Another Birdfeeder block: Feeder #4!

Hi, paper piecing friend!
I have released another bird feeder in my new backyard series: Bird Feeder #4!  It is a thistle seed tube feeder, featuring a pair of gold finches!



You may be familiar with my National Park patterns or my many Bird blocks… well right now I am releasing a full scene of backyard birdhouses and feeders through the year. By the way, each pattern comes with a winter version:

Here are this month’s 3 fun facts…

1. Here is one way that my New York State pattern was made into a lovely pillow! The state is a whole lot more green than city, if you didn’t know! ;)

2. I also love Fiesta dinnerware, and one day I made a vintage teacup into a pin cushion, with a FPP rainbow (because I just love colors)!

3. Here is a peek at some of my preliminary drawings of this birdhouses and feeders series. (I am an artist and I actually designed and drew my patterns by hand!) :)

That’s all for today!

Psst! Today I am putting up a new listing in my shop: the little mourning dove block that goes with this backyard bird houses and feeders series of mine. You can get that block for free if you comment here or email me to request the dove block via email.

Have a great week! 😊

P.s. *Remember:I have a free download, upon request, of a file of my complete houses and feeders planner. It shows all the upcoming blocks, and lets you plan out which ones you will collect and arrange. Feel free to email me or comment here to request this file for free via email.

FPP Bird Houses and Feeders series: Feeder#3!

 Hi, paper piecing friend!    I have released another bird feeder in my new backyard series: Bird Feeder #3 , featuring two chickadees! You may be familiar with my Bird blocks, or my National Park patterns… right now I am releasing a full backyard birdhouses and feeders scene through the year.  It all includes Winter versions as well! See? Here are this month’s 3 fun facts….. 1 . Sometimes, people who make my landscapes will ask me how they might go about quilting on these patterns. Here in the pics are a couple ways I described what I think of when I am quilting on my landscapes. The pink lines and the yellow lines are just showing where I notice the main elements of the picture and at the very least, I  will stitch along or near those elements. After those, if I want to add more quilting based on the size, or just based on my preference for quilting, I would just highlight any other elements like detail in the water or rock. 2 . I love my “Bitty Bins” (...

Bird Houses and Feeders FPP series: more upper blocks!

Image
Hi, paper piecing friend! After releasing all the bird houses and feeders patterns, I have been working on completing the scene, and have released the upper blocks of the scene. ( I have a file, upon request, that shows the complete houses and feeders  options for a whole backyard scene.)  This month I will be starting some of the outer tree borders next... If you're following the plan of the backyard scene, these are: "Left Tree Leaves," "Upper Branch 1 & 2," "Flying Bird," and "Upper Right Branch." Here they are (along the top) within all the feeders and critters that are now finished! And psst, I recently made a couple of bundles which save money when downloading several of the upper and lower blocks for the scene. Now here are this month’s 3 fun facts… 1.   Still slowly working on my next National Parks pattern. Here is a sneak peek of where I'm at with my Shenandoah design... (which I think could pass as a Cuyahoga Falls NP too?)...
