Table Scrap Challenge: Bird

I finally finished my entry to Joy's Table Scrap Challenge for March. ( I know I'm late but it's better than never, so they say.)

It started here: Table Scrap Challenge. And I grabbed this magazine from 2000! 

I was debating between doing another cardinal, 

from my Wall of Fame

a blue jay, or even a robin. So many to choose from. 

The challenge for the Artisanat group is Spring so I opted for a robin. 

Then I spotted this one from the same magazine. 

Well, that was a game-changer! Dug out more fabric. 

I have no idea what I'm doing ... but I'm doing it! 

I realized that I'd traced the pieced reversed. Oh well! 

My bird will face the other way and life will go on. 

I had to add a little bit of purple because, you know, Purple Month. Its feet are too small and I might change that ... then again, maybe I won't. 

Thanks, Joy, for these fun challenges every month. 

See the linky party here for more "Bird" challenge beauties. 

All the best to you.

P.S. The challenge for April is Umbrella. I hope you will join us this month.
