Yeah I wish I would have been able to find some cloud fabric.. the blue I had didnt look good so I went with a cloudy white..which actually is not showing up in the picture. But I think it would have been nicer to have the blue sky. Bricks would be fun I will have to keep my eye open for fabrics for future buildings :)

I had the hardest time with the bridles--one piece went through the eye! So I put on halters. :lol: I used two different colored ribbons. Placing the eyes can be tricky... just keep looking at the pattern!

I have to make another--a two horse barn--for an auction for a horse rescue place, so it's great to see yours!

Thanks for sharing!

Ooh..thanks for the tips.. and again thanks for hooking me up with this book and pattern. :)

I love passing along patterns when folks love something... just like I love it when I see something that wows me and I need the pattern! :-D
