Two quilts are being worked on. This is a finished block of the quilt which is being machine pieced. This is one of three completed blocks with 17 more to go. It’s a Shabby Fabrics pattern, Cherish. The block was tweaked as I have less points.

In order to get near-perfect star inner points, I resorted to foundation paper piecing. So much less stress.
A cool thing happened to Mr. Bliss this week. A sparrow landed on his shoulder. We have a batch of baby birds which are learning to fly so it is assumed this was a baby. Did the bird like the blue striped shirt or does it know who puts out the bird seed.

An AQS Quilt Show is coming to Grands Rapid, Michigan in a few days. Looking forward to attending.
Happy Sewing!

It seems flowers are the theme at your blog today! Such pretty fabrics in your Cherish block. The appliqué is coming along beautifully. Enjoy your stitching today. I think that little bird knows where the bird seed comes from!
How wonderful that the little sparrow visited you husband's shoulder....and that you got a photo! The Cherish block is beautiful, as is your colorful appliqued border.
Great projects! How great you were able to get the pic of the sparrow on your husband's shoulder!
The applique is so cheerful!
Your star block is such a pretty one! I love the large and small floral prints in it. And gorgeous applique, too! We also feed the birds at our house - what fun to have one land on your DH's shoulder!
squee! the sparrow. We protect wild birds who have babies around our house and porch.
Your quilting is so so so pretty, Love the pattern and colors

That's a pretty blick and lovely applique. So nice that the baby sparrow came to say hello.
The fabrics in your Cherish block are so pretty. It's amazing the bird landed on your husband' shoulder and ever more so that you were able to get a photo.
