My husband and I graduated from the same High School. We went to a multi year class reunion last night. I haven’t had a chance to see people we went to school outside of our class in years. There were people from all generations, sooo cool from 1943 to 2010. My name tag said I graduated from 1965 not 1984. We made jokes all night, you know, I was well preserved and cougar before it was popular etc. Lots of reminiscing, had good food and a good time.
I made 40 of these Modern Birds in the Air blocks in the spring and mailed them off for a block swap. I received my blocks yesterday. I sewed them up today in to a quilt top. I have blocks from Australia, Scotland, Canada and many US states. Each is signed by the maker. I hope to meet some of the Michigan quilters at the Grand Rapids AQS show. I am quilting a few for customers then I want to get mine quilted. I am thinking my day job is gonna get really busy since we are short staffed and long arming for others , except for friends, and such will really slow down.

You really made short work of the Birds in the Air blocks! Good job!

From the beginning on my wall they looked right in this setting for me, I tried all of them for sure before coming back to this one!

Beautiful! I’m sure you’re the first to get these sewn together. I’m still thinking about layout.

I played around with several ideas and this one appealed the most to me. Now to find time to long arm it! Love block exchanges

Thanks, it was a rainy slow Sunday and those blocks were just waiting on the design wall….I had to get them together. It will be a while before it’s quilted !
