::Bird Lover Gifts::
We spent another lovely weekend on Whidbey Island thanks to our friend Carole loaning us her cabin in June. She’s a bird lover. Last year as a thank you I made her this birdie gift.
Carole’s English and my delightful bloggie friend Katy sent me some Liberty of London fabrics with birds. Carole identified the fabric immediately. Perfect for pillows.
I love the Carolina Chambray and the linen went perfectly to frame the wee bird. This triple stitch around is becoming a favorite.
and the back.
Thanks for the fabric Katy. I saved a bit, but now wish for a bird for my Flock Quilt if you can spare another that looks the same. I’d love to do the same for my own.

Oh the pillow you created is so lovely… the Liberty of London fabric is beautiful. A very thoughtful gift.
That is beautiful! I love the colors and the linen in there too. I am sure your friend will love it!
Beautiful – and that bird fabric is so fantastic!!
oh wow – that bird looks unbelievably happy with himself, doesn’t he?! God, I love that fabric. I need to try and get some in a different colour too, you never know when it will be come in handy 😉
(as for another bird – I’ll snip one out and pop it in the mail today along with your magazine)
I love that Joel Dewberry. Those towels are fantastic.
Gorgeous pillows! I really like the size and shape of these pillows, too. I’ll have to make some for my bed/couch
Absolutely stunning!
Love that blue! It just makes the whole thing POP! What a great gift! I’d love to be the recipient of something like that. I think that’s why I love making my quilts and giving them as gifts- because it’s so much fun to receive!
Your pillow is beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful works with us. I hope to be able to make beautiful things like you someday.
