and Welcome to My Birdhouse wall hanging pattern!
The idea for this new modern wall hanging came to me after receiving one of those 'home for sale' postcards in the mail. It was for a newly remodeled Eichler home in the neighborhood, and even though the price was flabbergasting, it was an attractive, modern style home.
Around here, one either loves Eichler's or hates them - they're not your typical style or constructed house. But, they have a modern, open vibe even if built 60 years ago, and those that are remodeled can be quite stunning.
Thus the modern house idea, which was simplified and evolved into these modern birdhouses,
that are creatively stacked on the pole.
Keeping with the simple, modern lines, the quilting adds to the modern feel without overpowering the quilt.
And if you look closely, each door is a different style,
to add to the interest.
I bet these birds are really happy to live here!
To make your own Welcome to My Birdhouse wall hanging, the pattern is available at Etsy. With detailed instructions, the birdhouses are suitable for the confident beginner quilter or above.
Again, Welcome to My Birdhouse, and thank you for visiting!
Susan, this is a quilt with amazing bird houses. I like that you included your inspiration. The doors are wonderful. The colors are beautiful and the variety sure adds a spark of excitement. Thanks for participating and inspiring us all.

ReplyDeleteI've been waiting to see what you've been up to, and I'm not disappointed! I love birds; they are kind of a thing in our family, so this project is just great. I'm pretty sure we have some Eichler homes around here, just down the road actually. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBig bird lover myself! Someday, I'm going to go to Napa where you can handle a falcon - they use them to keep the birds away from the grapes. It would be so awesome to have such a majestic bird on my hand! And thanks for the quilt love!
DeleteI love this and have "hearted" it on Etsy. Would love to sew this when I have the chance for a door hanging. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love, love your wall hanging quilt, just beautiful! I certainly have an affinity to birds & their homes! I have much joy in sitting on my front porch in the mornings & listening to them sing! Thank you, Susan
ReplyDeleteMe too on both counts! And thank you for the quilt love!
DeleteInspiration is everywhere! Very cute Susan.
ReplyDeleteLove your birdhouses! So cute and nice quilting.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful birdhouse design, Susan! <3
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it. It's simple yet dramatic with the straight line quilting. Even the toughest critic of Eichler's, would have a hard time not loving this!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Joan! Totally agree about those critics - what not to love on this one!
DeleteI am so into birds. I have several feeders at my small home. This is a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteMe too! And thank you for the quilt love!
Deletelove the doors on the birdhouses
ReplyDeleteThat birdhouse is adorable, Susan! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! Well, you had me fooled. This is SO cool and clever. I am ready to move into the house with the turquoise door. I'll bet the views are stunning from there! Great finish for this hop - I love it! ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Roseanne! I'm super happy with how this turned out - it could not have gone better!
DeleteI need to make this for my daughter and her hubby. They are big mid-century modern fans.
ReplyDeleteIt's in my craftsy cart right now :)
This is fabulous, Susan. I love the different colored doors. Mine would be orange!
ReplyDeleteSusan, your modern birdhouses are so wonderful and I really like the addition of the birds. Your quilting is perfection.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun and colourful and happy your little bird houses are! A most whimsical and beautiful finish!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt, & I love your modern take on the birdhouses. Who’d have ever thought an Eichler would be inspiring?
ReplyDeleteI love these birdhouses, it has such a mid-century modern vibe!
ReplyDeleteI love it so much! The doors are pretty darn cute.
ReplyDeleteSo darned cute! I love birds and bird houses. The quilted lines are perfect for the hanging.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Believe it or not, at first I was going to do vertical lines, but it made the whole thing way to busy. I'm super pleased with the horizontal choice.
DeleteLove this quilt! It is so modern and elegant looking. You did a beautiful job quilting it. I really like that all the doors are different. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteSusan, you have done it again!! Wonderful quilt, you have such a talent for design. I hope you enjoy your original and that the pattern sells really well. Just terrific!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Love your project.
ReplyDeleteLove it, so adorable!
