I am on a roll, so to say, am making bonnet girls and men on wallhangings, have 2 made, but maybe just attempts to practice as do not like either one. have plans for a  wedding one and a school teacher one and a best friends one.. . are made with iron on steam a seam and then add fabric border and put flannel on back. then whom ever has it can either add personalize the wedding couples names, date of wedding, etc and the teacher one can put teachers name, the school, etc.. was going to put that clear plastic on them to add a photo, but then would not be washable, am unsure yet.. here is one made so far, called summer..

Would a hidden pocket, of fabric, solve the problem, Ruthann?  It could be hidden in the side/top of the house, the horizon, or side of the block?  Just an idea.  I have been hiding things behind fabric doors, and playing with pockets this year.

Forgot to say how charming this is.  What a great way to use up scraps.  The dress bows are darling.  Crocket (sp?) is one of my favorite games.  Just my speed at this age.

Boy, Ruthann and Linda, you are moving along.  I had quilted yesterday.  The 12 Days is looking so good with each inch of progression, I just hate stopping.  I was forcing myself to the machine, and catywompus 9 patch blocks, when I dedided to get on here and get up to date.  Go girls!  You are moving along so well.
