The Bird House Sampler is a design I've been playing with for some time. The basic shape and border has been ready just waiting for the right charm and threads. I love the colors in this design, especially the Moonglow Wildflowers which shades from a very light blue to a blue with hints of lavender. Chris made the wonderful little birdhouse and it fits in perfectly with this design!

Fast to stitch and fun to watch the colors develop! I will- no doubt- do more using this same format!
