Boy, have you been busy or what? :thumbup: Your Spring Birdhouse is great too. I just love those button flowers, what a great idea. Now I ask myself why didn't I think of that?

Thank you for all the nice comments. It's very satisfying to have fellow quilters appreciate what we do, and I get so much inspiration from this board.

And we are getting inspiration from your work. Very nice bird house, I love the embroidery. Do you mind if we copy your idea? I haven't finish mine yet

I chose bad colors and got stuck with my birdhouse. I decided to move on and add more colors so my mind wasn't looking for "matchine" colors, so I did and finished. If I cannot live with it once all the blocks are done I'll do another one.
Am I the only one really behind?

OMGoodness!! :thumbup: Your Bird House blocks turned out really great. I just love it. Never think you are behind in making these blocks because they are to do when you can. So you are never late!! Thank you for sharing.

Patty, I didn't know you were doing the BOM Houses. I started teh AOTH just 2 weeks ago and you posted the finished 3rd block that I am still working on. Have you posted the spring bridhouse block? In which page is it?

Deecee 07-10-2011 10:20 PM

Hey, I'm trying to do both as well but I'm only on my second AOTH block and am up to July's house block.

Barbara Lee 07-11-2011 03:31 PM

I'm totally lost. I have been busy with other things and now want to get back to my BOM. Where are we. I think my last one was the birdhouse. Looked on the BOM but couldn't find May thru July. HELP PLEASE>

Hi Deecee,
you are doing a wonderful job. Hang on there and I'll catch up with you and continue together. I am starting the school house so I am a bit behind.

Hi Barbara,
I am also starting the May block; the title of the thread is:

"1-May 2011 BOM House block pattern & discussion.
copy the title and do a search, you will be able to find it."

The title of the picture thread is:
"1 May 2011 Red & White School House pictures."

No, you're not the only one behind. I haven't started the Rowhouses or the Log Cabin. I need to add a little to my birdhouse. I haven't had a chance to get a battery for my camera, either. So I may get Behinder and behinder...LOL

Right there with you dear friend!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: At the moment I'm addicted to the AOTH blocks. I have two more and will then be "on schedule" with everyone else. :lol: :lol: After that I will be able to get caught up with my houses -- I HOPE!!!! :shock: :shock: Of course there are the Funky Dawg blocks I need to make, and the wedding quilt I need to finish quilting, and two blocks I need to make for a "love" quilt, and about about 120 nine-patch blocks I need to make for a block swap (those aren't due until October thank goodness!!!!), and a Storm At Sea quilt I need to layer and quilt, and..................well, let's face it!!!!!! I better get my hind end in gear!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ok, we will wait for the pictures but tell us about your progress. I am trying to figure out the school house.

Sula, could we ask Admin to create a User Defined space for the Houses BOM? I spend a lot of time trying to find the different threads.

Leakus,
Have you tried the link above, that Deecee posted for Barbara? I see that I need to ad July's links, but all of the rest of them are there. I hope this answers your question.

Nope, you're not the only one behind. I was way behind, then I got caught up, and now the batteries in my camera are goners. I haven't posted any of my last 3 blocks, either.

WOW!! :thumbup: You have done a wonderful job making your Spring Birdhouse. I just love the two little blue birds, they are so cute. I am glad that you finally got it done. Way to go girl.
:D :D :D :D

dphelps 08-30-2011 05:44 PM

I just have to say to each and every one who posted their birhouses here how much I so enjoyed them. There were so many cute "twists" and all were so beautiful. Lots of talent out there. You have all certainly inspired me. Thank you.

sewNso 08-31-2011 10:28 AM

well, i got behind, cause i stopped and did a jane stickle quilt. now i am catching up my house BOM and the stars BOM. and hand quilting along on jane between canning. BUT i did not start the AOTH. i let that one slip on by.
and it's sulabugs fault i did a jane. i luved the house BOM so much, i couldn't wait, so had to find something else to do in the meantime. so i found jane. WRONG. you can't do just one.....

leakus, you did not chose bad colors. it is beautiful just the way it is. watch, it will grow on you, unless it just doesn't match the rest of your color scheme.

mmonohon 08-31-2011 08:11 PM

They are all looking great.
