a new bird in time for spring

March 14, 2011

DSC_0002
I made a springtime bird last night. It is now up in my shop. I am most likely going to be teaching a fabric bird-making workshop at The Button Box quilt shop here in Wellesley on Saturday, April 30, from 10am-4pm. These are the birds that we will make.  If you live nearby I hope you'll join us!  You can call the shop now and reserve a spot.

The birthday party was lovely. Roxanne will officially be a seven-year-old tomorrow.  This year she read a 1,330 page graphic novel, joined the Daisy Girl Scouts, began piano lessons, wrote a research paper, acted in three plays, and became a big sister once again.  It's been a big year.

    Beautiful bird! Congratulations to your daughter: six is pretty cool, but seven is so-o-o much better.

    Dang! Wellesley is a beautiful town and just about 3,000 miles too far away for me… what a CUTE bird.
