I was thinking it would look great around a log cabin quilt. Would any of you sign up if I did it?

    The house will be in the swap area. Each person will make house blocks and send them to me and I will exchange them. I will post some threads for inspiration.

    I haven't forgotten the figget quilt I'm going to be working on it in the next couple of weeks anyone have someone special they want it for? Let me know.

    All the top quilts are just beautiful, and Robert your ooh lala quilt is also beautiful. (Goodstuff)
    (Badstuff) my auto threader on my Embroidery Machine just now broke and I've only had my machine since September what's up with that, and my eyes just aren't what they use to be and I need that threader. Thank Goodness it's still has 3 years service warrenty....But boy do I hate to have to drag it to the Machine Shop....Oh well! I had to vent...LOL

    Love those houses I started a house quilt but it has been put on the back burner and they are little house so I would love to have one...

    Robert the quilts are great! The one for your wife is so special! What a wonderful, thoughtful gift.

    Sounds like the houses swap will be a good one. I've wanted to do a house quilt for a while myself.

    Crafty, I am so sorry to hear about both you and your little darling being sick again. I sure hope they can figure out what is going on with both of you and get it fixed.

    Robert, what you did with the heroes quilt is absolutely wonderful. You are so imaginative and creative. Cathy's quilt is absolutely beautiful.

    I think I have to pass on the house block swap, Crafty. I am so overextended right now and am trying to get some things finished up. But I will certainly keep an eye on it and enjoy what you guys do. Love those house blocks you did, Linda.

    Count me in on the House Swap. It is so funny, I was just looking at cottage patterns and thinking about doing a English cottage quilt with gardens and then next thing I know......A house swap.
    Can't wait.
