Birds of a Feather--5 Done

Gosh those blocks are wonderful! Your fabric selections are lovely. Which Judy N. pattern are you making? I seem to "collect" them (as well as Karen Stone patterns) but I haven't made one of her's yet. I love college football season!

I just looked up the pattern. It would be a good class project. We can't quite give up the hair thing with our kids, can we? I have to literally bite my tongue to not nag 24 yo dd about her hair. Silly really....she just pulls it straight back in a very short ponytail. Not the best look for her...easy, yes, but flattering ? no! But I do try very very hard to keep my mouth shut. And am successful MOST of the time.

Those are beautiful, Joan!

Those are so pretty, Joan! I wish I liked to appliqué. I'm going to have to do a tiny bit of machine appliqué very soon, though, since our 4-month-old DGD needs a Christmas stocking. It should sort of coordinate with the ones I made for her brothers a few years back, so that's where the appliqué comes in.

Ok, I'm reading way too late again. I just read that as: "yes now beaks would be lovely, Joan." and it made perfect sense because birds have beaks and would look odd without them.

And now I'm off-----------To sleep, perchance to dream of batik beaks and "jet propelled" sparrows. Debra in VA See my quilts at

I like those Joan........ really pretty!

Absolutely beautiful! Applique is my favorite. Bev in TX

rofl, nice one, Debra. i have a bird with a beak made out of organza ribbon. i just folded it over a few times it was dense enough. two last folds were on the diagonal to one side making the beak, inserted that in the right place when i backed the bird with interfacing in readiness to applique to a background. works a treat with his lovely 3D yellow beak. hmmm, were his wings and/or body done in batiks tho, hmmmm. hope you had a lovely sleep. :) jeanne
