I made four small right facing birds on Saturday. I put them up on the design wall (above) and then counted them. There are 80. I texted Julie.
"Have you updated your lifetime total lately," she texted back?
Um, I've actually never counted, I texted back. I guess I should.
Several hours later I had a pretty good number. I texted Julie, My best count is 495. Then I thought for a. minute. So, OK. Tomorrow I'll make five birds any color I want so I can say I've made 500.
"Well, duh," Julie texted back, "Of course you will."
Thing is though, I was so damned tired, I went to bed early. 8:45 early.
I woke up at 7:30 on Sunday, feeling much better. I got up, took my Fosomax and then started making my lunches for the week. Then I had breakfast, cleaned up and went into the studio ready to make more birds.
It didn't take me long to choose fabrics for five birds. Except I didn't have any leg panels for the "standard" bird. So I made four of those.
The wing fabric on bird 496 was a scrap from the backing of the Defying Gravity quilt. The breast fabric was from the scrap bins. The beak was from the Pink Panther quilt.

Great colors in the birds. Glad your totals reach a milestone. Had terrible side effects from fosamax and stopped it.
Isn't it interesting that we can identify the quilts we made with our fabric scraps? It's great to have birds to remember them. Love all the birds!
I especially love the subtle but striking green bird and, of course, I LOVE the purple and green bird (that wing is fabulous).
So when will bird "500" aqppear?
