Another UFO bites the dust!
Not quilted yet, it has to wait it's turn. When Ambrosina was a baby (born in 1980) my Grandmother gave me a box of scraps and in it was the pattern for these little appliqued birds. I made the blocks long ago but never got the quilt put together. Can you spot the block that didn't get rotated right? That's my humility block, by the time I spotted it it was sewn on all four sides and I didn't want to rip it out. I love this pattern, but I doubt if I will ever do it again although I enjoy applique there are so many other quilts I want to do. But I am one project closer to finishing my UFOs and I pulled another bin off the shelf for tomorrow.

In the top of the bin there is an unfinished stuffed dinosaur, what is below that I don't know but it will be fun to find out!

Tomorrow is the last day of school. The excitement is at a fever pitch. Today Sammy's class is going to the zoo and Ambrosina is going with them. She was excited too, but Sammy was over the moon. I am looking forward to them being home, and as Ambrosina says we have Grandma, Leon's mother, for back up when we need a break. She loves the noise too. So on my next to the last quiet day for the summer I will do what I usually do: Drink my coffee and do my hand work.
