Project Quilting Time: 15:1 Bird house

January 13, 2024

Because I did a lot from my stash last year, and patterns, and even my scrap pile I decided to do the same again this year. I made a plan to finish UFO's and sew what I could from what I had. Most were given to charities and other outreach organizations in need. It made me feel that my skills in quilting were not wasted.

So here we go again............

P.Q. 15.1 hosted by Kim over at Persimon Dreams

and prompt creator Trish

we are ready to set sail into the new year.

First up: Bird House

This one is called "Birds on the Berm"

40" x 49"

stash scrappy fabrics, straight line quilting domestic

Pattern "Birdsong" by SKW using mini curve ruler

adapted size for crib

A couple of years ago we put in a berm and some birdhouses in our backyard. This has been endless source of amusement to us. Especially the birds swooping down into the plants and bathing with the moisture on the sedum.

The bird patterns are a bit tricky but they magically come together to make such a cute bird. They have 3 d beaks even though you can't really see that from here.

I used variegated metallic fabric that looked a bit feathery.
