"Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for rookie blog writers? I'd definitely appreciate it. Here is my web....."
I would like to converse with you!

Well, it's my day on the For the Birds Bloghop!
I am glad it's finally here. I made several things and not all of them are finished but here we go:
This quilt still has to have it's binding put on but I figured it would be good in this bloghop!
Well, that's all I made although I have many bird projects I am wanting to complete. Maybe we can have another bird bloghop next year?
Thank you Madame Samm of Sew WE Quilt and our cheerleader Mary of 1 piece 2 Mary. Have really had a lot of fun with this hop, but then all these hops are so much fun!
Please go around and visit the other fine sites who are birding with us today:
I have a giveaway this time and it is a set of 5" squares, but it is not your typical charm set. I am picking 20 of my favorite squares from my stash. I think it will be very nice! All you have to do is sign up to follow me and leave me a message that you are a follower. My husband loves to pick the winner for me and he will draw the winner at the end of this Bird bloghop on the day after it ends.
If you are already a follower, just let me know that in the message you leave. Now let's get ready and go to town with all the birds!
I drew these parrots and made this wallhanging for this bloghop. I've been busy!
This is a very old chicken pattern that I made because I love chickens! Very old pattern.
This is a chicken quilt with blocks that I drew. Love them chickens!

Block Two BOM Contrary Wife
This is Block 2, Contrary Wife.
This block is also on Marcia Hohn's site Quilterscache. I am having a little computer trouble, but I am going to go try to get you a direct link. Well, could not get on her site, don't know why but this is
a very easy block to make and here are my instructions:
1. Cut 5 solid color blocks 4 7/8" square. (Refer to my picture of red blocks to place)
2. Cut 2 of each of the next 2 colors(4 7/8 each). Place one of each color together and draw your
diagonal line on the back of the lightest one. Then sew your 1/4" seam on either side of the
drawn line. (If you have another method of making half square triangles then use whatever
method you prefer to make the 4 half-square triangles.
3. Now all you have to do is place the blocks in order looking at my block above and you will have
your block done in no time.
Sorry to be late getting this posted for you. Please let me know if you have any problems with any of these instructions.
I sure wish I could get some feedback on this BOM. Let me know if you like it, if it is too slow or just anything. If you can send me a picture of your block to quiltlikecrazy@hotmail.com I would
love to see it. Please remember to use the same 3 fabrics for block 2 as you used in block 1.
I also apologize for getting the name wrong on block 1. It was 5440 or fight and I previously called it the contrary wife.
Well, back to other things now. I think this will make a beautiful quilt but it will be a while before I can post the picture to show the finished design.
The above link will take to Marcia Hohn's quilterscache for this block.

Block One Charlotte's BOM
I have decided to use patterns that have only 3 colors. I am using Darks, Mediums and Lights in these blocks. The project is to use all the same 3 colors in the same fabrics for each block.
Block 1 is called "5440 or fight" and the pattern is available at www.quilterscache.com. This is Marcia Hohn's site.
It is a traditional block and here is a picture of my block 1.
When you finish your block please post a picture for me. I am going to set up a place to keep all our pictures in.
This is my first BOM that I have set up and hopefully there will be many more. I will be back next month, so have fun!

This block is a 12 inch block.When you finish your block please post a picture for me. I am going to set up a place to keep all our pictures in.

Sunday Night & Ready for Bloghop!
Finally my day on this Stitch Me Up Bloghop is here. I had a lot of things I wanted to make and never did quite make up my mind!
I was so inspired by my fellow blogmates photos of their projects and I will still keep making some things with these patterns so generously provided by Madame Samm, Cyndi and Debbie. I really loved the patterns but I went into brain overload trying to choose.
Anyway, thanks to each of you three artists for your genorosity. Madame Samm for creating this bloghop as well as her artwork. Then last but not least, dear Jane was a great cheerleader for us all. I hope she will continue cheering!
Here is my first project and photo:
My first thought was to embroider on my sewing machine this cute little bag for my suitcase. It didn't turn out like I thought it would but I still love it!
Next I made this little dresser scarf which I also like.
And finally what started out to be another purse is going to be a mug rug.
Now I would like you to go and visit these other sites of my fellow blogmates. I know you will enjoy the things they have made:
