Tessellating Birds Pattern

This is my "Forever Project."  
It's all done by hand with English Paper Piecing.

 At my last count, I have 166 birds sewn in place.


I like to use freezer paper for my foundations.  I can iron it onto the back of the fabric, and it stays put while I baste it in place.





I sew them into groups of 4.


Then sew those groups together.




Here's a picture of a mini quilt I made with my tessellating birds.



You can get the pattern from Craftsy or Etsy.

Row By Row Experience

The Store where I work is participating in the Row By Row Experience.  Click here to find out more.  The theme is "Sew A Season."  Since I live in Utah, we would naturally choose Winter.  

Here's our row, designed by me.  It's called "Snowflake Collection," and is done with English paper piecing, hand applique, and hand embroidery.  You can click on the picture to see a larger image.


There are shops in 34 states, plus Canada, that are participating.  You can find a list of participating shops on the link above.  

When you go into a participating shop, ask for their row pattern, and they will give you the pattern for FREE.  If you make a quilt using at least 8 of the Free Row By Row Patterns, you may win a prize.  Sounds like fun for traveling quilters!  I hope to collect some patterns, myself.  The dates for this are July 1 through September 2, 2014.

The only way to get these FREE patterns is if you go to the shop in person.  That's the rule, and we want to keep the rules.  However, after October 31, it may be available for purchase. 

Now available for purchase at Craftsy and Etsy.
