Time to look at this WIP

 

This one quilt top has been out of sight and out of mind for a long time.

 I think it needs some finishing up soon. I should just plan to finish it as a small. I like the pattern by Sue daily and I used everything but the kitchen sink. That was the idea. Just fabric that I had leftover over the years.

Now I Know My ABC’s

These are my new alpha-clips. I am loving them. 

The blue chicken patterns are found on the Youtube channel: Blue Rooster Farm. She is very generous and share it for free. She also has patterns with acorns and strawberries.

You have to watch the video for the Blue Rooster Pattern  all the way to about 1 hour into it to get the QRCode to download the page. 

I bought these "self adhesive clips tapestry" on Amazon. They are about 1 inch square. I did print my chicken pattern at 70% and they fit perfetly.

Before I cut the paper squares, I covered the whole sheet of paper with "contact paper", to prevent pins and needles to scratch the printed paper.

Family dinner time

My window bird feeder has been busy in April. 

But now I took it down until Fall. 

I have kept the other feeder (seen in the back).

I am following directions to prevent spreading of bird flu. I do wash and clean the feeders every week; but these feeders where the birds can get inside could spread diseases.
