Fabrics for a small runner with birds on winter white, as pictured.

1 yard white background (one piece, or an assortment totaling 1 yd)

       (avoid directional fabric, as we will be freeform piecing) 

Assorted scraps for birds:   one bird needs:

   legs   6” x 2” scrap

   beak 1  1/2” square

  wing  6” square

   body  3” x 8” scrap OR 5” square

 (bring enough for 5-6 birds)

Back 1/2 yard

Binding  1/4 yard - a stripe is fun!  

Sewing supplies:

 Rotary mat, cutter, 6” x 12” ruler

 sewing machine, with cords

 Iron, pressing surface  (shared)

thread for piecing

pins

scissors

a sense of freedom and adventure! 

IF you don’t love the white background, think about placing your birds on a blue sky, or maybe in the leafy greens of a summer tree.   Your birds can stand on a branch……or a fence…..or the snowy ground - it’s up to you!
