They certainly do break out in praise. One man had the land but had never had a house on it. He said "Now I can live on my kingdom!" I'm made a table runner for this years auction, and will post pictures when I get them taken. I used a twist & turn pattern and it has roosters on it, so I named it "Caribbean Rooster Round Up"!

These recipients are CHANGED forever once they get their house!! It's an amazing miracle in someone's life who've had nothing! Well, the table runner sounds so good and know that it will be a hit! Yes, please post the pics! Everyone here (almost) loves chickens/roosters!!
:D :D

Hi lallyann! I did not do that last quilt with the tropical scene of palm trees, cabanas and beach houses. It was done by a blogger who has copyrighted the pattern. Anyone who copyrights a pattern is very unlikely to want to give her pattern out. These were not all done by me. These are primarily my favorite photos of quilts done by others for inspiration purposes. I will be making my version of this quilt doing my own patterns at the request of a few people and will post those patterns on this thread for all to enjoy. I'll send you a PM so you don't miss the post. Thanks for your nice compliments of my house collection photos of favorite house blocks!
:-D :-D
