Just another bird postcard. But one different from any other I have made.
He is a quilt block pattern by Nadia Ridgeway of ellisandhiggs.com that I purchased on Etsy.
I redesigned him to be a paper pieced pattern, reduced in size for a postcard.
Here I show a peek into my process of changing a quilt block pattern into a paper pieced pattern that I can sew as a postcard. Anything can be sewn from the pattern though. I just happen to love sewing postcards.
Quite an involved process, but the work only needs doing once then the pattern is reusable infinitely after that. I’m looking forward to a variety of bird colors with this pattern.

I just love your bird post cards and this one is gorgeous! His wing fabric has so much movement to it. Just beautiful!
Amazing bird card art, loveš¤©
The postcard is lovely, a splendid creation!
Lovely fabrics in your bird and another gorgeous postcard. xx
I'm glad that you love sewing post cards because I love looking a them. This one is a treat. I am impressed that you drafted that paper pieced pattern from scratch. Your donkey is pretty impressive too with all those little pieces. I guess I am impressed with all your paper piecing skills.
This is Ruth just in case I turn up anonymous again.
Another beautiful postcard Annie! Thanks for the peek into your creative process. I can see a whole flocks of birds with different colors! Dawn
Oh my goodness, I love this little birdie Annie. More please!
I was quite impressed. I could see the bird as a cardinal, too. Quite the feat, but, as you said, once done, you never have to do it again.
I do that too -- convert patterns to paper piecing. I love that once they are in paper piecing format I can change the size easily by scaling the pattern with my printer or EQ8. Your bird postcard is lovely!
Lovely Blue Bird postcard Annie. You sure do a great preparation for your sewing patterns.
