It's For the Birds Blog Hop

*
Many Thanks to  Mary, our feathered leader
and Madame Samm our fearless coordinator!
This has been yet another fun hop and spring arrived here just in time.
This Hop must have been the kick in the pants it needed!
*
With so much on the go these days I don't know how I managed to get my project completed
ahead of time! I enjoy paper piecing and have found it my go to option for quite a few projects 
with deadlines.
This little fellow is strictly 
"For The Birds"!
*
*
This pillow cover has a zipper back and at the moment is perched on our bed,
just to remind us that spring was eminent, eventually.
*
*
Fly on over to the rest of the "hoppers" to see what 
ruffles their feathers!

DOCTOR.WHO.ALONG

*
*
Whims and Fancies is hosting this fun SAL and the first block is the 
TARDIS!
*
My oldest has just discovered this long running program and is stoked.
I was perusing around this evening and low and behold look at what I came across,
I couldn't believe it.
*

*
Dr.Who, K-9, Romana, the Daleks and Davros.
This is going to be an interesting adventure in paper piecing that's for sure.
*
HAPPY STITCHING  :)

Remember When I Was...

*
?
Some of you gave some great guesses as to why I was dancing 
but
 Kate hit the nail on the head!
*
It's all because of this:

Mill House Inn is fin!
*
*
Yes, indeed.
*
*
Over 5 years of taunting me, finished!
*
*
It was one of those quilts that I just kept stalling through the entire process.
I couldn't take it anymore and last week had had enough.
I loaded up my bobbin with Aurifil for the very first time and quilted.
I love Aurifil thread, my machine loves Aurifil thread.
This is one happy camper 
(even though I secretly hate camping but with 4 kids...you know how it is)
*
*
A toss in the wash and this bad girl is going on our bed!
*

*
HAPPY STITCHING  :)

Remember Tippi Hedren ?

*
Isn't she gorgeous?
*
My day is lucky May 13th!
*
Keep your eye on the sky,
or at the very least watch your reader,
it might be safer (if you know what I mean)!

Ho Hum Tweedle Dum

*
*
This was yesterday, Bullet patiently waiting for spring.
 No, that's not an icicle hanging from her lip, she's
getting a little older and this end leaks every once in a while!
(Better than the other end!!)
*
HOWEVER, 
today is a different story and scene!
*
This is the same doorway that was void of snow less than 12 hours ago!
How's that for accumulation? Note,
no pup sitting, watching the world today!
She's snoring away at the moment.
*
HOWEVER,
*
*
I am pleased to report that progress is being made!
WOOHOO!!!
This quilt is not leaving my machine until it is fin.
Maybe this afternoon?
*
HOWEVER,
*
*
This needs to be dealt with (ugh)...
I found it under a pile of fabric along with my near complete PIFs!
