Finally, I've done a little bit of sewing. Yay! Not a lot to show you. One for the Birds is now officially 28" x 30" big as a quilt top. Obviously a long way to go. But it did take a tiny step in the right direction. And I do like the way it is looking in its absolute randomness of the piecing.
And, get this, it even stopped raining for a little while (we won't discuss the forecast). The sun came out and I got to use my traditional photo place - the trampoline. Honestly, if I tell you I made ice cream today too you will think there is too much good stuff going on. So I will tell you about the ice cream tomorrow.

The birds are looking wonderful, carry on. And ice cream, well maybe it was summer for a bit?
ReplyDeleteThey look great!!
ReplyDeleteCute little bird quilt! I like the different birds scattered about--nice! Ice cream? Homemade ice cream? We only make that on the 4th of July, but maybe I need to rethink that. :O)
ReplyDeletebeautiful i love the bird on the sofa block .................ice cream too yummy !!
ReplyDeleteOh wow this looks fab. I wondered how you'd get over the whole random sized blocks. And I think all the good stuff sewing and food wise happens at yours!

ReplyDeleteLOL Yes, dont rub it in with homemade icecream too.... The Burds is looking total opposite to scary, it'd be running towards it :-) Keep on keepin on.... xxx
ReplyDeleteYou need to come here for a holiday. I think it's warmer here. The birds are looking fantastic!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the birds in reality (& to sample the ice-cream!). Jxo
ReplyDeleteThe Birds are looking lovely so far Susan! And it is cold and rainy here in Australia too.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of this...the blocks floating on ice cream! Even my angry black owl looks happy in his pink background!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is random at it's very best - keep at it 'cos it's really lovely!
ReplyDeleteI am possibly, probably, officially gonna huff if that ice-cream is for Sunday. Won't be reading your next post in a jealous protest (sticking tongue out like toddler and blowing huffy raspberry now).
Oooh they are looking great, carry on!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely warmer here than where you are, but it's just as wet if not wetter! Definitely not ice cream weather.
This is looking so lovely Susan!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Susan! I love the colors and the staggered piecing. Keep stitching! Keep stitching!
ReplyDeleteYey! Love the birds! And most excited for the icecream ;o)
ReplyDeleteoh this is looking beautiful I love it so much and yay for icecream!
