The Woolen Needle

Dawn @ Linen Closet Designs has her block available for the Wooly Friend - Blackbird’s Bounty project available this week. It is called “Meet The Gatherer”!

This little blackbird has been gathering supplies for winter—a few sewing necessities to keep him busy in his cozy nest. Along the way, he found a handsome hat and couldn’t resist trying it on.
