Bird Watching for Quilters

by Mary Emma Allen on December 21st, 2006

What does bird watching have to do with quilting? you wonder. 

*You can find relaxation as you watch birds at a feeder from your window, in your garden, or during walks. 

*The birds around you may inspire your quilting designs.  The pioneer quiltmakers often named designs from the birds and animals in their lives.

*This is an enjoyable family activity that can create memories, as it has done for my family.

As I began to look at quilt designs and books, I discovered that many quilters have been inspired by watching the birds in the world around them.
