There is a morning every fall when the sewing room is colder than the rest of the house, and the quilter who has been happily working in short sleeves since May pulls the long ones out of the drawer. The songbirds noticed the same morning. Long Sleeve Tee Aviary is where the circle went when the room got cold: the same birds you know from the summer tees, now in long sleeves, plus a row of distressed baseball caps for the hair situation that quilting produces.
Snipsy Wren is here, still standing on the good scissors. Chaos Finch, Curlene Spoolworth, Ziggy Bobbin, Velma Nightwing, Ruckus Jay, Puffin Bea, Frizzle Mae, Lady Plumeadora, Peaches Plume, Noodle Beakman and Pip Patchlet fill out the branch, each one a quilter you have sat beside at retreat. Every one of them wears her quilt hair the way the shirt says it: proudly, a legacy of late nights and stubborn seams, mirror optional. The caps are for the days the mirror wins.
Pull the long sleeves out of the drawer and pick the bird who is most obviously you. We print it the moment you order, and the cap can ride along.
