I worked on some of the Bullseye blocks for the Block Lotto this month. This was a new to me technique, but kind of fun to create.
I also made good progress on a mini quilt for the ALQS10. I have been a participant in this swap for a number of years now and absolutely love the way Kate runs it. There is still time to join in if you are interested. This year our mini quilt is only 10" square. You can submit up to two quilts. I have received the nicest quilts in return over the years.
I promised photos of our growing baby cockatiel. It is still very vulture-ish looking, but improving as more and more feathers appear. It is now starting to eat seeds on its own and the parents are encouraging fledging. Dad is the only one still feeding it as mom has moved on to better things. The baby loves being held and is starting to chirp a bit.
Last week.....
This week...... starting to venture out on its own.
We had a wonderful weekend of celebrating all of the fathers in the family but I have no photos to share of it. We were way to busy having fun together.
......but......we enjoyed our first BLTs of the year with our first fresh tomato from the garden. This week the peaches are ripening. Although smaller than normal with the lack of water, they make up for it in quantity. I know what my week ahead has in store for me.
I'll be back when the canning is done.
