Finish It Up Friday...Pretty Bird, Pillow.
Now that the gift giving has happen I can share a finish! This one was a gift to my cousin...continuing our saga of gift giving jokes. I went with our previous bird theme and made him a pretty parakeet pillow. Isn't the back lovely? I found a paper pieced pattern for a bird and then did some altering to make it look like our pet now gone, Fred the parakeet. I didn't want Derek to forget what he looked like ;) Hehe! I think my favorite part is the way he "looks" at you. I probably should have made it bigger and had a bigger form, but now he curves around a bit. So if you place him on the couch next to you...he can look at you :D I gave it to Derek on Christmas, which we spent at my aunt's new home. It was so neat to get and see her new house :) So happy for her! Don't these folks look like trouble? Unfortunately, my cousin wasn't feeling well and had to leave as soon as gifts were opened. I hung out with this little dude quit
