I have been MIA for a couple of months, not just on this forum, but in my quilting room, my DH has been diagnosed with throat cancer and we have a new normal in our lives, that has taken me out of my quilting circles. However, a couple of days ago, I loaded up my Freedom and decided to try out my newest CL Boards. This pattern flows and is fairly simple and open. The quilting using the Birdie boards on a larger than lap size quilt took about an hour and a half. Easy Peasy. But stepping it up, I decided to color my birds, leaving the quilt on the frame and using fabric markers. Two - Three blue birdies per day, per chemo/radiation treatment. By the time my sweet husband is done with his treatment (7 weeks), this quilt will be ready to "fly" off the frame. Thank you, Michael, for giving this caregiver, some inspiration and therapy to keep quilting every morning for the next 7 weeks!
