I recently shared some of these fabrics I picked up
in a destash.....
with my lovely friend Julie, in New Zealand.
In return she offered to make me a felt birdie!
But true to Julie's generous nature she sent two
birdies, a pear and a magazine!
The patterns can be found here, in case you want to
make your own!
I did manage to stitch this little decoration,
and have been working on my wonky stars!
for my "Oh Christmas Tree" quilt.
Happy sewing!

Julie's felt decorations are so pretty! And your wonky stars are looking great! How many do you need to make?
ReplyDeleteYou did very well out of the swap! Love the little birds (and your wonky stars).
ReplyDeleteAre you going to get the "Oh Christmas" top finished by Christmas?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to using my new fabrics.
Such beautiful felt work. It would be fun to learn one day. Loving your patchwork starts too - so colourful :)
ReplyDeleteThose ornaments are incredible! Love the wonky stars too.
ReplyDeleteThe ornaments are adorable! And so festive too. It looks like your wonky stars are providing you with a fun burst of color.
ReplyDeleteLove your wonky stars, Susan! They're the best, probably because of their wonkiness, and the bright colors. They'll make a fabulous quilt. What a thoughtful friend you have. Enjoy the ornaments. Since we don't put up a tree - because no one comes to see us - I just don't get into ornaments anymore.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great swap! Your stars are looking wonderful, such fun colours!
ReplyDeleteThe partridges and pear have flown to your home at the perfect time of year! Very generous of Julie, beautifully made too. Your stars will make a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to get those birds! Your wonky stars are great!
ReplyDeleteThe felt ornaments are wonderful! It's so lovely that you got two of those awesome birds! And I love your wonky stars - they'll make a fantastic quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love how you are always finding new and interesting things for us to enjoy--and I'm enjoying those sweet felt ornaments. Good for you for going forward on the stars--bit by bit!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I think you had better put the 'partridges' and the pear in a tree, and sing the 12 days of Christmas song. :)
ReplyDeletethat is a great swap........the birdies are so pretty..........
ReplyDeleteLook like a great swap all round.
ReplyDeleteLovely work on Marg Low's decoration.
And the star blocks look stunning!
Pretty stars and lovely birds from a sweet friend. Next to leaves, birds are another favorite theme of mine.
