Christmas Birds 2017 Felt and Lavender

Christmas Birds 2017 
Felt and Lavender

Cardinal 1 (for Dh)


My dear friend, Heather, had given me more felt for my Christmas birds again this year when we visited her back in July.  I fill the birds with organic lavender and sometimes a little white fluff.  I had a great time making this year's birds!  It is so nice to allow myself time to sit and work on something for others.  I had hoped to give these as Christmas presents and did for Dd and Dh, but I am just mailing out the birds now.  Dh says I should say they are early Easter gifts instead of late Christmas gifts!!!  Thank you, Heather!

I sew in the year I made each bird somewhere on it; either on a wing, under a wing, or on its belly.

Repair:

I worked on this previous X-mas bird to improve it from a few years ago.  I like it better now.  I had given this Robin to Dh for Christmas, but I had used the wrong color thread and it didn't look very good, so I fixed it.
