Towel Swap revealed

I've been informed at least three people have received their towels for the Towel Swap.  I was responsible for May and here is what I sent to my eleven swap partners:
The birds were starch method applique using templar for the template. I added a glass bead for the eye.  Then I added a band of birdie fabric from Feathered friends by Wendy Slotboom for In The Beginning fabrics.
 Hope everyone likes them. Now I can set back and wait for one to arrive each of the next ten months!!

Cute cute!! TWEET! Love it. Perfect for May. I have plans to make towels to match the 12 months of the year as a gift for my ceramics teacher for her birthday. I need to get going on that project!
