Little Birdies....

December brought the last of the Birdie Stitcheries that I have just loved doing this year....



These have been free from Little Miss Shabby (and they are still available - just go to the Birdie Stitches tab at the top of her blog page)


I think it will be a perfect quilt for a spare bed.. especially for when little grandiegirls come visiting... so many pretty things to look for.....

I hope you are enjoying the Christmas Cheer ...... thanks Shez for this one...

If you were around in 1919 and came upon the following poster 




  
I mean, 
seriously
 
 
Wouldn't you just keep drinking?

Love the colors you used, really fun piece.
Congratulations on the baby go win, you will have fun. I got the apple core, just need to get used to doing curves but I wanted to make a runner with it. Like the new rick rack, that is on my list for future dies.

I love the fabric you chose to surround your stitcheries. It is so bright and cheerful and your birdies are delightful. This has been a a really fun BOM to do. Just wish mine were all done. Nola

Your birdies are just so cute and the quilt will be just beautiful.
That poster is certainly a reason to drink. I think they got it wrong. They should have said 'If you keep drinking we WILL kiss your lips!!!' Scary lot! LOL!

Allie said...

Fiona that quilt is fabulous, I love it to pieces! The squares fit it perfectly - the colors are wonderful! I do think the grandies will love it!

And oh that picture...that would make me take up drinking for sure, lol!! How funny!!!
