Birdie Stitches and Super Josh

June Birdie Stitches is done and only 3 months behind.  Not bad.  I may just finish this quilt after all!  Terry had modified the June block and shared her idea on her blog.  While I liked the original June block, I left it looked out of place in the grand scheme of things if you were to lay out the blocks in month order.  If it was in the center of the quilt, I think it would have worked.  I'm kicking the idea around of still making the original June block but using it on the back.

ANY-way.  I liked Terry's change and I followed her lead.

Onto Super Josh.  My cousin's little boy is turning 3 next Saturday and she asked me if I would make him a cape.  Well, OF COURSE!  Punk is my model and now I need to make HER one.  My very talented brother took the original Superman logo and substituted the "S" for a "J".  Now it's SUPER JOSH!  Yes, yes.  I KNOW the logo on the cape is supposed to be yellow with a black outline but I didn't like it!  It looked so boring.  So I used the colors from the logo on Superman's chest instead.  Much better.

IGNORE THE MESS!

Again, IGNORE THE MESS!

Ellyn?  Do you see your chickens?!  LOL!!

I found this tutorial online and I'm glad I had Amelia model Josh's.  It's a little snug for her in the neck.  So I'll have to adjust when I make her "pink and purple with flowers and Super Amelia written out" cape.

I'm very excited to give Josh his cape.  I hope he loves it!

Enjoy your day!
