Birdie Stitches is finally finished. I waited all through last week to be able to take a decent photo but lack of sunshine (even lack of daylight) means this was the best I could do with the pics.
As a wee reminder, and because it doesn't show up too well on the main pic , here's a mosaic of each month's block.
I enjoyed the process of stitching these blocks by hand over the period of the year that the BOM was running. Somehow in that space of time the blocks took on a little history (the when and the where and the how of being stitched) that has been built into and will now always be part of the finished quilt. Now all that's left is to find a (rather large) wall space to hang it!
It's so lovely to look at a quilt in years to come and remember the different places and memories associated with it. The photos don't do justice to this absolutely stunning quilt! Jxo
