little red bird

I saw this kit in the Keepsake Quilting catalog.  It was $99 bucks.  Too much.  But then they put it on sale for $79 and I'm thinking I might could do that.  Then I got to looking at the kit and to start with the size was just way too big plus it had elements on it that I would leave off.  So I decided mainly what I liked about it was the branches and the bird.  So I hunted for a nice sky background and cut strips for branches and drew my own bird.

I'm going to send it off for fancy quilting.  He'll get a button eye when he gets back from the quilter.  I have a black button just the right size and I'll add a dot of white fingernail polish to it.
