With a finished project! The second corduroy scrap quilt-60" x 42", backed with polar fleece is done!
I wrapped the back around to the front and sewed it down; this is the way my Grandmother always bound her quilts and I liked the connection!
The polar fleece was given to me, the front are scraps that I have had in a 'someday' pile for at least 15 years so it is a nice way to see the fabric put to good use!
Visit from mama sandhill crane.....
...and baby-they are both the same size but he hasn't gotten his red head yet. It has been wonderful to have them visit us several times a day asking for bread!
The bottle brush tree is in full bloom-isn't is pretty?! I am thrilled with how it is growing!
Love the colors and textures of the quilt...the bird is still adorable...and the tree is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the backing fabric on that quilt.
ReplyDeleteIs your bottle brush in a pot? Some species grow quite large - ours would be a small tree if WM didn't keep pruning it severely!
I had heard about bottle brush plants, but had never known what one looked like. Nice, bright flowers. How tall will it get?
