Posts: 852 09/30/08 09:18:56	Tags : None I decided to do Birdhouse Bellpull for TWOctober this year. I ran through the hints and tips to recall all the quirks of this design (especially when I noticed I had things highlighted on the nuthatch block and I'm nowhere near that one yet!), I think I'm up-to-date again. I also decided to run through the topics and see what I was talking about the last time I worked on this piece (2002?!?). It seems I was planning to substitute beads for the red x's in the border....and had decided to look at 02005 as a possible option. I don't think I ever did that. I am a little over half way done with the design right now. I'll see if I can get a picture up tonight of where I am now. I'm hoping to get the piece done before Halloween, but we'll see how optomistic that is. The last time I worked on this design, I was so sure I would finish it quickly, I stitched my signature and year in the roof of the house wren block.....it was 2002! I sure didn't get it finished then. And these birdies definitely deserve some love after being neglected that long. So, is anyone out there willing to join me? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Erin in MI TW WIPs: Birdhouse Bellpull, Enchanter, Guardian, Woodland Fairy, English Garden Sampler.

Posts: 854 10/05/08 08:06:46	Hey there Jen! LOL about the date - actually the way I stitched the 2, all I have to do is add 2 little lines and it'll be an 8!!! hehehehe. Now, if I do that, I had better finish it this year!!! I've gotten quite a bit done on the bluebird block this weekend. I'm just finishing the scene border and I'm done with the picture...then on to the over-one name below it - ugh. But once that's done, 2 more blocks to go and I'll be finished! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Erin in MI TW WIPs: Birdhouse Bellpull, Enchanter, Guardian, Woodland Fairy, English Garden Sampler.

Posts: 856 10/08/08 08:26:14	Ahhh, that's ok mis, I haven't gotten a picture yet, so how's that for a stitch-along! I just moved the snaps last night, too....and I should be able to finish it off before I have to move them again, so I'm figuring I won't have any WIP piccies of these guys, but that's ok...it's moving along quickly enough that I'm ok with that. I got all the greenery around the birdhouse on the titmouse panel done last night, as well as a good chunk of the birdhouse itself. Go go go! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Erin in MI TW WIPs: Birdhouse Bellpull, Enchanter, Guardian, Woodland Fairy, English Garden Sampler.

Posts: 7 02/10/09 21:03:25	I finished the bird and birdhouse panels last week. (I have been working on this since 2004.) Now, I have started the border. I will finished, soon, I hope. Did you finish, Erin? I want to see how you put your name and date in the roof of the wren's house! I was thinking about putting my name and date at the bottom, under the border. But...I'm open to a better idea! Barbara in Texas

There are links to closeups of each block. Do you have any pics of your piece?

It's pointing to a user name that isn't valid.... I can't wait to see your finished birdies Erin in MI Recent HD's: Birdhouse Bellpull (Teresa Wentzler) PictureTrail: http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?username=erin_in_mi
