More small birds created - building up my stash to sell in November at the annual Doll Show and Sale

 

Two new small birds in bright colors

I created a new tail this week. Here are the first two birds showcasing the tail!

Bird * Bag * Doll * Creations

Another baby bird stitched up last week. I did some free motion quilting on the fabric before cutting out the parts.

I also finished up the last bag (of this set) to be sold at Gallery 116. This one is made from some lovely pear fabric that I found at the thrift store.

This will be my first completed doll - hopefully I can finish her up before my doll club meeting next Saturday!

Great Weekend!

I joined a doll making group this weekend whose members are both talented and interesting. Check out their blog at Indy Cloth Doll Makers. We had a fun group meeting and there was a lot of lovely show and tell. Afterwards we had lunch at Jokamo's Pizza with more lively conversation.

When I got home, my new sewing machine extension table had arrived. This will make a flat surface for free motion quilting and I really love it. Check out buying one for your machine at All Brands.

The members of my new doll making group wear pin doll/name tags to the meetings. Don't laugh, this is the first doll I've ever made (not counting the corn husk doll at day camp LOL.) She's about 5" tall - the fancy clip on her belly is for hanging the pins I'll receive for bringing completed dolls to the group meetings.

Baby Birds

Two Baby Dark Birds

I made these two birds for my mom's birthday gift. I did a little free motion quilting with shiny thread on the fabric before cutting out the pieces. I sort of followed the batik pattern - or at least started off that way.

FMQ Baby Bird

This is a baby bird from the same pre-quilted fabric as in my previous post.

They look cute together and I listed them on Etsy today - wish me luck!

Another FMQ bird

This is a piece of marbled fabric - it's subtle, but it's a "stone" pattern. I wanted to enhance the design, so I used circles for the free motion quilting.

From quilting to bird took about a week and a half. I prefer to take my time and not rush a project!
