Deja Vu

Since my first set of birds were lost in the mail and I loved them so much, I made Marilyn from the Traveling Threads quilting bee (aka Spiced Coffee) a new set this weekend.

For Marilyn (Spiced Coffee)


She sent slightly different fabric, so they turned out a little different, but I think I might like them even better. I had even meant for this little bird to end up on top of the inner square but made a mistake the last time so I couldn't do it.

I'm hoping to get to some more crafting soon, but the beginning of the semester has been a bit hectic. I'm co-teaching my first undergraduate course and there's a lot of prep work, but I did have a great weekend and even went to the New York State Festival of Balloons, which was pretty darn cool! I have more pictures on flickr if you want to check them out.
