Q is for Quilts, November 4, 2015

ABC Wednesday, Wild Bird Wednesday, and Wednesday Waters

ABC Wednesday
Q is for Quilt - a coverlet for a bed, made of two layers of fabric with some soft substance between them and stitched in patterns to prevent the filling from shifting. Many quilts are embellished by piecing (sewing together small colored pieces of fabric), applique, and embroidery.

American Crow, Corvus brachyrhynchos, Lee County, Mississippi, USA, October 25, 2015

Crows are common birds in many parts of the world. They may be tamed and kept as pets if they are captured when they are still very young.


Crows are omnivorous, eating insects, nuts, seeds, fruit, vegetables, and meat.

  5. The annual quilt festival in Houston has quilts that are valued at thousands of dollars. What the quilters can accomplish with fabric is truly amazing. I have many quilts made by my mother and aunts and by my husband's mother and aunts. They may not be works of art but they are works of heart. I treasure them.

  12. Nice shot of the crow - I suspect it would have been interesting to see how it opened the acorn.
