At our house we daily revel in the antics of the birds who come to our feeders right outside our kitchen window. We have a couple of bird books at hand to identify new birds that we aren't familliar with.
I have been wanting to make some bags with birds and now they are made. I finally found a good enough reason to cut into the gorgeous Japanese fabrics I had been saving for a special project. The teal and pink fabrics have the most wonderful linen like texture on the yarn dyed and woven fabric.
These bags are all in my shop. I will have to get busy because my son wants one and so does my daughter. They will be quite handy for storage of their small treasures, like marbles, toys, or things we might find on a walk.
These are absolutely darling! Everything, from the fabric to the stitched wings, is impeccable and fits perfectly...going to go take a look in your shop!

Such lovely bags. We have lots of birds visiting our garden too, they bring us so much enjoyment, just watching them. We got our children a lovely childrens bird book for christmas. They love it.

De er helt nydelige! Fuglebrett er noe av det hyggeligste som finnes. Her i huset har vi ikke våget mate fuglene i år, siden katten kom i hus... Fuglene din er en fryd for øyet. Så fint du har quiltet vingene og stjertene:)

Those are just beautiful, very simple and elegant. Strangely, I'm not all that fond of birds in real life, but I love bird drawings and images like this!

Oooh, I love the blue fabric.
Some fabrics don't seem right for anything but one kind of project. I've had some in my stash for months waiting for their "perfect time". :)

These are adorable. I currently have a fetish with birds. I want to sew them on everything. You hit a home-run with these birds. The blend so perfectly with color of your fabric. Adorable!
