for the birds

Megan Byrne — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 00:21:26 GMT

This was a first try at piecing a quilt as well as applique. It's from the book Bloom Creek Quilts. I was living in far north Newfoundland and Labrador and the winter was very cold and snowy and being inside sewing was the best thing. All the material was sent in by post which kind of hooked me on internet shopping!

This lovely nursery rhyme wall quilt came from an excellent book from Quiltmania called Special Children 2011. Only downside to the pattern is the metric measuring. Coming from France all the measurements although written in english are metric! All my rulers are feet and inches. Had to get some new rulers. Fun and unexpected patterns can be found in this book.
