Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird

pretty bird

So here’s a funny little fact – I’m terrified of birds. I’m not sure what i think they will do to me, but when i see one coming near i get sweating and feel like crying all at once. Just thinking about the big bird houses you walk through at zoos makes my stomach lurch.  The funny part is that i love looking at birds. I think they’re gorgeous.  I love them on fabric, on clothes, in pictures, i special ordered my computer to have birds on it and i even used to go to the annual bird watch with the Audubon society (we used binoculars, so we were never that close). So that’s why Les made these birds for me.

Along with the orange one at the top,  they make three little wall hangings for my hallway! She embroidered them on the new 830 but the designs can be used on other machines too. The coolest part is that the applique is built into the designs! The machine stops and tells you when to add the fabric, where to add it, and what size it should be! They’ll be hanging out in the classroom for a bit if you’d like to see them!
