One Done, Three to Go

Completed all the applique on one bird, hoping this would inspire me to stitch up a storm.  My strategy isn't working.  Inspiration eludes me.

I often have a love-hate relationship with my projects.  Love 'em at the beginning, love 'em at the end...but somewhere in the middle I wonder "WHAT was I thinking?"  The tips of these pine needles are next to impossible, and I'm going blind trying to do this during the darkest month of the year. 

I get my best results sitting near a bright, sunny window.  So I either need quit my job (and quilt by the light of day) or find a really good task light.  Since I'm fond of regular paychecks, I better go with the task light!  :)
