Birds in the Air

Birds in the Air is a very old traditional quilt block, dating from before the civil war. It is a symbol of flight or migration. That’s a concept I can definitely relate to, especially at this time of year. We’ve mapped out three major trips during this coming year. We’ll be taking a short channel cruise in the early spring, a trip to Utah in the summer, and a visit to Walt Disney World at Christmastime. There will probably also be several small day trips. We’ve talked about exploring Wales, and I want to see the cemetery in Lancashire where several of my ancestors were laid to rest. We keep trying to find ways to get to Italy or Norway, but so far it’s just not happening. It would be sad if we had to move back to the States without seeing the two places we most wanted to visit.
