Bird # 1

In 2009 I purchased a set of bird patterns and fabric monthly [ BOM]. They have sat in my workroom going nowhere, so last week I decided it was time to make them. This is the first one I have attempted. It has so many really tiny pieces, but I love it.. now to complete the other eleven plus the four woodland scenes through the seasons.

The pattern and kits were bought from Silverlinings.

That is incredible! Is it paper pieced? Do you know where I can get the pattern? Awesome!

I just saw the note that says you got it at silverlinings. I should read before I type!

This bird project is going to be lovely! I just love paper-piecing. It's tedious but once you get into the rhythm, it speeds right along. And the results are wonderful! Can't wait to see your other bird blocks as you complete them.

Beautiful! I love Silverlinings patterns. I just got the jaguar pattern and I'm in the process of picking out my fabrics.

I have that same set of BOM and seeing yours makes me want to check back to see what I have done. I know that i did the chickadee, but can't remember if I did any others. The woodland scenes scared me.
