Bird Houses and Feeders FPP: House #6 Etsy pattern

 Hi, paper piecing friend!

  I have released another bird house in my new backyard series: Bird House #6! Only one more house to go, (and one more feeder). This is a hexagon-house-style birdhouse that sits on a post, featuring a lil bird inside! This pattern also comes with the post that the birdhouse sits on. The lower post block includes a flower which can be made as a daisy, or a coneflower.  And it is on sale right now in my shop (link below)...

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


 And if you didn't know, these bird houses and feeders come with a color code, and a guide to how much fabric you would need! 

Here are this month’s 3 fun facts…
1.  Here is one of my early sketches of this bird feeders series. I designed it all myself and always start with pencil in hand. The oriole feeder pattern is next up, and then the squirrel in August.

2. Any scrap that is around 1.5 inches, I cut to a 1.5" square and collect them in this little drawer. I will always be ready for any little patchwork just for fun; I especially like fussy-cut little pictures on them.

3. 
Here are a few retro throwbacks that I have around my studio: cassette tapes, viewfinders, and a lite-brite, heehee.

That’s all for today!

psst! Be on the look out for big sales I am running in early July! (July 1st is the day I opened my shop 4 years ago!) Then of course there's our Independence Day in the US...

Have a great week! ðŸ˜Š

FPP Bird Houses and Feeders series: Feeder#3!

Image
 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?)...
