Today I spotted a little birdie in my backyard. Take a look...
A friend of mine gave me a little crochet project. I haven't crocheted since I was a young girl. So I picked through the instructions, not quite getting it right. I remembered seeing this cute little birdie on another blog, Attic24, with a tutorial so I thought I should give it a try and practice a little crochet. Not bad with a very good tutorial. Try it here!
Mariner's Compass Update:
I finished putting the the last background pieces on the compasses and sewed all the blocks together to 'finish' the top. It now needs borders. My husband doesn't really know what he wants except a small black and white narrow border to represent the border you would see on a navigational chart. I think it needs another border that will tie all the colors together. Looks kinda plain on the cream background. Just say'n. What do you think?
Give away! Go on over to AbbeyLaneQuilts for a great give away. One of the prizes is the cutest Abbey bag. If you don't know what that is go on over and check it out!
Leaving tomorrow with my DH for a business trip to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. While he is working, I'm checking out several quilt shops in the area. Love doing this....I'll let you know what I find!
Thanks for the comment about Abbey Lane Quilts. What a cute carrot. I may just have to try one. Good Luck on the contest.
