So, here it is Sunday...starting a new project. Well new, may not be correct. I have had this partially worked project pinned to my design wall...well, since the wall went up. Let's not stop to think how long that has been, scary!
But first, I did get the bird project done. And it is residing in it's place of honor in a new home. The exact home that I did not plan for it to be in.

I was really liking this project. Each project that I finish, I learn more about applique. You are not seeing this at an angle, the tree side is 4" longer. I just could not even off the bottom. It was an enhancement that was a surprise when it happened.

The other exciting thing that I am learning....is my new sewing machine. I have had a long arm machine for the past eight years. While, I love working with the APQS Millie..the back will no longer allow me to reach for the time it takes to start and finish a large quilt. But, large projects is not something that I am into anymore. So, I upgraded..for me, I purchased an APQS George. George is a sit down machine. Takes the pressure of standing for long periods of time. So now, it is back to practice, practice, practice. I learn new things each time I use it. So far, I am loving it!

So, the next project is getting started. Don't know how long this will take, because I may have to take a short break in the middle to do some work for my daughter. But, until that time, I will work diligently on it!
