A Daily Bird and Quilt Inspiration

There is quilt inspiration everywhere if you have the idea to look for it.

While we were in Nova Scotia i saw this incredible design.  It was in the town of Millbrook just north of Halifax as we were heading back to the city.  The Mi'kmaq Museum had just opened the week before we arrived.

A great find in the museum was this spectacular quilt.  The children of the Reservation were asked to draw pictures of their lives and the summer games held each year.

Their pictures were made into a quilt!

Some pictures were really insightful and artful in themselves.

And there was this huge Indian outside.  That is Frank standing beside him looking teeny tiny!

Looking up, I loved the use of fabric, probably canvas.

The birds wold have a lovely time cavorting in that sunny atrium.



The Daily Bird is so up to date, you would not believe it is me doing this.

This Dove flew in just today.  Well, last night actually.  In the middle of the night he comes whooshing in the window.

I see why he came, it seems he needs some sort of surgery to correct his gay leg.  It is a serious problem as it looks like it has fallen off the poor guy.  I wonder how that could have happened.

I asked him if he had been in a fight or something, he vehemently stated he was a Dove of Peace.  Hmmmm.
