Emily’s Red Bird Quilt and Design Wall Monday

Emily has already finished another fiber art quilt she is calling “Red Bird.”

It measures 12”X15”.

I love the beads she added for berries that you can see in this detail shot.

Design Wall Monday

Dana’s nine wonky blocks are waiting to be sewn together.

My rooster quilt on the left is folded/rolled up to make room for some blocks that I pulled out of storage. I started making a sampler quilt years ago and got sidetracked. Now I’m thinking maybe I should just finish each block separately making them into little fiber art wall hangings.

Maybe I’ll look at them for a while and see if any other inspiration strikes.

  6. Hello Julia,

    Emily's little cardinal picture is beautiful. The beads are a lovely touch - time consuming, but always worth it.

    Love from England,
