I downloaded my friend Lynne Tyler's Liberated Bird Tutorial (Which can be found here) Lynne blogs at The Patchery Menagerie (which can be found here). She is also a member of the Secret Society of Barn Builders with me.
So.....I downloaded and saved the tutorial for the birds. When I went to look for it, I had no idea where I put it. (Really, Lynne? That is not the funny part.)
After several 10 minute segments and a few curse words, I found it. But it wouldn't open with my word processor. I got gibberish. (No, Lynne. That is not the funny part either.) I finally got it to open in a PDF.
Do a test block, my inner voice kept saying. Luckily I listened to it. Normally I would not have.
Test block. Pretty easy, however, I did have to re-read several things. Well, I READ it after I glossed over the words and just looked at the pictures. So read it.....just don't glance at the photos of the birds.
All of a sudden I was finished. Poor bird.......now, Lynne, THAT is funny!
I ended up with an off balance, peg-legged pirate bird.
But his beak looks fabulous!
Do take a look at Lynne's latest bird quilt....Amazing.
Her legs look way better than my peg leg guy.
