Little Bird and Kami

We have Bird Bird now let me introduce Little Bird from Sesame Street. 

 

I have another friend helping me test patterns and according to her she is only a beginner in the world of paper piecing. Her name is Karolina and she is from Poland - all I can say is she did an amazing job.    Karolina also has her own blog, where you can see some of crafy endeavours.

Celine has also sewn another wonderful sample for me - Kami.  Kami appears on the Nigerian and South African versions of Sesame Street.  Her character is HIV positive due to a blood transfusion she received as an infant.  She was introduced to foster understanding of those with AIDS or were HIV positive.

Kami has made appearances at UNICEF events, at the Peabody Awards in 2005, several Sesame Workshop Benefits and the United Nations for Worlds AIds Day.

You can find Little Bird and Kami on the Sesame Street Page or at Fandom in Stitches.

The Beginning

I have always done craft in some form - knitting, crochet, embroidery and of course sewing.   There have also been forays into paper making, beading, drawing and painting.  In recent years my time has been taken up with quilting and cross stitch.

I am always designing and I am completely addicted to paper piecing.

I am a regular designer on fandominstitches.com.  This is a wonderful website run by Jennifer Ofenstein (of sewhooked.com fame).  Fandom In Stitches is a not for profit, fan run site that provides free quilt patterns based on multiple fandoms.

This week I am finishing off a series of Sesame Street patterns for Fandom in Stitches
