Christmas Birds





Many thanks to Lindsey who posted the blog with the bird pattern! I have made up 8 of them (in semi-matching pairs) and have another 19 or so cut out of ancient scraps inherited from my great-grandmother who has given up quilting. After looking at the pictures again, I realized mine are overstuffed.

I got my shirt back from my grandmother with the collar and cuffs done, along with all the buttonholes. I need to put the sleeves in and sew the buttons on before Sunday so I can have a new shirt to wear. Oh, and I guess I need to add the bias binding for the drawstring casing. I have 5 more birds that need red thread, so I will have to dash those off and then finish my shirt!
