This was the fifth and last budgie-come-parrot I made.
Yet again I add a few more pieces to the pattern to
give it a more colourful look.
I put the quilt top together with some spacers between
each bird.
It was tricky getting those in-between perch pieces right!
They look pretty cute with their felt eyes, which I
blanket stitched on after it was quilted.
I like having a unique quilt hanging on my walls,
especially one with an Australian flavour to it!
"Aviary" finishes at 12" by 31"
I've set myself a bit of a deadline with my crafting
other projects.....
knitting a jumper,
 |
| Don't worry, it's much more advanced than this! |
hand quilting my Sugar Gum wall quilt and machine,
 |
| I'm waiting on Aurifil thread to arrive! |
quilting my 1974 Charm Star quilt.....
 |
| The next machine quilting task on the list |
because I'm heading overseas in July for a rather
special family event.
 |
| The string quilt may have to wait til August to be finished! |
But more on that soon!
Happy days!
