Bird Tree Blog Hop Sign Ups are Open ... and a Giveaway!

I love birds!
From the time when I was very young, my mother taught me to put  handfuls of seed out for the winter birds.
"Feed the birds and you will never go hungry" was what she always said to me.
It was something her grandmother said to her.
I have always loved watching and feeding the birds.
Cardinals are one of my favorites.
So you can imagine how thrilled I was when this
This Little Birdie Pincushion was made and sent to me by the one and only
Deonn Stott @ Quiltscapes
It is a treasure!
To make one of these adorable pincusions ...

Thank you, Deonn!

The fabric behind my beautiful Little Birdie Cardinal is a panel from ...

This fabric collection is
Beautiful Birds from Elizabeth's Studio
from
Tracy Lizotte
and I love it!
When I saw that the lovely Madame Samm was organizing a new blog hop ...

I went digging through my stash!
Some time ago I saw this panel on a table at a quilt show and snapped it up with the thought that maybe I would want to make a wall hanging with it. I did not see any of the other Beautiful Birds fabrics at that time  or I would surely had bought them, too.
So I will be looking for other fabrics in this line for this hop to add to this panel.
I am sew excited to be joining in this hop and hope many of you will be joining us, too!
According to the hop requirements, you may choose other bird fabrics, as needed.
This hop will be ably cheered by the lovely
Lana @ It Seams To Be Sew
In the spirit of giving and paying it forward, I am offering a ... 

Giveaway!
The piece I bought had two panels.
Each panel measures about 22" square a good size for a small wall hanging or other project.
Instead of waiting to share the second panel  in a giveaway in the hop,
I am offering to send my extra panel to someone  who would like to use it in this hop!
So here are the rules of this special giveaway ...
(1)  Post a comment on the Blog Hop Announcement  and send Lana and email.
(2) Post a comment here on my blog on this post below telling me you are joining in the hop and that you would like to receive this panel and use it for the hop.
(3) Have fun!
I will send this panel anywhere in the world.
This Giveaway will be open for one week  and will close at Midnight on January 23rd EST.
The winner will be announced on Saturday, January 24th.
