Throwing scraps away makes me feel icky, so I've been looking for some fun little things to make with bits of my "left-overs". I know there are other little birdie ornament patterns out there--a lovely little one is in Last Minute Quilted Gifts, but I wanted mine to be more bluebirdish, which is to say, plumper. I did some sketching and some drafting and this little birdie is what I came up with. It would be great in holiday colors for a tree, but I was thinking of harvest time when I created it--thus the orange and brown. I'll get a little pattern together to share. I'm also thinking the birdie would be cute made of just two pieces--maybe linen or felt--easier to make, too. I'll get the pattern on a link soon.

Hi I am from your Sew Craft Blog Group!! Cute Fabric choices, I likes.
Ooh I like the pattern you drafted for your bird. He's quite lovely! :D
Hi,
just wondering if you could share your pattern. I would like to make a mobile for my baby's room, and I love your bird! I think it would be so sweet with a bunch of them hanging from a twig, or a grape vine wreath, maybe with nest added.
thanks so much.
