"Houses" swap, closed, All houses on their way home! 3/26/09

uh..I just noticed all of my windows aren't on the same side. I can just keep those for myself. I like the variety but they are all supposed to look like the ones in the top photo.

Carolyn, I did the same thing to the teacups and teapots! I'm hoping nobody minded! Some would have handles on the left and some on the right! With real houses, some windows are on the left and some on the right. :^)

[sewcarolyn]

Evie you are right....windows are not always on the same side...
I have a teacup that I sent in with the handle flipped too. Some of them were going the other direction in the photo so I left it that way

I love reading all the posts here, and seeing what you ambitious ladies have already done. I vowed to myself not to start these until completing some other commitments first...so I can't get started yet.

Love the "leaders and enders" idea and will definitely put to use.

Have fabric, will sew.... Remember the line in "Three Amigos"...
"sew old woman, sew like the wind"????

Okay, the pictures did inspire me! I would like to join, do you need someone for 12 or 20?

[Kittyquilt9292]

mommyquilts, welcome to the forum and welcome to the houses swap. I believe this will be a really fun swap and we have until February 14, 2009! You can sign up for 12 blocks or 20 blocks, whichever you would like. I will send you my addy via pm. Pls let me know whether you want to do 12 or 20.

Hugs, carol/kittyquilt

Alrighty! I made one, and my kids loved it! It was so easy too, I used all scraps off the top of my pile.

I forgot...can someone attach a pic (whenever you get to it) that shows the label where we write our names. I want to make sure that the one I've pictured in my head is what everyone else is doing. Thanks!

[sewcarolyn]

I have not done labels yet that is a good idea to post one of them. They are so fast and cute to make

[SharonG/FL]

I used muslin for the label....nothing fancy. Don't have them all done though. That's the thing I hated doing the most! Booooooring!
