Sky Trilling is one of a range of Dream Bird patterns by Jo Avery.
Difficulty Rating: 1 ( super easy)
The sky trilling migrates every year from the southern to the northern hemisphere and raises at least two broods of chicks over the summer. They are particularly acrobatic flyers, and if you are lucky enough you will spot them swooping down to pluck plants and leaves from the meadows before soaring up high again, trailing the vegetation behind them like kite strings.
Disclaimer: bird information is completely made up for fun. This bird comes straight out of Jo’s imagination!
Create your own sky trilling using needle-turn applique and simple embroidery embellishment. These adorable birds can be used on quilts, cushions or clothing. Or why not collect them all together and make a fabric book like Jo? Fabric Book instructions are available as a separate pattern or FREE with the Dream Bird Bumper Bundle of 10 patterns.
This 8 page PDF pattern contains templates and instructions to make a 8" block (motif size 5½"). The pattern includes full embroidery stitch guide, extensive needle-turn applique tips and instructions for raw-edge machine applique. This is one of a series of Dream Bird appliqué patterns from Jo Avery, and can also be purchased with 4 others as part of 'Dream Bird Bundle 1' or as part of the 10 pattern Dream Bird Bumper Bundle.
