W4Me ... a very detailed piece!! I can (almost) see how many different browns/grey's went into the tree trunk. Going to be lovely.

A small flock of friendly birdies.

I still have a good size piece of the FQ left ... wondering what block I should make with it!!

ACK!! I just noticed I missed the seams on the top bird. Drat. My seam ripper is broken. Will have to fix that when I replace it. Drat.

DHM - thank you. In one section of 100 sttches, there were 28 different colours! But, lots of detail because of it.

Love your bird friends. They look fabulous.

What a lovely flock!
Are you putting all the Tweets into your Scrappy Sampler?
Or are you now thinking of a project just for the Tweets?

Beautiful bird blocks, amazing cross stitch design, and beautiful dog friendship block, all are awesome.

QuiltE have you been to the PO recently, you should have received my signature block by now, (just wondering)

MiraB ... I'm all caught up except for any mail that came today. Will likely go to the PO tomorrow/Tuesday. You're lucky to have a Postie that does house calls!! :D

these will go into my scrappy sampler that I started over a year ago ... and gave up on.

Anael .. you might remember that sampler. I think we both gave up on it. The "Just Takes 2" sampler!! I gave up because there were so many errors on the blocks. It got to the point that we were all scared to start a block until a few weeks after the blocks were posted, coupled with their "make it bigger and whack it off" method with directions that had us whacking off almost half of the block! Such waste.

anyway ... I'd really like to finish that sampler, and I did not continue the downloads - so I need to come up with my own blocks.

DHMom ... What a terrible experience that must have been. Have you been following Anael's Ode to Mom quilt ... same concept with random block sizes for a sampler. And it's delightful!

DHM, tell me how you're going to do that! I still have those blocks somewhere hidden. Yes I did give up on it too because of the same reason. Every time I see her site with new designs I click it away. Never want to start anything ever again from there. Did you ever see a finished sampler? I didn't but I have to admit I never took the time to look for one.
I love your birdies!

What an amazing cross stitch design! I embroider the opposite: fairies :D

QuiltE, that's a thought! Why didn't I think of that? LOL I must admit I have but the Just Takes 2 blocks are very well hidden and I didn't want to think about them because of this bad experience!
