I am happy with my first effort of the little red school house. Boy do I wish I could give it a garden or drapes, ha-ha. I had a little trouble with the directions. First of all I wanted to know which red goes to the roof, the gable side and the window side. I wrote myself directions (on my blog if you are interested). Happy stitching, Christa in...
