It's for the Birds blog hop Winner

Before I announce the winners of my giveaway for the blog hop I thought I would show you what has been going on in one of our bushes in our front yard. Last year we had a pair of Cardinals make a nest in the same exact place. This year they came again. I took this picture on May 3rd.
 This picture was taken on May 6. See their eyes looking at me.
 This pictures was taken on May 9. The two babies have left the nest.  One egg did not hatch.
Compared to bluebirds they are out of the nest really quick.


Now for the winners of my blog hop. Congratulations Ladies! I am sending you an email to let you know that you are the lucky winners.
Kris Loves Fabric wins the wool kit and patterns.
Pauline won the the two patterns and the fat quarter of bird fabric.

This has been a fun blog hop. So many creative quilters showing off their birds. Thanks again to Madame Samm for her fantastic organizational skills and Mary for being our cheerleader for this hop.

This weekend is going to be very busy for me so I want to wish all you mothers out there a Very  Happy Mother's Day to you. I will be spending the day with two of my children and one of my daughters-in-law. I hope you all get to spend some time with your children too.


So I want to share the rest of the days of the blog hop with you. Be sure to fly over and visit these bloggers to see their birds.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Wow! Those are fast! We have some baby bluebirds in the neighbor's mailbox nest. The kids like to stand in front of it and watch the parents swoop down at them.

How neat to see baby Cardinals and their nest. I've had a robin nest on our window ledge last year and that was exciting too. Thanks for the great photos. Congrats to the lucky ladies that won your giveaway. Happy Mother's Day to you.

We had pigeons nest last spring -- one minute they're there, then they're gone!
