Elizabeth's Studios has a whole line of beautiful bird fabrics and it is just stunning.
I took my one-man crew out to take photos of my projects.
He's just the best crew I've ever had!
The panels of birds and birdhouses had gorgeous colors and designs,
so I fussy cut them and created a lap quilt with a scalloped border.
I love those birds and birdhouses, plus the beautiful quilting by Quilted Works.
I was in a fussy cutting kind of mood, so I picked out some of my favorite birdhouses from
the fabric and created a sweet little pillow that would be perfect for someone I love.
This swing usually has a Monkey Boy on it, but they weren't around so it displayed my pillow.
iSewing has been en-lightening since I got my Inspired LED light...I can see so much better!
Before I got lit up...
After I saw the light...
It's like a Broadway show around here!
It's been a while since I've had a giveaway, so I picked these up on my shopping trip
to Quilted Works and thought someone out there might just like to win them.
Don't they both just scream "SPRING!"

Most of the picture links seemed to be broken on my computer but I did see the quilt and the pillow. Very cute. We're just waiting for the birds to come back here. The Canada geese have been back for a week or two so hopefully the song birds won't be too far behind.
ReplyDeleteI love both your projects they are so fresh and clean looking. (I hope you know what I mean) Thanks for the chance in your giveaway and sharing your photo of your crew of 1. I think I need to get my crew a uniform as well. LOL

ReplyDeletesenstrings(at)yahoo(dot)com
Ohhhh...how I love that quiltie with the scalloped border on it. That one looks like it would almost be do-able for me, as I never got the hang of cutting the outside edges with scallops! Fabulous pillow too. These Birdie prints are just the cutest!
ReplyDeleteWe have bird houses and feeders all over the yard.....last count 45 houses, so it's obvious how much I love your pretty quilt. It's so much fun watching the different birds come to feed, and how excited we get when we spot a new variety. Love the fact that you have such a willing stage hand, as do I. . I've had mine for 60 years now, 63 if you count the years before marriage. We are blessed! lv2bquilting2@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteYour quilt really shows off these beautiful birds. I love the scalloped border! It's such a sweet design addition.

You are always so generous and cheery!

ReplyDeleteI do love your quilt but that Pillow speaks to me!!! However, I am missing pictures of the Monkey Boys.

Those little boys do crack me up and I'm sure the Monkey boys keep you as entertained as much as my little grandpeeps do.
