Just saw the picture with the flowers and I really want to try to add those also. Very nice idea!! :D :D :D :D |

All your birdhouse blocks are just adorable!!!!
Quiltingly Yours Andrea |
I LOVE all the birdhouses!!! Everyone is being so creative! I'm going to do mine next week, but I think I will paper piece too. So many cute ideas!!!
|
Sorry I've not been around much but I'm still in the game! Love the birdhouses and I was going to make sure to add one for my house BOM quilt!
|
I just had to register to tell you all how cute your birdhouses are. I have been following your BOM since January.
If you step back from the pictures and look at them without thinking of them as birdhouses, some of them almost look like scarecrows or clowns. They have crazy hats and black noses. :D :D I would love to take part in this, but right now I have no place to sew. |
Thanks ladies for kind comments..after I posted the pic I can see things on the block that should have been different,...
Such as my stitches were too small for the roof caused the fabric to pull, the roof needs to be lower onto the house..but oh well I still love this block. |

Sulabug,
I've been looking for the directions on this month's block. Can you point me in the right direction. I can never seem to find them till I've looked under every page of the BOM. Need something a tad bit quicker. Thanks |

Well I found the page for the pattern, but when I print the pattern it is "blacked out" where there is pictures. So I need some more info to continue on. Thanks

Really cute, Cherylmae!
I know what you mean about handwork. Relaxes me, too Plus it keeps me from eating in the evenings!!

Red breasted robins are the sure sign of spring here in cold Minnesota. I did my roof a little different than the pattern. I like being able to work around my shortcomings.
Spring has sprung and the robins are back [ATTACH=CONFIG]182384[/ATTACH] all 4 blocks. I made a few changes to my barn. [ATTACH=CONFIG]182385[/ATTACH] |
Great to see so many different species of bird in everyone's birdhouses.

We have so many of them in our area, so I wanted to share them with all of you ladies. Have fun making your block for April 1st, 2011 & share your pictures when they are finished. Are we having FUN yet?
