It's my day!
Mary's the mama bird for this hop...she's kept
us all from falling out of the nest and on track.
Madame Samm's got some great giveaways going on
over at Sew We Quilt, so don't miss going there
everyday to check out her top choices and giveaways.
During the Wicked blog hop last October, Kris at
Kris Loves Fabric made a really cool quilt with black birds on it.
I loved it and rushed right out to find the fabric she used
for the background. It took a little searching, but I managed
to find it and have been holding it my stash for just the right project.
(That "other lady" went looking for the fabric, too,
but I'm sure I found it first...not that I'm competitive.)
This was the right project....
The lines on the fabric were perfect for machine quilting and
I added some hand quilted stitches for some additional barbed wire.
The fabric on the back has feathers...loved it, too!
The fabric on the back has feathers...loved it, too!
Poor little mouse!
I have a giveaway, too!
I found these cute little measuring spoons at a store in Utah
and HAD to have them because they had birds on them.
Perfect for this hop, aren't they!
I'll throw in a Stonehenge fat quarter, too.

I could really use those measuring spoons for Mother's Day, mine fell apart in the dishwasher.
Happy Mommy's Day.
