Nature Made House by Nicole D

Here is my entry. Birds on a tree in their “nature made house”.

Since I know it’s not safe for birds in the wild to use the strings I figured scraps and thread would be perfect for this!

Who will get to use this house? by Jacomina

My challenge was to pull this together while traveling between two continents. My daughter received a scrap bag of samples from an industrial designer and between the sample books of wool for suits (@ $60-200/yard!!) and fancy dress shirts of the finest cotton ever, I pulled out these scraps and used them as they came. I folded the chiffon samples roughly into heart shapes for the courting birds.
An upholstery sample simulates a nest hole in the tree.

The back is cut from a table cloth. The design is called "Swiss Chalet", and with cockerels and chickens, it complements the "house" and "birds" theme. The Quilting of hearts is barely visible on the picture of the back.

It has just a zigzag raw edge finish. At its widest, it is 18 by 15 inches

Because my daughter called this the most depressing quilt I have ever made, I glued on a small green scrap, the hope for spring.

"Who will get to use this house?"
The courting couples or the laser focused birds whose silhouettes you see in the sky?

Lovebirds by Nancy W

I made this using my new embroidery machine, a Christmas present from my dad. He has always been supportive and calls sewing my sanity saver! The design is called "Lovebirds" by Embroidery Library. 

My husband and I are newlyweds(since June 2023) so added our names. It was a Garden themed wedding and even though it hailed, it was still our beautiful day. The pillow front is changeable so I look forward to more ideas to decorate our nest!

Woody's House by Carol P

“Woody’s House” is my submission.  It’s inspired by the many Pileated woodpeckers that make their homes near our home in the Pisgah National Forest in NC.

This 10” x 10” art quilt started with an online photo by Margaret Poethig, Arlington, VA.  and incorporates the idea of famous childhood homes.

This is Woody Woodpecker’s bird house.

Fabric, beads and a closure sewing notion were used along a rigid batt.

Bird Nest Quilt by Teri D

Bird Nest Quilt

I tried out a lot of new things for this quilt. I didn’t want to make a traditional bird house. I pictured it to be a closeup of the bird house looking into the hole. 

I did improv piecing for the front of the birdhouse. 

I used the circle cutter (#ad) for the first time to make the hole. Then I did a facing instead of binding. 

I need to work on making my corners a little more square! I really had fun on this little 10 inch quilt!
