Dana from The Old Red Barn Co. invited me to join a virtual quilting bee that started this month, it's called A Notion or Two. I have a button in my sidebar if you want to see what is going on there. I was both excited and nervous about doing it because the only quilts I have really made are simple patchwork blocks, nothing special. I decided it would be fun and it would challenge me, plus I have been wanting to make my girls new quilts, so maybe this will get me in quilt mode. So this is what I would call my first real quilt block, it is for Amy.
I love Denise Schmidt quilts, so I got the inspiration from her, I have her Quilts book, and I also was looking at her website.Amy asked us to do something non-traditional and wonky with an appliqued bird, I hope she likes it!
Off the quilting subject, do you ever have days when you think to yourself, I'm lookin' pretty sexy? Well, that was me today, and I felt like sharing. I played with my hair today and I think it ended up looking very romantic like :) I thought the picture above was kindof cool, between the flash, and my (dirty) antique mirror, it looks like a fairy just flew in front of me leaving a sparkling trail behind.
Profile shot. Pretty hot hair eh? Thanks I thought so too :)

I'm meeting the other Amy (Park city girl) in Midway next week, probably Tues. morning - interested? It could be a fun bloggy meet up for all of us!
OH and Amy from Commonplace (do you read her blog?) she made a button for all the blogging amys - it's so funny! if you are interested in being added to the list let me know and I'll get you her email.
Now that I have left you this big long comment - i realize I should have just emailed you.
Nice to meet you, by the way!
I think your block is very cute and great for thinking outside the box. I also love your self assured ability to know when you do look "sexy". You have a lovely face that honestly you could suit anything. From one quilter to another. oh and great music too!!
Your block rocks!!!
And your hair rocks too! Have I told you before how much you look like my sister-in-law? You guys could be twins!
Very hot hair!!
And I love the quilt block. great job.
