Last post I had three blocks for Maggie Pearl all sewn up, I've since cut another 15 sets, only two more to cut tomorrow.
Having always been impressed by the great organisational skills of quiltdivajulie I decided to follow her example!! Saves time by clipping the block pieces together and avoids the odd strip or two disappearing onto the floor - thank you Julie.
I mentioned a feathered visitor in my post title - we have these gorgeous birds below visiting our trees outside the lounge and my bedroom windows to open the long seed pods of the China Doll trees, it's a delight to both see and hear the parrots twittering away together in small groups.
You know that I enjoy taking photos of the flowers in my garden, two nights ago I decided to try taking a couple at night - I was pleasantly surprised at the result.

A very brief post I know, my shoulder is still a problem but I'm booked for an ultrasound guided cortisone shot in a few days time, the first one wasn't carried out using ultrasound and may not have quite hit the spot, better luck this time hopefully.
Until next time - take care and enjoy playing with fabrics!

Lovely to see your quilt blocks, and your visitors. Both very colourful.
Such beautiful Maggie Pearl strip sets--they match that colorful bird visiting you;))) Hope your shoulder woes are solved with this next appointment, Maureen. Hugs, Julierose
Oh, the colors in those clipped strip sets - delicious!! And to have parrots as pretty as that one in your yard - what a treat! The most color we have is our nesting bluebirds, the cardinals, and the red-breasted finches. (later in the year we'll have goldfinches but not yet). Best wishes for that shoulder injection!
That is going to be a pretty Maggie Pearl.
I can't even imagine having such colorful birds outside my window.
The night shots of the flowers did turn out nice. It gives the colors a whole different appearance without light shining on them.
The Daylily photo is both moody and mysterious. Great shot. your color choices for Maggie Pearl will make a vibrant, lively quilt. I hope the cortisone shot is successful and brings you some relief.

Maggie Pearl - glorious! Parrot outside window - spectacular! Flowers at night --mysterious! Shoulder - best wishes!
Your colors for Maggie Pearl echo the vibrant hues you see in your environment every day. We're waiting for some brightness to cheer our views as spring makes its way ever so slowly in our hemisphere. Hope this next cortisone shot is more helpful for you.
