My friends who count the birds in their neighborhoods at Christmas report fewer flocks this year. I've noticed this too. The lack of birds in my yard is due to the lack of bird food in the usual spots. But perhaps there are colder climes where they are spending this winter. Canada has appeal.
However, in the digital drawing world I've been focused on birds in traditional applique.

These are extra birds---not using them next year.
I'm planning an applique source book including birds. I'll keep you posted.
I have had more birds in my area, a lot come from the north and winter here. Love the bird theme, look forward to seeing them.
ReplyDeleteI can’t wait to see the upcoming blocks. I always want to do your series, but have yet to actually do one. Maybe this year is the one. I do love birds. We can’t do birdseed due to proximity to the woods and rodents, but we feed suet. We’ve had lots of towhees, juncos, and other “little gray birds”!
ReplyDeleteI love birds and in my quilt sounds like it could be fun. I'll keep my eyes posted!
