Oh Barley, It is awesome!! I so want one of yours. I will keep my fingers crossed. Sew cute.!

That's great I love it.

Oh how nice. I love that.

Barley- your house is darling! :)

Thank you ladies.... Will try and get them mailed next week.

OK??? You got to be kidding. It is so cute. Great job.

Love it.....

I want one too!!!

OMG!!!! I want one!! How cute is that house!!!

Barley, your house is so stinking cute!!! Did you design it or what? I love it and like the others, I want one toooooo...

Barley it looks like its a hit. I hope you make more. I guess if there's only one I will have to pull a name out of a hat to see who gets it.

I will be posting my first set soon. I think they are cute. I hope you all will like them also.

I still have some detail work and some sewing still...but, these are my first set. They are coming right along.

Oh my goodness you guys are just making the best houses I love them all.

Treehouses!!! What a wonderful idea! I would never have thought of those. You are clever and talented!

Yes, they are coming along quite nicely! How darling! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Love all of your houses. What a creative bunch of sewers.

ok get in line everyone cause I want one of those treehouses too!

Judith your treehouses are adorable!

Everyone is so very talented -

This swap didn't sound that interesting to me when I first saw it, but after seeing the photos of the cutest houses ever, I really want to do the swap. I will try to find something and get in touch when I finish so I can be in on the fun...love them all!

Ditto on the tree houses. Cute, cute, cute.....

Now lets see, I want the treehouse, a people house, one of those funky houses, the church, a wonky house, etc..
My list just keeps getting bigger. What's a person to do?

Great to have another one to join us.

Well, I was so excited to join this swap; it seemed like a really fun activity and chance to expand my artsy side. But I think I've talked myself out of it because I know my blocks cannot match the fancy blocks that have been shown here and won't be able to receive one of those with all the requests for them. I guess I'll keep my funky and wonky blocks for my own UFO.

Oh dear, Mary Mo!!! No, don't worry about your blocks. This is supposed to be fun and silly and wonky!! Please don't be scared off by us. We want your blocks, really we do!

Mary Mo,
Please come & play with us. My blocks won't be as adorable either, I'm just hoping I get some of the fun creative blocks hoping that some of their magic will one day rub off on me.

Oh Mary Mo, I felt that too. (in my first swap) Come play and have fun. You will get some great blocks and we would love to get your blocks too. It's so much fun getting your blocks back. My first swap was the valentine swap this year. Have fun with us, won't you?? I never think my blocks are good enough. I just had so much fun making them!!

Mary Mo you need to share the LOVE!! not how good you think they are............. We may feel differently about your blocks then you do.................................... We all need to start somewhere in order to begin..........don't be a party pooper!!!! send your lovely blocks. Sometimes simple is better and is needed to help the wonky ones out.

Mary Mo please don't drop out of the swap..... We will love your blocks too..... Don't worry...... Each block is built with love and that love is passed on to whoever receives your blocks..... To me, the biggest part of the fun is figuring out just how to use the blocks in a project. The quilters are simply "encouraging" us by their postings. So, send your blocks, I would love to receive one of your blocks......

MaryMo, I don't just think it, but KNOW for a fact my blocks will not be as nice as the ones that have been posted so far but I'm still going to play :) :) :) There will always be someone who does something better or worse than any of us, it's the participation that is fun and think of the wonderful neighborhood quilt you are going to get out of it! I want one of your blocks so send them in! :) :) :).

Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I can (and will) do this, just at my own level. I've made a couple of funky blocks, but they've turned out kind of wonky too ... just now what I planned. So now that that's settled, I'm off and working on new blocks.

Yeah!! Mary Mo is in!!! More blocks for us!

Marymo your blocks will be great we are always are our worst critic. One time I brought a bunch of beads I made to get rid of I called them my bad beads because I thought they were terrible and within 2 minutes they were grabbed up people loved them so we may not think something we do is good but others think they are. And I would love to have you in my neighborhood. I divide them fairly so don't think you won't get one you really want I try to keep a tally of what people say they want and if it's possible I give them what they want.
Im glad your not dropping out.

Who wants a funky castle?
 

My friend gave me a yard of Woodrow of London fabric with tiny colorful squares, some gold. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to make something for the funky house swap. I am in the middle of making these 6 1/2 inch funky castle blocks. What do you think? Anyone want one? I am very happy with how they are turning out.

You are very smart to think of a castle. That fabric is just perfect for them. Great idea and great job!

Sweet. Love the fabric.
