gone to the birds!


Ngaire's been at it again! Busy, busy............................


Ngaire wanted me to quilt the background to look like sky & water....I hope I pulled it off.

This wall hanging was in a New Zealand Quilter magazine issue #79 called 'Stitchbirds' or the Maori name Hihi. Stitchbird is a member of the honey eater family, like two New Zealand honey eater birds the Tui & Bellbird, they feed on a mixture of nectar, fruit & insects.

I have a couple of other customer quilts finished, but I can't show you them just yet. Here is a sneaky peak of one I am working on now..............

I hope your week is off to a great start, it was a l~ o~ n~ g weekend here, Friday was teacher only day, then today was Labour day.
