A Little Bird Told Me Sew Along!

BySusan Myers on quilting

Join A Little Bird Told Me Sew Along and create a sweet quilt that features 12 whimsical tropical birds sharing wise and thoughtful advice—because apparently, birds know a lot!  Each block combines appliqué with simple embroidery and will be available free for one month.

Each month, I will be offering a free block pattern that includes step-by-step tips, instructions and free templates. Each block will be available free to all Sitcom Readers for one month, and after that, will be available in my shop for a small fee. See the bottom of this page for the pattern link which includes full sized templates and instructions for Block 1 of A Little Bird Told Me.

Create the complete quilt featuring all 12 feathered friends, or turn your favorite blocks into cheerful, encouraging wall hangings. Either way, you’re sure to have a little fun—and perhaps pick up some bird-brained wisdom along the way!

So how does this work?

Starting August 7, 2026, blocks will be offered for one month each. Each block will be available free to all Sitcom Readers for one month, and after that, will be available in my shop for a small fee.

Finished Quilt is 60″ x 74″
