Larissa Brown IMO, the bird should be black, though. The raven was the bird that showed the way to Iceland and in general any land nearby. Vikings would bring them on their ships. I've read they were the first to have "crows' nests."

will i make play tea bags from muslin and felt? probably not. but this general pattern, bigger, would make a lovely produce bag or reusable treat bag. stay tuned.

Larissa Brown Or silly pillows that look like tea bags.

I just bought some pretty cotton/linen fabric that I meant for me -- but this would be a super great use too!

what a great use for some of my holey sweaters...

is it crazy to think i could make a patchwork quilt inspired by this?

tea napkins from fabric scraps. my new favorite thing (inspired, of course, my rimsky-korsakoffee house)

triangle 'dumpling' coin purse. i think this one is my favorite -- but the extensive use of quilting may be overkill.

snapped / origami-style coin purse. i'd love this one for sewing supplies or pokemon cards; maybe not for my little girl target market

coin purse with super simple construction; allows fabric/applique to shine

i'm making a coin purse for a friend's little girl. this one -- with a long zipper instead of a short one -- is super easy and cute.

love doves for 'put a bird on it' purposes.
