Tweet Street

Welcome to Tweet Street!



 Looks like that little bird is coming to check out some of the vacant birdhouses here on Tweet Street.

We don't get snow all that often here in NC so I had to run out and get some photos!  This table runner is now sitting on my hall table bringing a taste of Spring into the house.

 I have a collection of  birdhouses so choosing this birdhouse fabric from Elizabeth's Studio was an easy decision.


I fussy cut around each house and had fun adding the detail.

I also made a small zipped pouch.  (My daughter claimed this one!)

Since I couldn't get a live bird to photo bomb my quilty photos, I had to make my own little guy.  Isn't he cute?

Bird pincushion pattern is from Sharon Holland Designs.

Now sip your tea and join me in visiting all the other lovely ladies as part of today's hop -

    Patty, these are both great projects, I had to just look for awhile to catch all the sweet details. We are down to a few odd snowpiles and the temps are reaching 68 today...wow! Of course, it will be low 40s the rest of the week but Spring is coming!!

    Great projects. The little houses appliqued on that blue just pop. Easy to see why your daughter grabbed the little pouch. Its adorable. Best of all, I love how you just made your own bird when you couldn't get the real ones to cooperate. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

    Love your birdhouses. Can't blame daughter for wanting the zipper pouch, it is really cute. If you want snow, I still have lots, but it is melting fast. First time I have seen grass since November. I hate winter!!!

    Patty your Bird houses look great on that bright blue back ground. It really makes them pop!! I am going to be looking for some for a up coming bedroom retreat make over that is going to be bird themed. I might have to "borrow" some of your ideas if you don't mind. Thanks for sharing the birdies with us.
