Birdhouses are a popular addition to many quilts.  Whether made by piecing, paper piecing or applique, they add a special something.  It’s fun to play with different fabrics for the houses and roofs.  Stripes and plaids look great.  Then you can add some more texture and interest with your quilting… parallel lines for boards on the walls, angles lines or scallops for the roof.

The Birdhouse Welcome wallhanging pattern can be made from  charm squares or you can raid your scrap bin.  Full size letter templates are included – you choose the applique method.  Finished size is 12″ by 28″. 

Spring Row Quilt is shown here in just a few colors, but with eleven birdhouses and lots of flowers and vines you could have so much fun playing with color and fabric. 

This is SO CUTE!!!  And just in time for Easter, too.  Quick Cozy Quilts series are patterns for three individual wallhangings.  Make just one or all three.  Each looks great on its own but are designed to look well together, also.

Love Grows… wall hanging features piecework and fusible applique.  Mary Kerr of Just My Imagination has written clear, easy-to-follow instructions.  The 16″ x 17″ wallhanging is embellished with ribbon (for the ivy) and yoyo flowers.

Kathy Sabatino designed these placemats and tablerunner with birdhouse duplexes… fully occupied; no vacancies In The Neighborhood.  The table runner has a birdhouse at each end and the middle has been left empty for a centerpiece.

Lovebird Lane Block of the Month is one of my favorites.  It’s so bright and cheerful. Each birdhouse has its own personality.  The border really completes the beautiful, romantic look of the quilt.

Periwinkle Lane Block 5 is another one of my favorites.  Of course, I like all the Periwinkle Lane blocks.  They are so colorful, fun to make, and the embroidery is just the right accent for the crayons.

Oops… gotta go. All this talk of birdhouses reminded me… I have to go put out seed for the birds!
