My method of embroidering the Birdie Stitches block is to cut the square of fabric, trace the pattern, embroider and then add the patchwork around the edge.
Well, that is what I did for December's block and was NOT happy, so I did it over and here is my finished result:
Now I'll show you my first attempt:
Those birdies were not happy with their tails pinched off!!!
I'm all set to put this quilt together!! Yahoo!!
Thank you Corey of Little Miss Shabby for a great BOM!

That is going to be such a cute quilt I can't wait to see it completed!
Oooh, thanks for showing this, Mary. I am waaay behind on these stitcheries, but I was doing it like you did. Perhaps I'd better try it the other way! :o\
Can't wait to see the finished quilt!
XOXO,

What a SWEET block!
That is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life!
Uh-oh, I do it the same way and now I'm worried about the block I am working on! :-o Off to measure! Thanks for the tip~
Your block turned out very cute!
Pinched tails. LOL. Very nice Mary! I really need to get on the ball and finish my blocks.
So cute :-) I'm looking forward to seeing the finished quilt! No pressure of course :-) I do like the redo block better. I have something I need to redo myself.
Now maybe you can make a little Christmas pillow with your extra block. This will be such a cute quilt when its put together.
your 'birdie stitches' are the cutest!!
Love your block. I was thinking to embroider first too, but maybe not so much now!
These are so adorable!
Very cute!!!!
So cute! Those chopped off tails would have bothered me too.
Very cute block. Look forward to seeing the finished quilt.
Oh, yes, they look much happier now. :-) That's such a cute block!
Very interesting. I have wondered about doing that. Now I know better.
Beautiful! Your quilt is gorgeous... and I'm loving the Fandango!
