LynBrown.Com Ornament Of The Month Club March Swan

Here is our March Ornament… A single Swan-A-Swimming upon a bit of burlap. I love the play of the formal swan against the texture of the nubby burlap!

Our cute swan is a slight variation of the swan appearing on a doll quilt I recently added to my collection.

It’s difficult to exactly date this little quilt because it is all solids. Also it is extensively machine quilted but it does have some age to it. I believe that the little quilt survives due to this detailed quilting.

I printed the picture above and traced the pattern, reworking it just a bit to come up with the pattern for our ornament.

The Ornament pattern would also make a nice sachet or a cute gift tag (you wouldn’t need to stitch that down!)  Click below to download pattern and instructions:

My Early Spring Pattern, above, is now available at my Craftsy Store.  Made with just FIVE great fabrics (These are all from Hoffman California Fabrics) to set up a great dynamic.  But I must confess, the quilt started out as a swap of ten inch squares, so a layer cake or Cracker (also from Hoffman) would work great too!  Make your own version of Early Spring and send me a pic!  Thanks!
