These are my last set. Hope yall will want one of these because, every neighborhood has at least one run down, rumored to be haunted house. Plus, this was my moms pick. I did a more standard house for the swap that you can add to or delete from. Bottom picture is the one I embellished for myself.

Muse&Sew 03-11-2012 03:53 PM

Judith really fun haunted houses! Very clever.

abonda 03-11-2012 06:27 PM

very cute!! I want one!!

maine ladybug 03-11-2012 07:35 PM

I LOVE your haunted houses!! They are so clever and just adorable!

Annaquilts 03-11-2012 07:52 PM

Great idea. I hope I get one of each posted in this thread. I know the reality is not but I can always hope. LOL

Those are great! What fun it is to see all the different houses. I can't wait until it's time for us to get them back!

Crafty3790 03-12-2012 03:35 PM

Those are great.

Judith1005 03-12-2012 08:24 PM

rwquilts, awesome houses! Love, Love, Love.

Mariposa 03-14-2012 04:34 AM

rw--super cute selvage houses! :)

Nancy in Louisiana 03-14-2012 06:17 AM

RW--that last batch turned out too cute!! I think you should just send them directly on to me. Love how you placed the tree by the house and the borders on the blocks.

Nancy in Louisiana 03-14-2012 06:21 AM

I find I'm working too hard to make these houses wonky -- it's like trying not to be anal when making a random scrap quilt. I need to learn a way to relax and go with the flow rather than stressing out over colors, angles, etc. This has been challenging, but in a good way. I guess I needed the therapy more than I realized. Or maybe I need to get some more wine...

Mariposa 03-14-2012 06:54 AM

I hear you Nancy! Sometimes I am that way too! I think I need some chocolate....dark that is!

Annaquilts 03-14-2012 09:46 PM

Those wonky ones are the hardest aren't they? I found paper piecing a breeze after the funky neighborhood. LOL Go figure.

I haven't been on in awhile but you ladies have been so busy. I love all the blocks shown. Judith your haunted house is fabulous!

I can't wait to see which ones I'm lucky enough to receive. I haven't had time to make any more so unless I get a chance in the next couple of days I guess I'll just send in my original 6.

sistahdebbra 03-24-2012 11:06 AM

Great - did you see the stamp and self address mailing label??? I didn't think to put them in the bag with the houses, I just dropped them in the envelope. Silly ole me!!!

Crafty3790 03-24-2012 02:41 PM

Yes I found them.thanks

oldcatlady 03-24-2012 04:11 PM

OK, I'm finding PP very difficult!!! I just spent over an hour, (ok closer to 2 put didn't want to admit it) working on ONE church block from the quilter's cache and found that one of the templates is not to scale with the rest of the templates!!! I'm stopping for the night and will pick it back up tomorrow.

any advice on other PP sites that have free patterns???

maine ladybug 03-24-2012 08:29 PM

Oh dear! I'm sorry that happened. Usually there is a box on the page that you need to check to make sure it's the correct size. I usually draw my own block using the picture on the site. I use graph paper and then print it out on PP paper. Maybe that would work for you?
