Good ideas Izy!!!! Should I do stitching on the door itself or around the outside of the door? Or maybe applique a door frame around it? (Oh the door is pieced.) I had thought about putting a window on it but wasnt sure on that.

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 not around for two days and you just take off!! All three of your buildings are just adorable and I love it that you are taking the time to put cute little things inside the windows!! How fun!! The door does look much better with the stitching around it and the window on it. I love all three and cannot wait to see the next one!!

Henry I bought it at a LQS, but it went out of business a couple of years ago :evil: Look on page 2, I put a link to the Company's web site, they sell them at the same price I bought this for 3 or so years ago. It is 6 seperate patterns. The first 5 are for the individual houses, the last one is the borders and alternate blocks and finishing up.
