Revisiting a quilt by Ruth Powers 04-08-18

If the robins haven't returned to your area yet, they are on their way.  Harbingers of Spring.   I know there are robins in Southern California, but not in my neighborhood.  Our returning bird is the mockingbird and they have been here for at least two months already.  
This gorgeous pieced quilt by Ruth Powers is currently at Back Porch Fabrics in Pacific Grove as part of the "Birds from the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection" exhibit that continues through April 30th.   

"Early Birds" Ruth Powers - Carbondale, KS  2005  49"W x 38"L
Machine pieced and free motion quilted on home machine.  
Cotton fabrics, commercial and hand-dyed.  

I have posted about it twice before.  Check out the following pages:

It must be Spring, the robins have arrived! I like Ruth's work very much...there is a freshness about it that's special. Thank you for sharing again.

In Ohio sometimes the robins never leave but we have big celebrations as the buzzards return to Hinckley!
