    Hey Elle!! Those windows are so fun! I got all the images from clip art in Microsoft word program. I had to reduce them all down quite a bit. The one with the quilters, I printed directly on the inkjet fabric and the tea one and kitty one I printed on regular paper then used my light box to trace onto the fabric, then colored with pigma pens.
    Wow Melissa, I am impressed I thought it was provided in the kit, it really makes the block that little touch, well done!!

    I love your little town. Do they have a candy store? Can I be mayor?

    Does Izy know about all this? I expect she is extremely pleased to see the cottages and little town you are creating for her homeplace. I, for one, adore what you are doing. :D
