Bird Quilt

I finished piecing one of my projects-in-waiting today. Grandma Betty K. had saved embroidered blocks of birds from her job as nursing home activity director. She had wanted to make them into a quilt, but never did. I struggled for quite a while on the design for the framing blocks. After letting it sit for several months, I took apart Plan A and decided on Plan B. It went from a bed-sized quilt to a throw. Now it is done, I actually like it, though birds wouldn't be part of my decor. The nursing home resident who did the embroidery passed away years ago. I like the idea of her handwork living on in a quilt.

The farmer's leg continues to improve. It is a good thing. Tomorrow will be his last IV antibiotic. I'm not sure how much longer he will have oral meds. Thursday I'm off to Mom's. Christmas will be here before we know it.
