1 June 2012 BOM pictures.
 

Hi Again,

I am here to post my block. You will see that I changed her pattern just a little, to fit with my other blocks. This block was a fun one to make. I can hardly wait until a few more blocks have been finished & pictures of them have been posted!! :D Have fun sewing & share your pictures as soon as you can!!
:D :D :D :D

Vanogay AKA: Kathleen's Home Tweet Scrappy Home block for June.
 

I am also posting Vanogay's picture for her. I think she has done a fantastic job with her block. I always love making a birdhouse for summer. Enjoy!!
:D :D :D :D

Oh my those are gorgeous! Thanks Vanogay for designing this block for us!

SulaBug...as usual, you did a wonderful job creating your June block. Looking forward to seeing what creations others come up with.

Okay I am new here to the BOM, where do I get directions for the June 2012 block.... Would like to start making them. and also want directions for the May block ,like that one...

Beautiful blocks-I have to get back with it and start working on mine.

June 2012 BOM
 

For my June 2012 BOM, I chose to do the paper pieced bird house block from Quilters Cache.

Sulabug, thanks for posting my pattern and picture of the June block. I sent a PM about my computer problems because of a storm that went through, but enough of that, I am back on-line. I think your bird house is wonderful - and I think I have that panel where your bird and the pears came from. I did a trapunto on one of the panels I had for my niece and saved one panel for myself (which I've never worked on, but will one day).
Surfergirl, your PP bird house is cute - I didn't even think of checking quilter's cache when I was stressing over preparing the monthly block. I'll have to remember that step in the future!!
I sure had fun with this one though.

I am going to try to post a larger picture of my June BOM picked out by Vanogay!! Wish me LUCK!!
:D :D :D :D

OPPS!! I see it didn't work this time either. I will figure it out!!
:D :D :D :D

If you just click on the picture it comes out bigger...

Surfergirl, great batik fabrics. I am doing mine all in batiks so I will definitely be using yours for inspiration.

Here is my June block for the month of June!!:)

YEAH!! I finally did it. Thank you for bearing with me everyone. I hope you are excited about making your Calendar month block too.
:D :D :D :D

Surfergirl........I love the pp'd pattern that you chose for your June "Home Tweet Home" block. Your fabric's are awesome & your contrast with them is really pleasing to the eye. What a nice job you have done & thank you so much for sharing with all of us!!
:D :D :D :D

You are most welcome. I am so glad that the storm is over & you are back up & runnng again!! :D That is great that you have the same fabric that I used in my block. I am like you, I loved this fabric so much but never wanted to cut into it until I saw your pattern & the way you cut your Ivy. I decided it was time to use some of it & make a nice birdhouse block. Thank you again for your lovely pattern.
:D :D :D :D

Thank you so much for the information. I really appreciate it more than you can know. I have figured out how to post the larger size picture with lots of help from our Moderator PatriceJ. YEAH for PatriceJ!!
:D :D :D :D

Surfergirl, beautiful block! I might steal your idea of the Quilter's Cache block :D

SulaBug, your pic is just fine...when you click on it, it enlarges.

SulaBug: I love your birdhouse block. Those pears look like you could pluck one off and eat it!!!

Surfergirl: Your PP'd block is great. I'm thinking of doing a PP's one too.

Vanogay: Thanks for the birdhouse block for June. This will be fun.

love your block sulabug

love your fabrics in your block

SulaBug love your block!
If it doesn't take too much time would you explain how you were able to post a larger picture? I posted a picture under Pictures and it was so large that one has to scan up/down/side to side.

June 1 BOM
 

I liked this idea of a bird house, I made one for each of my grandaugters. I was having a hard time figuring out something for June. This is perfect. The pictures might be a little brighter than the originals. It's hard to auto adjust and get the right color on my camera. But they are bright. Katie

Beautiful blocks everyone. Such talent on here.

klgreene..........What beautiful blocks you have made for your DGD's 2012 Calendar theme BOM project!!:thumbup: They are both so individual & so pretty. Your color's are just so warm & cheery looking. Your work is always great & as it gets closer to time, I can hardly wait to see all of your blocks together. Thank you for sharing with all of us today!!
:D :D :D :D

Good Morning Tweety...............I just sent you a PM, let em know if it does the trick for you!!
:D :D :D :D

OKay Surfergirl ... I see right through your evil plot to make me love batiks... OH MY HEAVEN...I love your birdhouses and fabrics. Super job. Sula my eyes totally popped when I scrolled down to this block. Let me just say... WOW.. ok Im good now.

Sula I love your block... Seagulls in the background and bluebird in the foreground. This birdhouse must be near a large body of water. :) :) :) Beautiful.

KLgreene as always beautiful blocks and nice colors I love the Yo yo's I have them on my list of things to learn. Your gd's will love these blocks.

Last but never in the least Vanogay. Love the block you designed. Your block is awesome and you have stumped me. My creativity heads off in ten different directions. Im seeing paper piecing bird houses and applique vines around.. but I suppose Im just going to have to sit down at the drawing board and get whats in my head on paper so I can get busy.

Hugs everyone..have a happy and restful evening. :thumbup:

Love your little yoyo's
 

How fun...You had to have fun with this month's block ... love your little yoyo's...I must get busy on my block.

I have fun every month with these blocks. Is it July yet? Just kidding, I'm not wishing my life away, but I do look forward to each month to see who comes up with the BOM.

Exactly....

I love your blocks. Bright and happy looking!

Here's my birdhouses for June...I hung mine in the trees among the flowers and birds...

Hobbykat that is a clever idea. Great job. :thumbup:

Attempting to post my pictures! May and June are done!

Oops Keeps telling me my upload failed. Any suggestions. I already resized to smallest size. :eek:

Love the blocks cute with the little birds in the house.

Wonderful job on the Oh Susanah block and this months block. Your fabrics make the birdhouses simply adorable. Awesome job :thumbup:

HobbyKat..........Your June Home Tweet Home block for the 2012 BOM, is darling!! :D I just love your background fabric. It's perfect with the blossoming trees & brids in the background. What a beautiful setting for your bird houses. Thank you for sharing with all of us today.
