Your block looks gorgeous! Love the roof - its unique.

Your block is lovely!

Anyway, thanks again Qbee for finding us such a pretty block.


Gorgeous fabrics! Love your bird house loads!

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

It is stunning and will make the tote a topic of conversation wherever you go with it!

Very pretty! :thumbup:

Well done with the birdhouse blocks, all are lovely!

Deecee, can I ask is your birds and wattle painted? Truely beautiful.

I wanted to do the Hoffman's woodpeckers that live in my yard, but then I realized that I needed to do a tree trunk, not a house, and then I needed to embellish the trunk. The orchids that grow on the real tree trunk are much too hard to even imagine doing, so I decided to do a philodendron. There is a minimum of sewing, and a lot of appliqué.

Janetica,

Wow! I love how your idea grew and you made it your own! Great woodpeckers! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Qbee 04-13-2011 11:37 PM

I agree! That's the nice thing about the BOM is that we can all make it work for what we want :D :D
Beautiful work!! :D
