This is the first in a series of 6 houses inspired by the shotgun houses found throughout New Orleans. Stitch each house separately or all together as.

We stitched them on 32ct "Pioneer Trail" linen from Mountain Aire using threads from DMC, Weeks Dye Works, and Classic Colorworks. Stitch count is 77 x 65.

What is a Garconniere? The word "Garcon" means boy in French. It was the custom on the larger houses to have a separate house for boys once they reached their teens so that they could have their fun without momma watching.
