Wattlebird Designs – Quilting patterns with a French accent

Winter

It’s cold and wet, it’s winter. Not much that I can do in the garden so I can spend all that energy in sewing ! It seems that I have started few projects, oops, amongst it “The BEE quilt” . And I have added the new pattern of “Heidi” to my product page, check it… View more

Demonstration at the AQC

Come and join me for a fun demonstration at the AQC in April. I will show you how to add interest to your fabric ( if the fabric needs adding!) and turn it into a pincushion ( never have too many). You can book on the day through Sewn and Quilted. And my new pattern… View more

Summer/ Eté

It has been quite a while since my last post. The garden has taken most of my time, between weeding and planting and of course the bees… It is a steep learning curve and fascinating. To my question will my bees swarm I had neither a yes or no and now I know why, basically… View more

The Ch0oks/ les p0ules
