Another wee thing


Over the weekend I made a few of these little fellows which might end up being my ornament series for this year.  For those of you who don't know every year I make about twenty ornaments which are then used as either a 'bow' on a parcel or are given as little gifts in and of themselves.  The design is by Kathy Shaw and I'm testing it for publication in the spring issue of the 'Crazy Quilt Quarterly' magazine. 







Another anonymous quote..."Nothing annoys me more than when someone expects you to be okay with something that they wouldn't be okay with if you did it"

  5. This is such a pretty bird. It would make a fabulous ornament or as you say as part of the bedecking of a gift. Pretty embroidery.

  12. Love the bird! I may swipe your idea. I too like to wrap each gift the same way, have the same name tags and add a token as well if I get the time. I like to present things like this with cards or have it be a part of the card design.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
