves and how the block flows. It should bring good chi to your house.
