We have feeders for the birds and I heard a commotion the other day. I overheard one bird saying to the others...."This place is alright, but I'm going up to Bird Song Farm and visit Al." Yup yup, then they all headed North.

I started out with traditional quilt making, but in the 15 years I've been doing it I've turned artsy fartsy as my husband would say.

Terri, that quilt is gorgeous! I do some quilting myself, so I really can imagine all the work involved! I'm working on a quilt for my bed. I'm doing a motif that looks like 3D cubes. I love it! I'm nearly done, but it took a very very long time since I hand-stitched the entire thing and only have time to quilt during summer vacation. In all, it took me 5 summers to complete.

That's so neat Camille! Funny how we share two hobbies! I think the name of the pattern you are working on is called Tumbling Blocks. It's considered quite challenging to make. And hand pieced! I definitely want to see a picture when it's done.

I agree, it's nice for people here to share hobbies! I'll take a picture of it when I go home for christmas. I looked up the term 'tumbling blocks' and that is exactly what I am making! I made the blocks quite big since this is my first full sized quilt, and also because one of the fabrics used has horses running on it. I still have to sew the quilt, batting and back together, which will be a long job.
I also don't have much time for quilting since I also do scrapbooking, drawing, and knit my own sweaters. Not enough time for everthing!! Not to mention taking care of the orchids!
