Vogels in de tuin/Birds in the garden

After finishing the book, we still had ideas...
We decided to make patterns of this ideas...in Dutch and English. Not in inches but centimeters.
Collect them all....you can buy them at exhibitions as a paper version, but they are also available as e-pattern.
We started with some Dutch patterns (the English ones will follow)

The first one is:

Vogels in de tuin

Lovely isn't it? All these birds are living in Maaike's garden...
The paper-piece blocks have very, very tiny pieces...and are really charming.

You can find the e-patterns at:www.maaikebakker.eu or www.quiltplazashop.eu
Have a look at those websites to find out more....

Have fun,
In the Netherlands we had today a lovely spring day....perfect to work in the garden, looking for some Gnomes...
