Feed The Birds | Simple Needle Felted Robin | December Stitch Along Part 4
Feed The Birds. Make a Simple Needle Felted Robin to finish our panel. This is our December Stitch Along Part 4.
This month we are taking inspiration from Memories and Music as we stitch the final panel in our 2024 Winging It Journal. I'll be drawing on one of my favourite Christmas carols, and taking a trip down memory lane to capture the feeling of the festive season.
If you don't celebrate Christmas, don't worry - it's going to be subtle. You can still join in, and there are plenty of ways to adapt this panel to capture December in whatever way works for you. Draw on your own memories and your own meaningful music to create your own record of this time of year.
This week we are adding a little needle felted friend to our festive panel. Robins are synonymous with Christmas, and I happen to have a pair that feed in my garden. I couldn't leave him out.
If you don't have needle felting materials, you could applique your robin or make him in a different way. I wanted something textured and cosy, so wool seemed the perfect solution.

    This is a wonderful example of doodling sewing. I like it very much. Several ideas i will be using - especially how you did the buttons. I had the idea that i might have several needles each with a different color thread so i don't have to re-thread too often. That seems easy for you but it's not so much for me😊

    Thank you for demoing felting. i have often wondered how it was done. I have only seen felting machines that have mulitple needles, so I translated that to be felting had to be done with a multi-needle felting tool. You make it look so easy to do. I am inspired to try doing some!!! Your drawing of the bird was so simply done. It looks perfect size in the space you made.

    I feed Titmouse, Chickadee, Eastern Bluebirds, Cardinals, and Several varieties of woodpeckers. I put out sunflower seeds, suet, peanuts and dehydrated meal worms. Those are mainly what the Bluebirds eat. I also keep water out for them. I have goldfinch in the summer. Not sure where they migrate to in the winter. I wish we had your Robins here in the states. The Robins that visit here in the summer are so annoying. The males make their racket all day long and it is not pleasant to me. I guess I will have to do a felted English Robin. 😉😄 Merry Christmas.

    Ah! I learned something here. I made 6.5 inch blocks from Splendid Sampler and some blocks short. I will use the washi tape trick to determine my seam allowance for when I join them to sashing or other blocks (undecided still). I didn't want to use coping strip to the block because the sizing is quite minimal and it would look odd. Thank you!!
