QuilterMomma 02-01-2012 07:49 AM

What do you mean "maybe momma too"? I asked first.

Crafty3790 02-01-2012 08:42 AM

You guys are funny do I need to separate you. LOL

Barley 02-01-2012 11:58 AM

Do you have room for one more in the "Funky" house swap? If so, I would like to participate.

Crafty, should I make 6 of them instead of just 3? I could maybe do 3, 12 inch and 3, 9 inch??

Crafty3790 02-01-2012 12:37 PM

You can do what you want I want you to have fun too.

Lady bug that is an adorable church block! I am planning to make another set of three and these next three a little more realistic. Your block is an inspiration.

Thanks to all of you for telling me you like my church block. I will be making a few more, so some of you will be able to get one. I really wanted the stained glass look for the windows, so it makes me happy that we all like it.

Great. I didn't want to bug you :) too much LOL but I would consider myself lucky to get one of your churches too. I hope you are having fun making them as much as we are having fun teasing you about them.

maine ladybug 02-01-2012 10:22 PM

Oh yes! I love to sew and doing these blocks is fun! I can't wait to see what everyone else is doing too. This was a great idea that Crafty had.

Annaquilts 02-02-2012 08:52 PM

Thanks. Frustraded I can't show of the others. They are very different again. I need a breather. Maybe I will try and post pictures again this weekend.

maine ladybug 02-02-2012 09:49 PM

I hope you try again, the first one is so cute I'd love to see the others. The fabrics you used are great!

Judith1005 02-03-2012 05:10 AM

love your funky house. The colors are so pretty. Ooo, I hope the others will load this weekend. I need some inspiration. I'm a little stuck. Think I'll just go sew and see what comes out of my machine. lol :)

rwquilts 02-03-2012 05:50 AM

Be sure and check the size...they may be a bit too large. Would love to see them all. The one you posted is adorable! It fits right into my neighborhood! LOL!

Ronda, I am pretty sure they are too large but when I shrink them they do not want to post either. I must be doing something wrong but I am so done trying for now. Sorry!

All blocks are 12 1/2 in. sq I can give the dimensions of the yellow house blocks if some one is interested. I drew that one out.

Annaquilts 02-03-2012 10:43 AM

Super Easy way to shrink those pictures from my computer geek son
 
DS showed me a super easy way to resize. Maybe it is of use to some of you.

Here's a tool that adds an option to your right click menu: http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/releases/view/30247

I set pixels to 640x480 as that was reconmented by patrice for this website.

Bring on those house block pictures. I am so excited I can finaly share pictures again. LOL

Crafty3790 02-03-2012 10:56 AM

Those are great. I will be working on some this weekend. I have a bunch of cool fabric all picked out.

MaryMo 02-06-2012 04:54 PM

those are beautiful .... makes my funky ones look less than appropriate, so I'll make some more normal.

Crafty3790 02-06-2012 06:12 PM

We want funky I'm doing both. That's the fun of it you can let the wild side out.LOL

maine ladybug 02-06-2012 06:14 PM

Those houses are so cute! We're getting some great houses in this swap!

Crafty3790 02-06-2012 06:16 PM

There 2 different sizes 12 1/2" and 6 1/2" I love the 6 1/2" size.

PinkLotus 02-06-2012 06:20 PM

WOW! Those blocks from LJ are gorgeous! Sooo glad I joined in on this :)

Crafty3790 02-06-2012 06:35 PM

I'm glad too. We are going to have some great blocks.

Judith1005 02-06-2012 06:36 PM

I love funky mixed in too. Don't change. They look awesome all different.

travelinggramma 02-07-2012 08:18 AM

The houses look so good! My machine was not making straight lines yesterday and the blocks didn't come out very well. I need to have a good talking to with the machine and my rotary cutter to let them know that I NEED straightlines!!

SewExtremeSeams 02-07-2012 09:19 AM

I do love funky houses... hmmm, thinking about joining this swap. :eek:

Crafty3790 02-07-2012 09:45 AM

You know you want to. Later I'm going to post pics of ones I made these are addictive.

rwquilts 02-07-2012 09:52 AM
