"Birds On The Wing"

Here they look adrift on a bank of snow in my backyard.

It is not easy for me to go out and take good photos right now.

Nor is it easy to do everyday things.

My vision is healing much more slowly than I had hoped after this surgery.

After the procedure on the first eye, I had a baby quilt pieced and quilted in two weeks.

This time is a different story.

          I had planned to have at least two projects with these beautiful fabrics for you.

I am sorry that did not happen but I here is my project.

My top is done and I am working on getting it quilted.

Healing is one day and one stitch at a time.

This quilt design is my own.

I was inspired by these

Beautiful Birds by Tracy Lizzote for Elizabeth's Studio

fabrics to design this quilt!

                             
            
I <3 this quilt in the making!

           This is the top to my new spring sofa quilt.

It is a new pattern that I have created for these fabrics.

I am calling this pattern "On The Wing".

I carefully cut and placed all the directional fabrics and will be posting about this on March 30th.

More details soon!

Here is a block for the backing that I made from scrap triangles and fabric.

I sewed this into the back of my quilt ...

I love the movement in this pattern so much that I will be making again
it in these solids as soon as I am able.

This new pattern is in the test stage of development and I hope to release it soon.

If you are interested in testing, please send me an email.

Thank you for stopping by today!

     Please be sure to fly into all the beautiful bird trees today

I love birds!
From the time when I was very young, my mother taught me to put  handfuls of seed out for the winter birds.
"Feed the birds and you will never go hungry" was what she always said to me.
It was something her grandmother said to her.
I have always loved watching and feeding the birds.
Cardinals are one of my favorites.
So you can imagine how thrilled I was when this
This Little Birdie Pincushion was made and sent to me by the one and only
Deonn Stott @ Quiltscapes
It is a treasure!
To make one of these adorable pincusions ...

Thank you, Deonn!

The fabric behind my beautiful Little Birdie Cardinal is a panel from ...

This fabric collection is

Sew We Quilt
I went digging through my stash!
Some time ago I saw this panel on a table at a quilt show and snapped it up with the thought that maybe I would want to make a wall hanging with it. I did not see any of the other Beautiful Birds fabrics at that time  or I would surely had bought them, too.
So I will be looking for other fabrics in this line for this hop to add to this panel.
I am sew excited to be joining in this hop and hope many of you will be joining us, too!
According to the hop requirements, you may choose other bird fabrics, as needed.
This hop will be ably cheered by the lovely
Lana @ It Seams To Be Sew
In the spirit of giving and paying it forward, I am offering a ... 

Giveaway!
The piece I bought had two panels.
Each panel measures about 22" square a good size for a small wall hanging or other project.
Instead of waiting to share the second panel  in a giveaway in the hop,
I am offering to send my extra panel to someone  who would like to use it in this hop!
So here are the rules of this special giveaway ...
(1)  Post a comment on the Blog Hop Announcement  and send Lana and email.
(2) Post a comment here on my blog on this post below telling me you are joining in the hop and that you would like to receive this panel and use it for the hop.
(3) Have fun!
I will send this panel anywhere in the world.
This Giveaway will be open for one week  and will close at Midnight on January 23rd EST.
The winner will be announced on Saturday, January 24th.
