I have been really wanting to design more doilies featuring birds and flowers (with some butterflies thrown in for good measure.) I will call the set 'Birds, Blossoms, and Butterflies' or "Flora and Fauna' or something like that.
It kind of surprised me when I went back through my patterns and realized how many doilies featuring birds I have already made:
But, it is Friday, so how about a contest? I will give one person their choice of any PDF pattern on my site, bellacrochet.com.
I will select the winner at random, and send out the patterns in the morning (Saturday.) I will post the name of the winner here, so be sure to check back in the morning to see if you won.
Also, if you post anonymously, please be sure I have a way to identify you (at least give your first name or a nick name in your comment; I have no way of knowing who is posting.)
To enter, just leave a comment answering this question:
Do you have a favorite bird? If so, what is it?
This contest is now closed.
Please check back next Friday for my weekly contest.
It is so hard to choose "a" bird. I love chickadees for their sauciness, cardinals for their songs, orioles for their plumage, hummingbirds for their compulsiveness and mourning doves for their gentleness. If I have to pick just one, it would be the cardinal. We have them all over the place here and they sing and sing.
ReplyDeleteI love the cardinal
ReplyDeleteI have 2 favorites, The American Bald Eagle and the teeny weeny little Hummingbirds. Hmmm, that reminds me, I need to refill the Hummingbird Feeder, LOL.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
I would say my favorite is a hummingbird. We have a hummingbird feeder by our porch and I love sitting there watching in amazement at how fast their wings flap.
ReplyDeletewe do not get many pretty birds here in the UK, just the usual sparrow, starling, blue tit, robin and here by the sea lots of seagulls.
ReplyDeletemy favorite bird is the Robin but sadly do not see very many here on the east coast
I remember that magazine. Love your birds.
ReplyDeleteI just love your doily patterns. So I must enter here.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite bird is the kookaburra - as I love their laughing. I was so amazed by their laughing sound and seeing them as a 15 year old girl in Australia - they just kept in my mind.
I send lots of nice regards from Germany to you.

My favorite bird is my pet Lovey-Dovey, a ringnecked dove. He was an escaped or released pet who chose me by whom to be rescued and he has been an unending source of amusement for the past 4 years now. Among his wild cousins, my favorites are the tiny ones... the song sparrow, the chickadee, and the gold finch... oh gosh, I really just love them all....
ReplyDeleteI love the one that doesn't poop on my car.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the canaries, but I do not have because I prefer to see the birds fly free, rather than in a cage.marid88
ReplyDeleteI love the hummingbirds! My husband sits outside on our deck and takes gorgeous pictures of them :)
ReplyDeleteI love the little red-throated finches that build a nest under our deck eaves. It's fun watching them flutter in and out as they go about their business. Janet
ReplyDeleteI like Cardinals (red birds). There is a pair that has been spending time in our back yard. You can hear them chirping all day.

My favorite bird is the robin.
ReplyDeleteAfter a long cold winter, seeing my
first robin in spring is thrilling. It is a sign that summer is closer!!!
have a great day

I like all birds, but the two I like the most are the peacock and the cockatoo. I don't have a peacock but I do have a moluccan cockatoo, she is a very beautiful salmon crest bird.
ReplyDeleteI love cardinals
ReplyDeleteMy favorite bird is the white peacock. Very pretty!

I saw a picture the other day of a beautiful little bird that looked as if it was actually wearing a crown on it's head of feathers. I have no idea what it was but it was gorgeous. I am also a fan of peacocks, especially white peacocks.
ReplyDeleteOwls and peacocks
