More Color Added

I'm making progress on this quilt. I've been adding more color to the girl and other than a few tweaks here and there, I'm about done with her. She hasn't whispered her name to me yet. Not sure if she is going to.

Next I'll concentrate on kitty. Kitty hasn't told me his name either. He's actually looking a little bluer than I wanted. I guess that's what happens when you apply gray tones over yellow.

A presentable bird

It was quite good fun to do this little seagull. I made the stitches much closer together than my first attempt (see previous post) and because of that I needed to work with a magnifying glass to get the stitches into the right place. He's 1 1/4" from tail to beak and 1/2" high, not including legs and I stuffed a little cotton under the wing to give him a little more dimension. He's now on Nokomis Beach on my holiday block!

Son Still Sick

My DS is still sick with the flu.  His temp goes down with the Motrin, up in the afternoon and evening.  He is taking Tamiflu, but it is only the second day.  It has been a long weekend of Trick or Treat Street and an ill child.  My DH has been super wonderful taking care of him while I am doing school things.  Well, no sewing for me today; hopefully no one else will come down with this flu and the week will be kind and easy.  Will leave you with the last pictures from the quilt show:

Until tomorrow, Happy Quilting!
