Bird in the Berry Tree

Hi -
Here is the third and final challenge quilt of this year.  It is for my guild, The Brownstone Quilter's show which will be this fall 11-11-11.

The challenge rules were this:

Circle was the theme and needed to be represented

You needed to use the challenge fabric, i used it for the branches

You needed to represent 11 somehow in the quilt

The quilt could not exceed 22 (2x 11) on any side.

I have 11 of each of the berry colors, which are also circles.

I quilted circles.

There is that sparrow again - I really do promise to tell the story soon.

Nothing too flashing on the back of this one.

Okay, I have a new man in my life.  But it's okay, my husband bought him for me.  I have a thing for vacuums.  It's true, there, I said it.

They say the first step is acknowledging that you have a problem.  Mine comes in the form of balls of brown dog fur.  The solution; my new man.

I'm in love.  I call him Dyson, isn't that dreamy?

As I've gotten older and softer, I find that I'm way more picky about undergarments than I used to be.  I purchased some wonderful new undies and the tag said it all.  

Thank you Warner - seriously, for the underwear and the tag.  I love when life hands you what you need and makes you laugh out loud at the same time.  (Kohl's, and don't forget your coupon.)
