I never thought I would look forward to Friday the 13th but I couldn't
wait for it to get here this week!!! Yes, it is my day to show y'all my projects using the beautiful fabric by Tracy Lizotte of
Elizabeth's Studios. This is another great Hop organized by
Madam Samm! Our wonderful Head Cheerleader is Lana from
It Seams To Be Sew who kept us under control and ready to go!!!!
I haven't participated in a Blog Hop in a long while but when I saw the fabric, I knew I had to join in because I had the perfect project in mind! I hurried off and ordered several pieces of the Beautiful Bird fabric and as soon as it arrived, I jumped right to it! I had been making totes using charm packs after watching Jenny from
Missouri Star Quilt Company on You Tube . Well, yes, this fabric wasn't a charm pack, but I could certainly make charms from it! I have adapted the pattern a bit, adding a magnetic snap, and using cotton webbing for straps but that is the fun of sewing, making it your own!(click on photos to enlarge!)

Front of bag. What better place to take a photo of birds than a tree? |
|
It was so much fun doing the straight line quilting on the bags. I used the coordinating leave fabric for the bottom of the bag as well as the lining. |
|
|
|
|
Then I had to make a couple more! I used the birdhouse blocks and Hoo's Tree fabric by Tracy Lizotte . I love her fabric and waiting for her new pattern in May! The later does have other animals but birds are included so I hope it is all right to use for this hop!

See the cute little owls! |
|
More owls and a finch!

|
|
|
After I finished the totes, I could not stop with bird fabric! I belong to the Bag of the Month club and my January and February bags are dedicated to birds...well, to owls anyway! I had so much fun picking out the fabric and making new bags! The January bag is a Companion Carpet bag designed by Mrs. H at
Sewing with Mrs. H. It had many new techniques for me but each was fun to learn.
|
This is the front...if you look closely you will see that there is a pocket trimmed with piping near the center of the bag. |
|
This is a side view of the gingham gusset. I like what it adds to the overall look of the bag! |
|
|
|
Next up was the February bag, The Hyacinth bag by Sara Lawson at
Sew Sweetness. Again this was a learning experience. I used some gorgeous fabric by Michael Miller.The flap covers card holders and a zipper pocket. There is also a large open section in the middle and a zippered pocket on the back.
|
The top portion fabric is called Flight in Black and the lower section fabric is Bridgetown in white. |
You would think I was finished but I decided to try one more new thing...a Dresden plate pincushion. I had never done a dresden plate so this was really fun! It is a really large pincushion but I really like it because I can get so many pins in it. While I was doing the pincushion I decided to finally make some "fancy" pins like
Madam Samm showed us! What fun!
|
I decided to center the blue jay and a few of his friends in the center of the pincushion! |
|
I made a smaller round pincushion just for the heck of it!!! Aren't they the cutest animals? |
If you have made it this far, I think you deserve a giveaway! For this hop, I am giving away a panel of the beautiful bird fabric and a package of "make your own labels"!
To win this all you have to do is make a comment telling me where you are visiting from and how your weather is! This winter has really been strange so this could be fun! Right now, it is hot, hot, hot here in FL! Mid 80's today! Be sure that I have a way to get in touch with you if your comment is chosen by the Random Number Generator. I will draw the winner Tuesday March 24th and email the winner.
ADDED LATE FRIDAY MORNING:
Oops, I see I forgot one tote and it is my very favorite one! This is from a pattern by Erin at
Dog Under My Desk and is called the Outta Time Tote! I used my very favorite owl material(and let me tell you I have loads of owl fabric!). I added piping to her pattern and I just love it! It has a red lining and a zip pocket on the interior also. Aren't those the cutest owls?
Don't forget to visit all the other folks who have made wonder things from bird fabric! Here is the list:

ReplyDeleteYou made so many wonderful projects. I noticed that you like to make bags while looking around your blog a bit. It was fun to see all of them. I live in Washington state and we have had a very mild winter. It is about 50 degrees with a few clouds hiding the sun today.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous bags you make!I love them all as well as the pincushions! I am from Greece and it is still raining here!AriadnefromGreece!

We almost reached 70 yesterday. Today is rainy. But going to get nice again next week...so ready for Spring!
ReplyDeleteIt is 37 degrees here in Indiana. We have had snow on the ground nearly all winter. Now it is beginning to melt, and we can finally see patches of grass. Our blue birds came back last week, so that is a sure sign of Spring around here. I can sit here at the computer and watch them just out the window. My husband and I love watching the birds. So thanks for your nice drawing!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you have been busy! I love all your totes. Thanks too for the giveaway and the chance to win one of those beautiful panels.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you are a busy bee...or should I say Busy "Bird". I'm envy all your nice bags because I'm just learning to make bags. They intimidate me, especially things like linings, zippers, pockets, buckles, snaps, etc...That's about everything except the outer shell...Ha!! I could use you for a tutor!! Do you have any you tube tutorials on bag making that you have used and recommend? I need lots of pictures and EVERY little step shown.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with ALL your lovely projects!

I am visiting from Eastern PA -- sunny, snow melting, light jacket weather/ 7 degrees C. sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteOOps, I forgot....I'm visiting from the Sunny South...north Alabama right along the Tennessee State Line. Today is a drizzly wet day with temps predicted to be in the lower 50's. Spring Jonquils and Daffodils are popping up, Tractor man has turned the garden for the first turning which allows any more freezes or cold weather to contract & expand the soil which means better soil for all those great Alabama Tomatoes. You haven't tasted a tomato until you've eaten a Beefsteak or Better Boy Tomato grown in our red clay soil (LOTS of compost). Delicious...I always post the FIRST Tomato of the summer so stay tuned around the 1st/2nd week of July.
ReplyDeleteGmama Jane
I did so enjoy your projects! How do you make those fancy pins? I am visiting from the Finger Lakes in Central NY. It is sunny and getting warmer. It may reach 47 degrees today. The snow may start melting. New birds are coming home!

Your bags and pincushions are absolutely delightful! The last pincushion reminds me of what my front porch looks like in the morning - no foxes, but lots of birds and a few squirrels gathered around the feeders. Thanks for sharing these delightful projects, and thanks for the chance to win this beautiful fabric! It's about 30 degrees here in Wisconsin. We're happy! It's so much better than it was last week.
ReplyDeleteWe live in eastern South Dakota, and it is really warm here. I love your pins:)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful bags. I love the bird prints. And those pins are so cute. Where did you find the cute animals? I have never made a Dresden plate but now I want to try one.
ReplyDeleteI am in cloudy Pennsylvania. They have been threatening us with rain all week, but nothing yet. Just lots of clouds.
ReplyDeleteHi. Great projects - wonderful totes. The birdhouse one is wonderful. The Hyacinth bag is gorgeous - well done. A week ago we had a good 6-8" of snow on the ground and today there are only piles left that were piled from snowblowers. We've had some 60 degree days and boy, does that melt snow quickly. Here is Iowa we are definitely looking forward to spring - and hearing the birds singing their songs - they, too, are ready for spring.
ReplyDeleteLove all your totes. So many patterns. I am visiting from Southern Ontario, where the snow is starting to melt. Hurray!
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from North Dakota, and after a few weeks of -25 to -30 temps, we have had absolutely gorgeous weather in the 50's and even 60's. It really helps to have a nice spring weather break, even though it will probably won't last, but I'm sure hoping. Loving all of your bags, thanks for the inspiration. cdahlgren at live dot com
ReplyDeleteHello from Ohio. It's finally looking like Spring might be near. The mounds pf snow are melting and today it's actually raining instead of snowing. :) I really like the bird prints.
ReplyDeleteI am visiting from Illinois and have watched the snow disappear this week with warmer temperatures. Tonight there has been a lot of fog with rain.

ReplyDeleteI know where to go if I need a bag! :-) What cute bags! Very creative use of fabrics. I am in California where it was 74 today and it is predicted to be hotter tomorrow. It was overcast in the afternoon but still very warm. Sure wish we could get some rain or snow in the Sierras. Water will be expensive this summer. K-
ReplyDeleteHello from eastern NC....today has been cloudy and in the 60's. After spending January and February in New England, about an hour from Boston, it is nice to be back in warmer NC. Your bags are so gorgeous...I love them!!
ReplyDeleteYour bag turned out beautiful! It is wet and cold here outside of Charlotte,NC. I am crazy about birds so this fabric is a favorite.

Shenandoah Valley of VA. Low 60s today and lots of 50s weather all next week....surely a welcome change from SNOW and low temps!
ReplyDeleteI am visiting from St Catarines Ontario Canada. We have had a very cold winter this year......not once above freezing the whole month of February. It is starting to warm up a bit and this morning was the first time I could see a patch of grass when I let my little dog out. Your projects are all lovely. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
ReplyDeleteLoving all of your projects! I have the book, "Backyard Bird Quilts" by Jodie Davis. I want to make a valance for my kitchen window using all of the birds that I see eating from our bird-feeder in the backyard. I live south of Pittsburgh, PA and we get lots of cardinals and chickadees. Me (and my cat) love them.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm lucky and get picked, my email is peterstankovich@comcast.net Thank you.
Deletenice set of bags with the fabric! very cute owl fabric
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Sunny, Eastern New Mexico. We have had lots of snow this year and back to back storms all of Feb. It is so nice to see sun and flowers bursting out. Love the bird fabric. We feed our birds and watch them at our table, a pair of cardinals, sparrows, red finches, jays, oriels , goldfinches, and cactus wren who sings to us every day. Beautiful music. Nice projects.
ReplyDeleteI'm Wildwood, Alberta. We are having some nice warm weather so the snow is melting quickly. I love it when the snow starts to melt but I sure wish we could just skip mud and go right to dry ground - sigh.
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from Zimbabwe, and the weather here is warm and sunny today.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the bird fabrics. I am from west Michigan. We are at that time of year where the weather can change drastically from one day to the next. A week ago temperatures were in the teens. Yesterday it was sunny and 58 degrees. Snow piles melted a lot! Today it is overcast and 41 degrees. That is okay as it would be disastrous if all the snow melted at once. We would probably match the flood of 2013.

I loved seeing everything - very creative and clever. Especially love the dresden plate cushion and the unique pins. WOW! factor all the way. Thanks for sharing such lovely things. I enjoyed my visit (a day late).
ReplyDeleteHi Sue! I am glad you are into sewing and posting again because, your energy is infectious 😄
ReplyDeleteYour favorite bag is my favorite too, because that fabric rocks! I am currently in Mill Valley, CA on vacation, but I live in Orange Park, FL where it is also steamy! In CA it is a pleasant 70ish
Thanks for the giveaway. I'm from n.e. Ohio, 40's, rainy, but the snow is finally melting.
ReplyDeleteYou are truly dedicated to sewing and fabric and I adore each and every bag and pincushion you have shared with this Tree Bird theme. Thank you sew very much for Tree Bird hopping. Creative Bird Bliss...
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am in Northern California and our weather is Beautiful Spring...however we are in our fourth year of serious Drought! Our fire season will be horrific this summer and our well will run dry like last year which both are more than scary.
All of your projects are are just lovely. Love the dresdan plate pincushion..
ReplyDeleteFabulous fabric. And such a fun blog hop, thank you for being a part of it. Love all the totes!
ReplyDeleteI'm up in Northern British Columbia, it is unseasonably warm here this winter too. Spring, aka Mud, came a couple months early. I'm hoping for lots of rain, to avoid more forest fires this summer. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour bags are all lovely! I hope you shared a link to how to make those pins, because I want to make some!! (I'm going to go back and look). I am visiting from the Yukon. We have had an amazingly warm winter. Today it is about -10 C and sunny. I should be outside. :)

ReplyDeleteGreetings from Green Country, Oklahoma. When I moved to Oklahoma I thought it was all flat and brown. The eastern part is called Green Country because, even though it can be hot and things can turn brown in the summer, we have so far had voluntary water rationing when needed and most people water yards and plants to keep things very green. Many plants do go dormant in the winter and we do have some greenery in the winter, too, but very little. Week before last we had snow and children were out of school. This week I was out without even a coat or sweater. If you don't like the weather in OK, stick around, it'll change - sometimes quickly and sometimes it takes a spell. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful projects - I adore them all. My husband loved birds. I have a book that he used to show the grands. It has pictures of birds and then they could push and button and hear the sound of the birdie. That made everyone grin. Thanks for the giveaway. Hope to see you in more hops, very soon.
ReplyDeleteI am from Southwest Missouri. Today I can believe spring is indeed here. 60 degrees and sunny.
ReplyDeleteI'm Visiting from Penticton, BC (Canada) and its juuust starting to get hot over here.

I'm in NW Ontario, and the weather has been gorgeously Spring-y! The snow is (finally) melting! :o)
ReplyDeleteI live in Conyers, Georgia. We are located 30 miles east of Atlanta. It has been a dreary, windy, rainy week. The temperature today was in the mid 60's. My grandson was disappointed because the soccer fields are too wet for play. The daffodils have been blooming for 2 weeks and the forsythia is budding.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Kentucky and today is the first day of warm and sunny weather.
ReplyDeleteOh your bags are just so "tweet"! Bag of the month club, huh? That sounds very interesting!
ReplyDeleteHello, I am visiting from Norway. We have lovely spring weather now! The first tiny little wild spring flowers have started to bloom. In the garden the crocus is blooming. A wonderful time! I love all your bags, and the bird panel.
ReplyDeleteI am in Mandeville, Louisiana. Your bags are beautiful. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great giveaway.

I love the bags and the bird fabric! Here in Sullivan County, NY, it's in the 40s but the wind is fierce.
ReplyDeleteI love your bags, all of them are so beautiful. You did such a lovely job on all of them, love your fancy pins in your pincushions. I am from Minnesota and it's was a beautiful weekend in the 60's and sunny. My sis saw her first robin yesterday, that means they will arrive here in about a week or two!
ReplyDeleteFrom St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada and we are having a snow storm. Not what we want this time of the year. Saw robin in garden a couple days ago so thought spring was on the way.
ReplyDeleteHowdy, from Dodge City, Kansas where the weather has been beautiful (this week). Warm and sunny with very little wind. WOW, you really rocked the bags. Every one is special in its own way. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and clever bags, I really love the woodland creature fabric! Great choices in contrast fabric too.
ReplyDeleteLovely totes and a beautiful use of the fabric panels!
ReplyDeleteAll of them are beautifully done. Love those pins with your pincushions too. Too dang cute!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet projects, thanks for sharing! I am in beautiful CA right now, where it is trying to rain, but not doing a very good job, temps in the 60's.
ReplyDeleteHi! I live in snowy Western New York...but I can feel Spring in the air. The sunshine is gorgeous and we are actually above the teens! God bless.

Your bag looks so nice - I haven't even started mine yet and it March already!!
ReplyDeleteI totally want your bag ! They're all made perfectly, but I love the first one ! It's raining in Comanche, Texas and we're so thankful for it. Our lake is only 29% full as are many of the lakes around us, while others in Texas have more water than they need.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects! I am especially enamored with your Dresden Plate pincushion. I've never seen anything like it! (maybe there's a Craftsy pattern in your future?)
ReplyDeleteI am from Illinois and love your totes! Of course, I love all things birds--I just didn't have time to join this hop. I am enjoying all of the beautiful projects. Our weather is jumping around. 75 a few days ago and back in the 40's today. You have warmed up in Florida--when we were there a few weeks ago it was in the 50s! Thanks for the give-away.

ReplyDeleteI live in Michigan and the weather has finally warmed up a wee bit. Isn't it sad when 35 feels great? You have so many great projects. Love the little carpet bag, but all of your purses are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from Western Iowa..we had some very warm days last week, way above normal. Yesterday and today are more normal for us in March. I love all the bird fabric and what you have done with it...thanks
ReplyDeleteHi, greetings from WA state! It's cold, gray and dreary here. Great projects.

While yesterday was officially the first day of Spring, the season has already come and gone on North Padre Island on the Gulf Coast of Texas as we've already hit 80 degrees. I'm in the midst of making beach bags! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in Central VA and it was a beautiful day! Sunny with a high of 70
ReplyDeleteI'm from North Carolina. Today was cloudy and looked like rain. The temps are about 50-60's. Hard to say they change so much.

Your little black gingham bag is adorable! I love your owl print.
