Birdland

The other week I was daydreaming about making some fabric birds into a mobile. I sketched it out, thinking what a great new baby gift for my friend. I had been messing around with the little bird in Last Minute Patchwork Gifts.

Then I stumbled upon this. http://www.spoolsewing.com/blog/2008/05/16/bird-mobile/and my heart skipped two beats. So I cut some out and sewed them at the pool. I love how they just perch there. I have made a single bird on a branch as a prototype for the mobile. Balancing several birds and branches proved too fiddly. So I made these.
