Well done hobbykat, I love your birds - sweet!

Hobbykat, what a great idea for the birds!!!! I never thought of that!! :thumbup: That's another reason I LOVE the QB!! We get so much inspiration from each other!!! :thumbup: Now I'll have to dig through my stash to see what I can find. If I don't have anything, gee, I guess I'll just have to buy some!! :lol:

Oh! I love it! Would you mind if I change my roof to yours?

Thanks Karen! Of course I don't mind. That is what sharing on the Board is all about. I used a pattern from Carol Doak's Foundation Factory software, but I had also found two on the web with PDF downloads at http://www.thequiltedsnail.com/ppieced.html.

Have fun! I am going to find another house to make!

Mine is done. This is such a cute block and simple too! I haven't sewn around the applique because I don't feel like changing my thread (some excuse!)

BATIKQLTR 04-03-2011 10:31 AM

Such pretty fabric!!! I like the drk roof, I think I will do that also. I'm just starting to learn applique, and keep putting off starting mine. LOL

Your Spring Birdhouse turned out darling too!! :thumbup: Your quilt is going to be so nice. I love your idea of the other blocks that you are putting in your quilt. I am thinking of doing something very similar. Nice work.

Going to be beautiful pittsburgpam!

Millstream Mom 04-03-2011 01:01 PM

Pittsburg Pam - that quilt is wonderful! I'm so green to this stuff that I hadn't even considered using co-ordinating color schemes throughout my blocks! I love all the little extras - the cat, the flower, the apples!

sandyl 04-03-2011 01:19 PM

Hey, Pam your birdhouse looks awesome in your quilt. Great job.

All that's left is the stitching. This will be my second applique attempt and the first time I cut the pieces. I'm not liking the roof so much now, but it's staying :)

And I'm giving them eyes and will embroider on the beaks.

Qbee 04-03-2011 02:21 PM

Oh my gosh....ya'lls birdhouses are TOO BEAUTIFUL!!
And Conniequilts.....I love your roof!!

virg 04-03-2011 02:29 PM

Would love to join block of the month and week.How?

Qbee 04-03-2011 02:34 PM

You just join in :D Go here and you will see all the months so far:

http://www.quiltingboard.com/user_page.jsp?upnum=1901

Typically, each month you'll see 3 links. One gives the pattern itself with any directions, etc. Then there is a seperate thread just for the pictures. Lastly, BATKQLTR has been doing a slide show for us each month with all the pictures....EYE CANDY!!! So the 3rd link is for that.

The only "rule" is to have a GREAT time :D

You must have good bird seed - it's attracting lots of birdies.
I've done a PP house like yours for another project & like the looks of it. Hmmm... what to do. PP or applique??

Everyone is so unique - I plan to 'peep' around for awhile for more ideas.

I just tried to look at all of your blocks & my screen shows nothing but what you wrote about them. Am I missing something here?
:D :D :D :D

Sorry about this note. The next time I loaded this page it is now showing all of the finished blocks from everyone!!

Very pretty! I like the way you have added the other elements to offset your
blocks.

I like what you all have done.

karenkrafts 04-04-2011 07:26 AM

All the blocks are just beautiful and I'm so happy that I got a peek at how to start putting the blocks together in a way that's not a straight line. Love it!
