24 Jan Much better

I am much happier with this version.  The birds are not fighting with the background now. 

I have started the applique but I ran out of red thread.  So annoying!!  I really thought I had an extra spool of the right color, but, unfortunately, no.  I usually try to buy an extra spool or two when I know I’ll be using a certain color, but they don’t always have it available.  It is going to be a bad week to get thread too, as JoAnn had it on sale last week, so they are probably out of a lot of colors.

I have been looking forward to the meeting of the Brighton Modern Quilters tonight.  I hope the weather doesn’t get any worse.  It takes me about 35 minutes on the freeway to get there so if the weather is really bad, I may not go.  Keep your fingers crossed!
