This quilt was one of the pieces in the SAQA online auction in 2011. And it is one of two of Terri's quilts in TCQC - the other one is also a bird which I posted about at: http://www.delquilts.blogspot.com/2012/01/terri-stegmiller-quilt-in-tcqc-01-29-12.html
This little guy is especially expressive with a glint in his eye and his little three feathered tail sticking up. And look at those dear little feet! You know how much I like little feet! Terri has wonderful control when she is thread sketching, creating the irregular line to indicate the "featheriness" of the bird's outline. She also does such rich backgrounds by piecing together different prints and then coating with a transparent paint.
"A Little Birdy Told Me" Terri Stegmiller 2011 12" x 12"
Cotton fabric, thread, batting, embellishment. Machine pieced, thread sketched and quilted.

These lines of thread waste are so effective here, giving the impression of fence wires.
The quilt is backed with hand dyed fabric and has a faced binding.
A good label that tells the buyer and the viewer how to contact the artist.
Altogether a lovely happy quilt which I have hanging in my bed room - like having a "birdy on my windowsill". www.terristegmiller.com www.stegart.blogspot.com

I had forgotten about this beauty Del, thanks for sharing it.
What a sweet and perky little bird! Makes me feel good to look at him.
Hi Del, Thank you so much for featuring the quilt I made on your blog. I'm so happy to know that you are enjoying it.
Very, very special -- perhaps the blue bird of happiness! SAQA's auction is a terrific way to see a large variety of wonderful quilts and via the web, meet the quilters. Thank you.
