Did you know that the library is a great source of information
as well as inspiration?
Well, I did...but I didn't...
I'd never thought to look in the craft section before
and looky here at what I found:
Material Obsession by Kathy Doughty and Sarah Fielke
so good!
Quilts in the Sun by Kaffe Fassett
Oh my!
I had no idea this would inspire me as much as it did!
Total must read!
Lastly,
Last-Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson
Took this book out because it was pretty.
I had no idea I would actually find so many do-able
and desirable projects inside.
I had to try her bird ornament
and I was really pleased with the outcome...
Giving Julie from djaj-o-blog the credit for inspiring me to
put a bird in my "cage"
this book prompted me to get'r done!
Voila!
Une petit oiseau dans mon cage a oiseau...
um...yeah... that's my francais... :)
So a trip to the library has started me on my Christmas List...
Yeah, I know I can borrow them for free
but now I want' em too!

great resources! hey thanks for grabbing the button :)
Love the bird Kelly - and isn't the library great for crafty stuff. Mine even let me request a book then ordered it (Heather Ross's Weekend Sewing book) and then loaned it to me - brand new!
Woo Hoo ! It's just ***GREAT*** !
Now I definitively WANT a bird cage...
I'm such a sucker for anything with a bird on it... Very cute. and yup, those are some fun books!
Yay! Yay! Yay! I love those books. "Last-Minute" is totally worth owning. You will want to consult it again and again, even if it's just for the pictures. "Material Obsession" is on my wish list!
The bird in the cage is so cute! At first I thought I preferred how the cage looked before you painted it white, but the final product is wonderful!
