I was going to share another upcoming release toda I was going to share another upcoming release today, but I wasn’t ready to leave Spring just yet 😊

The bird nest on the cover of the chart is an actual nest that I rescued. At one point it had the most amazing blue egg in it that I’ve ever seen. 

When we built this house, we had no idea it be a home for more than just #mrhod and me. Swallows, sparrows, robins...they share it with us. 

I loved the ‘nest’ that I designed so much, it made it into all 3 pieces in this chart❤️

Fabric bundles are now available from @simplestitchesfabricshop - @zappydots has a ‘hello spring’ needle nanny available as well. Thank you to both of these companies for their continued collaboration.
