No magic to it, Rita! I just found Lynn's picture (on page 63) by doing a SEARCH (I used the search box at the top of the forum page.)

When I located Lynn's photo, I just "right clicked" on the photo and selected "save image as" and named it and put it in a place on my computer where I could find it later.
Then it was just a matter of "uploading" the saved photo into my text box.

Instructions for putting a photo in a forum text box can be found here: [url]forum/forum-questions-and-suggestions/4275-tips-for-using-the-tqs-forum[/url]

Hope that helps if you want to try it!

Margo I don't know how you magicked that picture there but thanks for the reminder of what a great design it is Lynn.

I have just arrived in Co Kerry where the mist is very low and the humidity is very high. But they say a change is as good as a rest.

Hi Terrie and anyone else who is interested! I'm away from the house for a little more than a week but from what I can remember and glean from my iPad, I thought the blocks would work at 9 inches. The borders with the squares or half square triangles were 2 1/2 inch squares. I was thinking I would use a birdhouse every other block and fill the alternate blocks with appliqué branches/trees flowing from one block to the diagonal in the next row. Terrie, I was also thinking I would treat the roof like a flying geese unit, piece the reel between two background side pieces and then the geese unit to the reel unit. I really haven't thought it through much more than that yet. It will probably be the end of July before I really sit down to seriously work on my quilt because we were in the midst of switching my sewing room and a bedroom and will be returning with furniture from my parents' downsizing which will also add to the mass rearranging. Once I get my sewing room back together, this will be my first project. I'm still humbled by your interest! Happy quilting!

Thank You Margo. Just what I was looking for.
Karen

Thanks, Margo! I'll email her tomorrow - I had forgotten her TQS name.

Terrie, I don't know if Lynn will see your message here, but you can send her a message through her TQS profile: [url]community/my-profile/SpiritsFold[/url]

If you learn anything please share! Her design is great!

Message re: Beautiful Birdhouse quilt design by Lynn. I saved it as "Lynn's birdhouse, but don't know if that's your real and screen name or if you have another screen name?

Hi! I don't know where your picture is on this forum, but I have saved a copy of it on my Picasso. I am just wondering if you have any dimensions worked out for it? Thanks,
Terrie

Right! Cough up the elderberry port recipe Rosemary! I wonder would that be nice hot on a cold and windy night in the west of Ireland?

Not to mention Elderberry wine... (hic)

Marilyn your garden looks lovely. I love those asters. If you don't get the elderflowers this year there is always the elderberries. I also make elderberry cordial and elderberry jelly. Yum! DH believes the elderberry jelly keeps him from getting flu every winter - he might be right!

Thanks for the reminder of that programme Margo, I wanted to watch it again too.

Karen, Karen Fitzpatrick posted this info about Alex's sliver technique, and I'm seriously considering doing one! Like I've got nothing else to do??

In show #302 Alex shows a strippy insert like Jean Wells.
Show #801 Ricky did his lifeline sliver
Actually you probably mean show # 910. Alex does matchstick inserts that are pieced.
