I attended Skyla's baby shower today and presented her with this quilt. I hope her baby enjoys the funky birds. Of course, the quilt didn't turn out the way I really envisioned it (http://applecyder.wordpress.com/2008/02/25/three-little-birds-quilt/), but I reminded myself that I am a novice quilter and need to keep it simple.

It is nice to be crafting again. Andrew has been a great sport because I decided to turn our breakfast nook into a sewing/crafting corner. Now onto my new found LOVE, knitting. Ew, I am addicted now. I love, love, love knitting and wish I had all the free time in the world.

I love how you foster crafty Shannon whenever you get the chance! The quilt is adorable (love the birds!) and I'm so happy you love knitting!
I think your version is so sweet. I love the light blue and pink together with the brown. It makes me so happy that the quilt that I made for my sister's baby inspired you! Thanks for linking. And happy quilting....
