The bird quilt I made for my mother is finished. I sewed the binding while binge-watching older seasons of Bridgerton so I would be caught up when I watched the first episodes of season 4.
I have to take it out for beauty shots, but it's really cold out, so I don't know when that will happen. It will have to be soon because my Mom really wants her quilt, and quite frankly, I don't blame her.
I hate taking pictures of quilts in all the same places, and the snow makes it tricky. I'll have to figure out something.
In the meantime I have gathered photos of each of the birds and am in the process of writing the story of the quilt, and of each bird in it.
A reminder for those of you who are new: if you want to make your own birds (they are so much fun) you can get my tutorial here, and ONLY HERE, at my Etsy shop.
I'm so happy to see this. My Mom and I took your class together (July 2014) at Quilted Threads in Henniker; such a precious memory for me. My Mom died a year ago in December. (Oh, how I miss that shop!)

I never have done anything yet with my blocks from that class, or Mom's (I have hers now too). This post has inspired me that it is high time. Thank you for the reminder!
Your work is exceptional!
Is there a local indoor spot where you could take some beauty shots (weather is not great here either for outdoor shots). Maybe a florist or garden center?
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy quilt! Your mom is going to luv it!
