Oh, Erin, this is beautiful Birds? Really? I might not be able to resist trying applique AGAIN! Doesn't seem to be my thing, but if I keep trying..........

Erin, I REALLY want to do this quilt. I've been afraid of applique for so long and this is the year I'm going to get over it! Did you already post the pattern and tutorial for that large center part? If so, where can I find that?
Also, how often do you plan to post new blocks for this project? Weekly, monthly, or somewhere in between? I love, LOVE your cardinals and flowers. :-)

I absolutely love your cardinals, I think you have made a quilt that is just tooo irresistable! Our Canadian Ontario winters are filled with these wonderful birds and are perfect contrast for our winter snow

Hi Erin,
I have been working my head off to finish Miss Kringle, now I have it almost finished, made from fabrics from my stash, except for the background. So now off to block number one, I love it! I wonder if I will manage to keep up with your pace. And the picture you showed us of your first block is really amazing!
Thanks!!!!

I just wanted to say a big thank you and also tell you what a creative person you are! I participated in a table runner swap over on quiltingboard.com. Theme was Winter. I searched and searched and found your "Mittens" pattern..It made up so easy, and my swap partner loved it! I posted on QB the info on where the pattern came from and also links to your site. Now I see you are offering the lovely Jingle Applique, too..all I can say is WOW and again, thanks so much!
Regards,
Kan
