Million Thanks with Million Bells ... and my pinwheel table topper in use!

Tried to talk to the little birdie here asking it to fly around to you all with
a message from me, but more eager to finish the meal instead of listening to me!
We feed the birds every day. This small bird-feeder has a suction cup stuck
to our kitchen window. Watching the different birds coming and going are
such fun. Difficult to get the perfect picture though, but I try constantly! 
Here are the million-bells-flowers including my MILLION-THANKS 
for all the lovely comments on my last posts. I appreciate  
hearing form you all, old and new blogger friends.
Please excuse such a long wait for my thanks. 
Details of the table-topper, it looks lovely in the sun and such an easy
block to sew. The Moda "butterscotch and rose" was a perfect fabric, but
the whitish fabric I used stretched in all directions. So the solution was to let
my favourite long-arm quilter Merete take care of the table-topper.
 I just love her beautiful "flying butterflies" quilting-pattern. 
Soon some non-quilter-friends are coming for straw berries, ice cream,
 tea and may be a glass of white wine. I have asked to sun to stay put!! Room
for more friends, ....... always !  Till later, HAPPY-TIME to you, whether eager
at your sewing machine or hand sewing in your best chair.
Thanks for stopping by :))

The birdfeeder is so good there against the window - very entertaining I imagine! Your table topper is beautiful and that looks like a perfect spot for entertaining. I LOVE your Tammy bag from the previous post too!!

Lekker duk du har sydd! Skulle gjerne vært med på jordbær- og vinaften på din altan!
Den fuglemateren liker jeg! Så tett innpå deg du får fuglene!
God sommer!

Strawberries are perfect with the sun shining. We had some with scones and clotted cream while on holiday last week. Your table topper looks so pretty. Here's hoping that we all have a proper Summer for a change and you get lots of use (and strawberries) out of it.

Nydelig duk. Det er nok koselig å sitte ved dette bordet. Nydelig blomsterflor også, det gir sommerfølelse. God sommer.

Lovely quilt. Sometimes those simple blocks are the best. Love the bird feeder. (and the birds of course!)

I love the idea of the quilt on the table top. It's a lovely quilt. What a cute bird feeder also.
