THE BLUES BY A HAIR--

I did it--
got the last of the blue projects done today-
just by the end of the wire --as we get a new color tomorrow!!!
Here is the bird block in progress--

I know alot of you thought that my monthly birds are paper pieced--
they are not--
I start with a picture--

of some sorts and then draw lines on it to make it square and then start cutting and sewing--
and yes--lots of false moves and lots of redo's--but how is a gal gonna learn without making a few mistakes here and there like this one--

this is the middle piece and when I actually sewed it together--the back of the bird did not come down the tail feathers right--so lots of unpicking and re figuring--but look what I got in the end--

a lovely blue jay--with a giggle or two with the the sewing fabrics for his tummy!!!
and here is the strip block to go with it--

so now July's color is done--
and here is
all the birds with their strip blocks so far--

I have 8 birds so far--I got carried away in Jan with the teal color and make 2 birds in that color group--soooo--

And I got the wool block for this month done--

Now this is not totally finished--I am going shopping for a couple buttons to add to this one--
I want a spider button to hang off the cats tail and a couple candy corn buttons--pretty sure I have seen them somewheres!!!

And here is what I got done on the Christmas project on my Sunday sewing--

the camper is pretty much done--just needs the candles in the windows stitched and the wreath on the door--but still lots of embroidery to do--

So what is on the schedule for tomorrow????
you will have to wait and see!!!!
Got lots of time on my hands for the next couple weeks cause--

this is Frannie's daughter taking her to the airport--
and she is now in Canada visiting her son for the next 2 weeks!!!
