The Little Bird Quilt

 


This is a little applique piece I've been working on  in between unpacking (and yes I'm still sorting). It all started with the large hummingbird in the lower right corner. it was from a class thru Making Zen. Ann Smith taught it but as always I did my own version. She gave a few extra pattern for those who paid for that series of Making Zen classes.

I used one her patterns for the wren but the owl is my own pattern and I used lace down the chest.

The paper pattern pinned to the left is another from Ann but I'll be changing it so it looks like a blue jay (which is my FAVORITE bird).

The last section is for either a cardinal or yellow gold finch. Depends on my Fabrics.

I've also been tatting small hearts. I plan on making up bags of tatting and maybe some fabrics to sell at esty. The tatting is great for crazy quilting and scrap booking like junk journals.

More Halloween items up and on SALE!






Here are just some of the things I put up at ebay at SALE prices. I used to sell this type of decorations for over $40 but now I need the room so the starting is $15 - $25. 

I put a few things at Facebook Marketplace for the first time. Since I seldom use FB anymore and have never used Marketplace I stupidly thought I was clicking on a link to a message when instead it was a link to a virus. Thank goodness my old virus software worked to block it.

Etsy has a few things, too. I'll be putting up more of of patterns and holiday items on sale for the big Etsy Thanksgiving sales.
