And then he decided it was lunch time.
Mrs. Goldfinch landed on the crossbar of my window but the picture didn't turn out good. Here she is eating some of the little pieces on the forsythia bush.
I have to start a new project. Here are about half of the fabrics that I am going to use. I'm using a simple pattern from an old quilt magazine, plain square and 4 patches that make a chain block. I'll show some progress tomorrow. So far I have just cut some strips and the larger squares.
I finished planting the rest of the perennials and some of the annuals yesterday. It is supposed to rain tonight so I need to finish planting the annuals today.
Gorgeous shots of the goldfinches! Can't wait to see what your are going to do with the fabric...
ReplyDeleteJust wondering... your day only has 24 hours, too, right?
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful blog. I truly enjoy all the photos of the quilts and gardens and wildlife!

Love those fabrics -- at first I thought the photo showed something pieced! And Mr. Goldfinch is a beautiful color, too. Mother Nature seems to know what she's doing.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing fabrics all laid out and ready to go. No matter what colors, really.
ReplyDeleteIt always makes me want to go buy something new.
Mrs. Goldfinch made me LOL with that petal dripping from her beak. You captured her in action.
ReplyDeleteYummy warm colors for your next project. Terracotta/rust colors are steeped in rich warmth.
Love Lyn's comment/question... "your day only has 24 hours, too, right?" I have said this before, when leaving a comment but will say it again, "you are my energizer bunny friend."

I can't wait to see what you do with those beautiful tans, browns, and rusts.
ReplyDeleteLovely colours!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your Goldfinches, I remembered we used to have those in New Zealand. I don't think there are any left now. I wonder why.
Your fabric palette is beautiful! We don't have colorful birds out here in California where I live. I love going to Wisconsin to visit my sister, where she has blue birds, gold finches, wood peckers and all sorts of pretty birds.
ReplyDeleteYou've got great bird photos!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying the birds here in Washington state. There are many different ones than the birds in California. Today we saw a Pileated Woodpecker! That was very cool!
And your fabrics are a great assortment of textures and prints and colors. They look so yummy together. I can't wait to see what you're going to do with them!
As Nicole mentioned in a comment above, the birds out here west of the Rockies are lots different than there in Illinois. I really miss seeing cardinals!
