Nice job Michelle! Sometimes birdies can be "copping an attitude" and ya just have to go with what works! It's all good!

Awwwww.....so cute!!! :thumbup:

I had fun making the birdhouse block ......now I am waiting for the May "house" block.
Love to see all the birdhouse blocks.....good work everyone!

Cute birdhouse Nana! I love your bluebirds!!

Your Spring Birdhouse is wonderful too!! :thumbup: I really like the floral fabric you used for the roof. Very nice block.
:D :D :D :D

The birdhouses are great! I'm just starting on mine this morning but wanted to look at the pictures first. Picked out my fabrics last night but after looking at the pics I think of others in my stash I may have to track down

Still have to stitch the applique bits down, but I love using double sided fusible to hold everything in place.

All of the birdhouses are beautiful. Still need to put the beaks on my little birdies.

What a great Spring Birdhouse!! :thumbup: I love your color combination & your sweet little birds. You have done a great job!!
:D :D :D :D

I am so glad to hear that you are just starting on yours today!! :thumbup: We will all be so anxious to see it, when you are done. Have a good sewing day!!
:D :D :D :D

Beautiful birdhouse! I especially love the subtle shading of the birdies! :thumbup:

Hi Everyone!! :thumbup:
I hope you are getting excited for the May 1st block to come out tomorrow, on May 1st!! :D I know that I am. It's so exciting now that we are going to begin our 5th block for this year. I already have my first four blocks put together & I am just loving it. I will hopefully post a picture for all to see soon. Good Luck everyone & enjoy the next one to come!!

:D :D :D :D

Hi SulaBug, Can't wait to see how you have put the blocks together. For me, that's the hard part and I'm looking forward to seeing what people do.

Here is my April Birdhouse........finally!!!

They were cut from a purple batik scrap I found...hubby's idea

That's one smart and creative hubby you have!!! :thumbup:

I finished my Spring Birdhouse today, but will have to wait til I get my "ole age pension" next week to get a new battery for camera.

Everyone else's are looking great. Hope mind looks O.K.

Better go now and start on School House since my husband may think sometimes I need to go back when I spell. LOL.

I just tell him, "You granduated from University and can't spell cat!" That helps. Ha!!

Mary, I'm so looking forward to seeing your birdhouse block!!! :thumbup: :D

Michelle, your birds are beautiful! That was such a good fabric choice.

I love your birdhouse!

Your Spring Birdhouse is darling!! :thumbup: I love the button you used for the opening. You have done a great job. Thank you for sharing.
:D :D :D :D

Boyee!!! I wasn't kidding when I said I couldn't spell was I??
I didn't notice until it was too late to change it. Granduated....a new word, everyone!

Don't worry Mary! We all knew what you meant! Actually, I thought you had spelled it that way on purpose!!:lol: :lol:

Oops! Used mind instead of mine. Getting worse by the minute. Off to a spelling class..now!

Not your spelling that is lacking- just the eyes in your fingers are blinded by the chocolate you were eating :lol: :lol: :lol:

Happens to me all the time ;) ;) ;) I miss typing words correctly all the time :roll: :roll: :roll:

Mary, your fingers were flying faster than your mind could keep up!! Happens to me ALL the time!! Well, that's MY excuse, and I'm sticking to it!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

My mind....what's that??? Maybe I should start using it. Where's it located? LOL

Maybe that's what's been missing all along. I guess I was behind the door when they passed that out. LOL

If you were, I was right there behind YOU!! :lol: :lol:

Anybody out there that hasn't finish the bird house?

I was on vacation and came back last night. But it was only 10 days so I cannot lie that I didn't make the block because of that.
I am going to try to cut it now if I don't get tempted to read one more discussion thread!

Must confess, I have the church and the farmhouse done, but have been behind since then :-( :-( :-(

Planned to catch up last week, but got behind yet again. Good thing I don't have to send the blocks off :wink: :wink: :wink:

I need to make mine still. I was working on a prom dress. I have tw star BOMs to make too.

I saw the beautiful dress you made!
I just start cutting the fabrics. Will wait to see yours.

[quote=leakus]Anybody out there that hasn't finish the bird house?

I have my church, barn, and school done but am still behind on my farmhouse and birdhouse! Also, I have three of the five star blocks done. I better go get started!
:roll: :)

Finally, here is my April birdhouse. Just posted May's too, so I'm finally all caught up and ready for June!

I made the birdhouse 1/4 size so I could post it in the garden...the 'John Deere' on the sunflower to the right should disappear when I square up and with seam allowances.

Those are so cute.

Boy, you have been busy!! :thumbup: I like your birdhouse block also. The fabrics you used are perfect & I love the sunflowers. They make your block look so springy!! Nice work.
:D :D :D :D

The birdhouse is 1/4 the original, WOW you have patients! I bet this is going to be beautiful when quilted!

Thank you both! I really enjoyed making this one, and I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Well done, you do have patience, and I love your sunflowers!

My birdhouse - mostly appliqued...
