Before I show you what I have created for the hop today, here are just a few projects I have created in the past with some feathery friends:
I love making birds and projects with birds on them - they are just so quirky and cute! What have I made for today's blog hop? Another quirky bird of course! This one is three-dimensional and wobbles!
I adore birds as you may already know and I have only shown you a few of my creations in the mosaic! The pattern for this 3-dimensional bird can be found here and I highly recommend it as it was so easy to sew together.
For his legs, I used pipe cleaners and just cut as much of the fuzz off as I could. As soon as I find the right thickness of wire, I will make more of these little birds! For his body, I used an upholstery fabric sample from John Lewis that I had in my stash and the frayed edges add to the quirkiness and character of the little bird! I used beads for his eyes.

I hope you enjoyed your visit here today! I am also having a giveaway! Up for grabs is a piece of my very own handprinted fabric on Kona, Coats thread, a fabric tape measure, three marble-y fq's and some British candy! Why such a crazy selection of things? Well because I am a quirky 'bird' of course!

I loved the mosaic of your past projects. It's neat to see them is such a diverse way. But I have to admit the 3D bird stole my heart in the cute factor.
