  1. ahh-yes–I love gingerbread–and they would be fun blocks to look forward to each month to stitch–
    glad you are back home and getting settled back in there–

  2. Back at home… you can see for miles up there…. not too hazy for a big city. Your houses are just lovely and would be perfect for a BOM… you and DD make a great team… and such pretty fabrics you have found to team them up with…

  3. Your gingerbread houses are sew cute! The fabrics you have chosen to go with these embroidery blocks look perfect. Looking forward to seeing how more of this project. Yes, it would be nice BOM … 🙂 Pat

  4. I really like that house block. Maybe I am wrong but the embroidery looks like even I might be able to do except for the french knots. I am not very good at those! Do you live in Saudi Arabia? Our son and wife here had a student from Valparaiso University stay with them for awhile while attending the
    University that was from Saudi Arabia.. Nancy

  5. Joy, what delightful houses! At first thought, I would have embroidered them in pastels, as pastels are my favorites. Brown is an excellent choice for the gingerbread houses. That is part of what is great about these hops – the sharing of the thought as to what the creator did what he/she did. This helps someone else consider other options more readily. I still don’t know what I might do, but at least I would give more consideration other than my initial thought and go with it. It would also make great redwork or bluework. I like that you say your house is an apartment. Home is where you are. I have only been out of the US to Canada and England. I loved each of the trips. I took the safe route and travelled where there was not a language boundary and not really much of a culture change. Thanks for participating in the hop. I hope to see the houses as a block of the month soon.

  6. I missed the last days of the hop by going on vacation, but now I’m checking it out. These are wonderful houses, and great designs by your daughter. You know I think she’s very talented. I would love them to be a block of the month next year! I happen to have that pink and brown reindeer fabric, so I’m all set. LOL I love your view, too. How great to stay inside in comfort and see that out the window!
