Time Flies...

Wow.  Where has the time gone?  I kept intending to do another post, and somehow time just kept flowing by.

Working on the 2014 charity quilt has spurred me into writing again.  I am definitely behind on this year's quilt.  I have to have it finished about a month from now, and until yesterday, I had not yet started sewing the top of the quilt together.  It is definitely time to kick it into high gear.

This year, I chose birds as the theme.  With a gift card to JoAnn's, I purchased a Accu-Quilt bird template.  The template made quick work of cutting out the birds. I've been working on them for the past two weeks and finally finished embroidering their little legs on Saturday.  Here is the flock of birds:

Yesterday, I started sewing the birds into strips:

Along the way, I had a little help:

Charlie helped me reconsider my layout

Now, to start sewing the strips to go in between these larger strips.
