I’m having fun designing new bird patterns…
Finding the right fabrics is always the key. The water fabric is perfect, don’t you agree? And the wonky black and white hashtag makes a super cute loon fabric! LOON ON THE LAKE #2 and LOON ON THE LAKE #3 are both brand new designs.
Here’s a loon I already had in my collection of FOWL FRIENDS. I’m planning to put all 3 of these loons together for a table runner for my cabin. We have a pair of loons that return to our lake in northern Wisconsin every year.
Those loons were my inspiration for designing this quilt pattern. I wanted to make a collection of water loving birds.
Here are some creations that my customers have made from my first loon pattern…
Larisa created her loons for a lap quilt. Who doesn’t love loons!
CHICKADEE #1 and CHICKADEE #2 were both designed at the request of a customer.
These 2 cuties remind me of Spring.
I love the birds and blooms! I am making butterflies right now for great nieces. <3 I appreciate your creativity!

The butterflies sound cool, Stephanie. Are they paper pieced?
The butterflies are paper pieced. I am starting with a simple-ish set of three free cute ones I found at Lillyella. I have not done much paper piecing, and not for a long while. ( It was your border collie. She was fun.) These butterflies will be sewn on clothes for my great nieces bd. Then, I also made her baby sister and baby doll matching outfits.
These birds are all very cool.
Thank you!
I see you sometimes take requests. I would love to have a labradoodle to make. They come in several colors and are usually adorable.
Hi Fern, I have emailed you some links to my Labradoodle patterns.
