These Cute Birds Are Sweet Accents for Your Home

| They Make Fun Pincushions Too!
These sweet little birds are fun accents for your home every spring or any time. Tuck one into a wreath, centerpiece, or a small bowl for a whimsical touch that will make everyone smile. They also make cute pincushions for yourself and to give.
Choose a pretty print and a neutral for each bird. The colors don’t necessarily need to be “bird” colors (although they can be), so have fun with your selections.
The size of the birds is not specified, but you can see that they fit in the palm of a hand. This is a relatively easy project, so don’t be surprised if you make a whole flock.
Maria from Mirabella Patterns provides the pattern found at the following link.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
