A detail from my St. Ives art quilt for Festival of Quilts 2010 featuring the cobbles and cottages of St. Ives that I love so much. I used reverse applique for the cobbles
reverse applique ... instead of applique on the surface of the fabric, reverse applique is where I layered a variety of fabrics then added my dyed silk layer on top. I machine stitched through all the layers, then cut through the silk top layer to reveal the fabrics underneath. Usually the edges would be overstitched with a satin or zig zag stitch, but I wanted a raw edge

A Backstugusittare ("hill cottage sitter") is a historical term of a certain category of the country side population in the history of Sweden. It referred to the inhabitants of a backstuga (hill cottage), who lived on common land or the land of someone else and did not engage in any farming.
In contrast to the somewhat similar torpare, backstugusittare did not use any land and lived on the charity of the landowner or, if they lived on common land, on the charity of the village. They may grow some potatoes for their own use and have some smaller animals but normally only enough to eat themselves. That category of people were normally among the very poorest of the village community and supported themselves on odd jobs, some handicrafts and charity.
The phenomenon is confirmed from the early 17th-century. After the land reform of 1827, during which the farmers moved out from the villages and occupied land previously left for the torpare, the category grew larger, as the torpare were often given no other choice than to become backstugusittare. However, during the 19th-century, it also became more common for successful village craftsmen to live temporarily in the backstuga merely to save money, which somewhat raised the status of backstugusittare.
Not only red cottages in Sweden and here grass on the roof. To Alan who likes our roofs. :)

Nab Cottage, a B&B in Cumbria, was first built in 1565 and extended in 1702. It overlooks the lovely Rydal Water, one of the smallest lakes in the Lake District, very popular with Wordsworth when he was wandering around a bit !

Blundell's Cottage is a six-roomed stone cottage located on the northern shore of Lake Burley Griffin, in Canberra, Australia. When it was built (about 1860) this was the Molonglo River floodplain.
A number of families lived in the Cottage over the hundred years it was occupied. The first occupant, William Ginn, was a ploughman for the Campbells. The second, George Blundell, was a bullock driver for the estate. The third, Harry Oldfield, worked from the Cottage as a shepherd. His wife Alice ran the Cottage as a boarding house after his death.
The Cottage is now a remnant of the National Capital's rural past almost in the heart of the city.

I am always drawn to this row of C19th dock workers' cottages when I do a walk/cycle around the docks. I love the simple blue and white paintwork but there is always some red around to make them pop. They must be rich in maritime history. Today they are the home of the Sea Cadets in Bristol. Rising above them are the very grand terraces of Clifton.

Further stories from our trip to Hawkshead and this scene is set in the centre of the village. Privately owned cottages, but they just call you to be photographed. I was tempted to sit awhile and watch the world go by and the residents did say, 'come, take a seat' but we graciously declined as I'm sure others would treat the benches as 'public' benches if we were seen sat on them, and we didn't want to attract that for them.

We came across these delightful thatched cottages whilst on a circular walk around the Salcombe Estuary and Bolt Head.
The Gothic Cottage at Stourhead is a big draw for visitors and it took me absolutely ages to get this shot.
We'd set up our cameras and waited for a moment when there would be no people in shot, but it seemed that as one group of people moved on, another would turn up and just stand around dawdling and not doing anything.
I was getting a bit annoyed and decided to give up trying to get the photo I wanted, so turned off my camera and got talking to a lovely couple who were sat on the bench behind me. But as I was talking to them, the gods must have been shining down on me as there was a lull of people for just a few minutes, so I quickly set my camera up again and got the shot I wanted.
I don't mean to go on a mad photographer rant, but if you're out at somewhere like this for the day and you see a couple of guys waiting to take a photo, just stop and ask them if it's ok to walk in front of them, it takes us a second to press the shutter and get a photo, but it'll take you a lot longer to get out of the way. I know it's busy, and you all want to see everything as well but we could have been stood there for hours to get the right moment. It's a good job I have a lot of patience.
Anyway, I hope you like the photo
