I did NOT sew on the holiday boxes quilt. It is as I left it almost three weeks ago. I had a lovely Christmas, chatting with all members of my family, and FaceTiming with my son's family while we opened presents. I made myself my favorite dinner - steak, and I watched Bridgerton on Netflix. All of it. Yes. All 8 episodes.
Then the next day I watched those 8 episodes again. What can I say? I was tired. And it was good.
I did, however, do some work in the studio. Not only are these new birds, but I have decided to update my bird tutorial.
I wrote it 4-1/2 years ago and I've learned a few things. I realized it doesn't have the same look and feel of my newer tutorials and that many of the photographs were dark. I felt some of the instructions could be improved. I have also included suggestions from my students, and things I've learned from teaching the birds in my classes. I've added a couple more pictures of finished bird quilts, and I added a page of student birds. The original tutorial was 40 pages, and the revised version is 50 pages.
The big bits are done, and it's just some tedious formatting things I have to fix before it is ready. It's looking good, and I am very excited.
