What do you do when you have four projects in progress and a good friend has a birthday… You start a new project for her. My friend, Katie and I ALMOST share a birthday!! Her’s is June 15th and mine is June 16th. Now the fact that we are separated by about 25 years doesn’t come into play in this story!!
Last Saturday morning I decided that I wanted to make something to give Katie and I knew exactly what it would be. She and I had discussed the fact that we have several of the same bird “statues” that we decorate with. Years ago I had made two small bird quilts to use in my spring decorating so I decided to make another one of these for my dear friend.
I grabbed a fabric that was already on my cutting table from another project to use for the background…..
Within 30 minutes I had it put together and ready to start quilting. I love the fact that it doesn’t look like much at this stage…..
…..but once you start adding the quilting lines it just comes to life……
It was a great start to my birthday!!
That afternoon we met our kids at a Korean BBQ restaurant in Atlanta and had a fun two hours cooking meat and eating, eating, eating!!
While we were out, we also stopped by Tandy Leather and I purchased two pieces that I can use to trying out the “Quilting on Leather” technique that I learned at the Houston show last November……
The day ended with a Dairy Queen Blizzard…..
A PERFECT DAY!!!!!
