You can find the post I did for the Wicked Hop here and it has more pics of this quilt...I was trying to make it spooky with 13 ravens and all the Nevermore and The Birds vibe...believe it or not, my son still thought it was fine to use on his bed...no fear, that guy!
Can't wait to see Madam Samm's version as she's been teasing me with hints for months!
So, this guy/gal above ended up in our woodstove as he was looking for nesting sites recently...good thing the hubby has bird wrangling skills...thought the pic might be appropriate for the hop...
Thanks to Madam Samm and Mary for hosting/cheering our big group of bird watchers through this hop!
Today I chose to go in a completely different direction and I used a drawing of Charley Harper's for inspiration...and added a bit of Krislovesfabric styling to come up with this wallhanging.
I love the way it turned out and have hung it in my sewing room to enjoy...
This guy is my fave so I put him at the top of the pile...
This guy is a "bluebird of happiness"...
I used colonial knots for the eyeballs and have decided I may enjoy making that knot more than the french knots I have made in the past.
Thanks, as always to our host and cheerleader this round Madam Samm and Mary!! We love you both for adding organization and fun to this community of show and tell.
Please visit all these other blogs in the first day of the hop today...

ReplyDeleteOf course your Wicked bird quilt was/IS outstanding! Then, you added a "bird in the hand"... to add a bit more height to the bar. Finally, the bar was again lifted with "Fly". I love how you interpreted the birds; outstanding!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love your quilt...it really made me smile to see your bird faces! Thanks for being on the hop!
ReplyDeleteThat wall hanging is fabulous and sew deserving of a top spot! I remember your wicked quilt very well. No wonder your son loves it. I do too.

really cute, love both of the bird quilts.
ReplyDeleteI love Charley Harper birds, too! I cut a magazine pic out of a quilt magazine that featured some and it's on my bucket list to make some. Thanks for a wonderful bit of eye candy today!
ReplyDeleteWhat unique ideas. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects! I was thinking of making something similar to your sons quilt for the hop (and for Halloween), but didn't get past sketching it. I love how yours turned out! Perhaps, I will have to revisit the idea soon.
ReplyDeleteI love the colourful birds in our wall hanging
ReplyDeleteKudos for making something the boy child likes, to hubby'a bird wrangling skills and to you for sharing such wonderful birds that you made. What skills to have on hand.
ReplyDeleteToodles,
Tricia
Super cute birds. I see fabric constantly and it reminds me of your quilt from the wicked blog hop. Such a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm a CH fan and they are lovely! Make me smile. Good deal! You added it to the CH flickr group. Everyone must see it.
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting caught up on day 1 o the hop - this is really cute - one of my favorites from the hop!
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love your CH birds! Congrats on being one of the chosen!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great wall hanging for your sewing room! You always have the most creative projects! I can hardly wait to see what you have created. I don't know exactly what your intent was, but it certainly is an incentive for me - not exactly a spring chicken to still try my wings and fly! Thanks for participating and being a great inspiration. I'm sure I'll see you in future hops. I'm sorry I'm late in getting to view your entry.
ReplyDeleteLove both your bird quilts. The latest one...is awesome. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! I love all of your bright and cheery birdies!
ReplyDeleteReally cute birds, the gray bird quilt is cool.
ReplyDeleteLove both the quilts--just curious, what size is Fly? Adorable!!
