7th Block Done!

Even with Christmas around the corner, I managed to find the time to finish my block.  I loved working on this block!  It went surprisingly fast and  (trust me) not difficult at all!

The bird's feet and beak are pretty tiny so I decided to use Ultra-Suede for those pieces.  After they were stitched in place, I thought they could use a bit more definition so I outlined them with a brown Micron permanent marker.  It also helps to hide the stitches!


Cheers,
