There will be random thoughts about dyeing, marbling and quilting. Hopefully there will be some information that is new to people. Nature is my inspiration and because of that, I reserve the right to publish lots and lots of pictures of animals, birds, butterflies and plants!

DJ Quilt Almost Finished and a Few Birds for Your Viewing Pleasure!
Well, birds first! This is a Clapper Rail which is an infrequent visitor and very shy. He hid out awhile and then came back out.
This is an Eastern Phoebe, a frequent visitor to my daughter's back yard fence.
This is a Forster's Tern and there were a lot of them visiting down at Ft. Fisher.
This is a Kildeer which is a frequent visitor down here!
Another shot of the Clapper Rail.
This was my second audition. The first which is what I thought I would use was inserting a white piece before this darker piece but I just didn't like the look
Auditioning borders and this was the final decision.
It's all together except for the binding which I am in the process of sewing down now. I am very happy with sewing it in quarters despite the fact that this was a very difficult quilt to do this with because of stitching close to the edge. I made a few mistakes and it is a little wonky in places but overall the picture doesn't do it justice! I used a dark brown batik for the binding and hopefully, I will get it in the mail by the end of this week. This will be the last picture!
