Made a brief detour as hexies …

Finally became birds …

And now have formed a swirling flock …

 

Next up: ironing the birds down and then appliqueing them. And then figuring out what to do for the backing. And on and on and on …

Still working on the chairs:

Almost done with The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson. Enjoyed the first 250 pages very much, and then sort of lost interest. I’m a character-centered reader, but I like a little plot with my characters, and there wasn’t enough plot in this story to satisfy me.
