The skyscrapers are a great idea. As you said, some people live in the cities.
Thanks everyone for the incouraging words. I'm very happy you like my work!

Hi travelinggramma,
Its called Welcome to Our Home, published in the early 1990's, I just stumble on it, and was glad to be able to find one to purchase! Here is the link to Amazon, where I got mine: http://www.amazon.com/Welcome-Our-Ho...8829144&sr=8-1
Here is a link to the picture of the book: http://img3.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.58814447.jpg
Its got a lot of cute lil patterns to do with "humble abodes"...
Take care,
Kif

My home blocks
 

ok here are mine. I only did 3 sets............31/2x31/2, 31/2x 91/2, 61/2x61/2. I know people didn't want dog houses and such but I couldn't resist this one. I thought of Robert.lol

Adorable Abonda! Wow!!

Those are really cute!

Abonda I love them the beehive what a great idea.

Awesome Abonda!

Wow, these house are awesome!! I love all of them coming in. I'm hoping to be able to post mine soon.

Of course I had to buy it. The shipping was more then the book.

OK, I'm going to have to STOP throwing out my selvages! :)

I saw a house wallhanging that had blocks with potted flowers and such as 'fillers' between the blocks. It looked like a cute neighborhood.

Hehehe I want DH to order it for me. My birthday is next week. It looks very promising.

Sorry gals, for tempting you with the book...;) In my little ole opinion it is a great book! I wasn't sure how it would be when I ordered it, considering the older publication date...but it is full of great little abodes! If you feel any better, I also paid more to ship it than I paid for the book...lol
Take care all,
K

The book was only 45 cents the shipping was $3.99

Same for me! What a riot, that the postage is 10 times more than the book!

These are the last of my blocks. I have finished 4 sets of 3 to be sent out. 3 birdhouses, 3 lighthouses, and 6 churchs

You are on a roll there great.

I love the lighthouses. They make me think of my Mom. She always wanted to live in one!

Abonda I love all your houses. The beehive is so different and the dog house is so cute!

All the blocks are just fabulous. I have two simple sets done - a set of 3 birdhouses and 3 little houses. I'll try to get pictures posted soon.

Abonda, love your blocks. I expecially love that poodle. It is so cute. Would love that one in my collection.

LOL!! I know! I have that quite a bit when I buy books on Amazon...sometimes I get lucky, and they do have a nice used one and offer it with their free super saver 2 day shipping...love when that happens!!

I made six houses and found some fabric with people on it to use in the doors and windows. They are 6.5 x 6.5 and 6.5 x 12.5 -
Have really enjoyed being a part of this swap and seeing all the posibilities!

Travelinggramma

How clever! People in the windows.

Love what you did with the little people!

Very cute! Excellent job with all of them.

They are so cute and and you are very creative to put people in the windows. I love them.

How fun it is that. Love it. There are some great houses here.

Put my blocks in the mail today. Just wanted to tell you they are on the way.

Oh my maine ladybug, you are quick. I hadn't got to these yet. have my patterns all set out and the fabric, but just have not got to sewing on them. Will get on these next week or so.

LOL! I had it in my head that they were due by the end of the month...turns out the sign-ups are until the end of February and the blocks aren't due until April 15th!!! Oh well, I've always said I'd rather be early than late.

I am not even starting them for a few weeks...

Your not the first ones I got LJdugas and Abondas already. Im getting a fine little neighborhood.

Yes, I remembered seeing them when you posted lj's. At least I won't have to worry about running out of time to get them done!

Enjoy your neighborhood for now Crafty ......

I play nice I like to share. LOL

Let us hope, you are doing the exchanges.

I got ladybugs today. There great.
