all my attempts at making proper gingerbread houses have ended up in a sticky mess (absolutely detest icing! - not good for a gingerbread house manufacturer)
so - leave that one up to someone more suited to the task
Other than that you could sew one with lots of Tom Russell bling 8)

My new blue fabric for this challenge? Wasn't really planned, but as I have always wanted to make a blue quilt, I've been buying lots of blues this year... But yes, an architectural blue idea is taking shape in my brain... Now to get it out of there before it dissolves :roll:

I was in Switzerland a few years ago, and took loads and loads of pictures of architectural things. Doors, windows, fences,winding staircases, a sea of roof tops, lots and lots of geometric, and in my mind, artistic shots. Then, near the end of my visit, my memory card got full (yes, I've learned my lesson), and in order to take other needed pictures, I had to delete all the artsy-fartsy pictures. So, I'll just have to try to juggle my memory. ( or go back to Switzerland..)
Or I could just do a gingerbread house and use lots of large white rick-rack. :?
BTW I have a funny story of an engineer (my son) and an artist/chef (my soon-to-be DIL) making a gingerbread house when they were just getting to know one another. There was a protractor vs a spatula mini-war! Then are now still married since 10 years.

Lotti, please say you'll do something similar so I won't be tempted to go down that particular road for this particular challenge.... :wink:

But I am very sorry you had to delete all your artsy-fartsy photos from that trip! I have had to do the same; never any fun, and now I definitely carry an extra memory card or two, just in case. Your poor lost photos sound wonderful....maybe you can do an image search on-line to see if any similar photos from that area show up? At least to aid in this challenge? Not as fun as a return trip, but perhaps more feasible...

I bet they don't make gingerbread houses together any more either :wink:

Rosemary, you're right. Now she gets the kids to help while he's out working.
BTW, we have a little town near here, across the border in Ontario that is called the gingerbread house capital of Canada. All their houses are cute and quaint and lots of gables and dormer windows etc. Lois's house would fit in there nicely.

That's a great story about your son and DIL Terrie :lol: :lol: :lol:
Wow, lots of great ideas for quilts flying around girls. Every one of them sound pretty good. Can't wait to see the final pieces.
Heather, that little old town sounds really neat. Maybe not a quilt for this challenge but... Maybe in the future :evil: :wink:

well, probably that is true, too of course. Although, whereas before I thought maybe I could finish a quilt per year, I do think I can get through them a little bit faster now. But you are very right, more ideas keep finding their way onto the list......this is going to be so much fun!

Just came across it this morning - 5 meters of white with little blue polka dots. Wonder why I bought that? So, I just stuck it in the wash and I decided that I'll use it for our guild's mystery quilt. (only need 3 meters for the mystery, so will have 2 left!) My list is ever expanding. At one point I wrote the ideas down and got up to 19. Then I stopped. This architectural quilt and the mystery with polka dots were never even near that list!
