Julie recently blogged about a project using the bird and heart blocks from earlier this year … and I learned that I had misspelled the name of the woman whose tutorial inspired the block. I corrected her names in the attribution and uploaded the new bird directions: Bird Block Directions – V2 There’s no change in the directions, just the name correction. In any event, if you happen to save the links to the patterns,...

Just sharing my tall birds quilt with everybody.  I used at least one block from everybody, and there is a label on the back that tells where they all came from.  I have a few blocks left, which I am already planning to use in a second quilt.  Thanks Sophie, for making this possible, and to everybody who sent these fun blocks to...

                            The first two photos above are pics of work in progress on the Lori Holt Row along, featuring a row of Sophie birds from a couple of months ago.

The April 2013 Birds segued perfectly with the project I was working on- a block swap oh-so-loosely based on the Bird Trap quilt in the Belger Arts Center collection.  The completed quilt has been boxed & shipped to QuiltFest in Jacksonville but I had to do some pre-show sharing.

Forgot to say, until reminded by Sophie’s mailing instructions for the geese, that my last-but-one set of birds arrived over the weekend, from Pat K.  Only one more to go and then I’ll have my full flock…  These blocks are wonderful, I’m really looking forward to doing something with them. Someday. In the fullness of time, lol.

This week I received birds from Angie, Erin, Laura and Rachel. Thanks Ladies!

My two birds left on Tuesday on their migration north to Kathleen.  Enjoy!

I put Gail and Kate’s birds in the Post Office on Friday. I tried to post this on Saturday, but the site was down? Many birds have landed here in NYC as well; I will tally and post tonight.

today.

I sent my blocks to Kate on the weekend. If all goes well you should see them in 2 weeks.

All packed up to go to Kathleen. I will bring it to the post office tomorrow. Congratulation to the winners. Wishing you all lots of fun. Christa in VA

My birds are on their way to Kate, Kathleen and Kim! Have fun with them.
