My Mom Wants

 

My 91-year old Mom has asked me to make her a bird quilt. Who am I to say no? Her timing was perfect. I have just finished the Big Red flimsy. So I dug out my bird bits bin and found a lot of extra birds I had made and threw the up on the design wall. But then my brain kicked in. My students love making birds based on people they know. I would have to make birds based on family members for my Mom's quilt.

So here is the first one, it has a dinosaur on it, so CLEARLY it is to commemorate my granddaughter. And I gave this bird long legs because she is going to be TALL!

I have been thinking about how I would make birds for each of my siblings, my niece and nephew and of course, Mom's boyfriend.

Stay tuned!

PS, if you want to make birds, and lemme tell ya, you really do, you can get my tutorial here, at my Etsy shop. It's an instant download so you can get started right away, and it's a great way to use up scraps.
