For years i have been saying that I need to come up with a quick, fun & easy holiday project so that I can send all my relatives in England something handmade. Well, this was the year that I finally made it happen. And for that I thank Kajsa Wikman, the author of Scandinavian Stitches (Stash Books) because were it not for a certain project I found in the pages of her book, my relatives in England and I would have been disappointed yet another time.
Here is a photo of her Yule House project from the book.

my Yule Houses
These houses made the perfect gift for the relatives because they are incredibly lightweight and so are cheap to mail oversees. Also, you can select fabrics, and window and door shapes and sizes that you think will suit the person the house is intended for. I admit that it took me a long time to come up with fabric combinations I liked,
