Javin - those "plain" little houses are adorable.

For applique you can also use the button hole or ladder stitch. __|__|__ It is what I use as my satin stitches never look very good.

I would like that to see that as well!! I really want to learn this.

The house are cute, great job....

Thank you so much! This is a great tut and I am sure will help anyone learning how to applique.

There are also other videos there for other techniques! Good idea to watch a couple.

I love the house blocks! How sweet they are.

I just love those little houses and the snowmen. I have not trouble with applique, I just am not creative. But, I finally figured out that maybe I should check out coloring books for ideas.
