My flock of birds is growing

Hi everyone, 

I needed to do some sewing today. 

You know......get away to my sewing machine to relieve stress! 

Yep! It was one of those days! 

Thank God for sewing!

I continued to work on my Black birds quilt designed by Lorna of https://sewfreshquilts.blogspot.com/p/welcome.html?m=1

I have half the birds done. 

It's getting there. 

I find these birds are so cute! 

I'll keep plugging away at them!!
 

Free motion quilting and a workshop!

Hi everyone, 

I'm still trying to finish quilting my hexagon star quilt. I quilted all the white part, all the borders, and now I'm quilting the stars. I have about 1/3 of the stars quilted. I've spent about 25 hours quilting it already. It is a big quilt and there's a lot of quilting to do. I'm loving it though. I'm so glad I'm keeping this one for myself. It will be beautiful when it is all done. 

I also attended a workshop and trunk show last week.

Lorna from Sew Fresh Quilts, came to our guild and gave an amazing trunk show. 

Her quilts are so fun, and beautifully made.

I bought 6 of her patterns. 

I just couldn't resist. Haha!

The following day, I took a workshop with her. 

We had a choice of 6 patterns to make, and I chose the black birds quilt. 

I made 8 blocks during the workshop. 

They are so adorable. Lorna was very helpful with all the students. She's a great teacher and I would recommend you taking a workshop with her if you get the chance. 

I've made a few more bird blocks since the workshop, but I'm trying to finish quilting my hexagon star quilt. So most of my time has been devoted to that. 

I hope all the Canadians had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. 

I know I did!!
