That darn parrot.......................


Well, all my birds are on, and now I simply need to make, and sew on, 59 (FIFTY NINE) circles of various sizes. Ahem. I actually love circles, and I guess it's a good thing, huh? I had the worst time with choosing fabrics for my parrot. I did him over completely four times, and finally settled on this combination. I'm not sure I am completely satisfied, but he is certainly staying at this point.............and here I thought he'd be the easiest of all.........go figure.

I'm always over eager to trim down the block to it's final size, because I love getting the raw edges off, and the block always seems so much fuller. I will NOT do it until all dots are on, a lesson I learned the hard way.



I just ordered 14 more yards of Philip Jacobs fabric........everytime I say I don't need anymore, one of you evil geniuses shows your favorite, and (of course) it's one I don't have, and I love it, and you can guess the rest. It's quitting time in my sewing room for this Sunday. Hope you had a good one.  Michele B.
