Bird Houses and Feeders FPP patterns series: Final birdhouse!

 Hi, paper piecing friend!

I have released another bird house in my new backyard series: the final house--Bird House #7! All that is left is the other scenery blocks (I have a file, upon request, that shows the complete houses and feeders options for a whole backyard scene.)  
House #7 is another house that hangs on a shepherd's hook. You may have noticed that each house became progressively more detailed, so this one is very interesting

(I always say that if you can sew a simple FPP, then you can sew a less simple one, because the process is the same. It just has more pieces.)

Each pattern in this series comes with a winter version:
              

And I recently released the little squirrel block that goes with this series/scene!

Now here are this month’s 3 fun facts…
1. I am a little behind, getting my pattern in to my shop "at the last second" of August, because we recently moved a kid into college! If you've been in that situation, then you know all the tasks, and the feelings!

2. I am also slowly working on my next National Parks pattern-- which have been put a bit on hold while I complete this series on a timeline this year. My next one is Shenandoah. All my patterns begin by being drawn by hand!

3. I am very proud to say that my Dad entered his first full quilt (first one that he did all on his own) into our State Fair. And he won first place in his category! His is the blue and brown one that is hanging, which is his own variation of Storm at Sea. Besides the fact it is gorgeous, he chose all the fabrics, he put it together without an actual pattern to guide him, he added sea turtles via embroidery, and he quilted it. (!)

That’s all for today!
My shop is where you'll find the squirrel block and the new House block (and all my other patterns!) https://www.etsy.com/shop/PaperPiecingByErin

Have a great week! ðŸ˜Š

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!

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?)...
