Bespoke ~ Birds On A Wire. My latest client sent me a wonderful series of images including a photo of her exquisite little baby girl, her nursery and a favorite toy, when she placed an order for a bespoke quilt and these knitted birds. I chose the colour of the wool based on the images I received and enlisted in the help of a very talented and beautiful knitter - my mum Barbara to make the birds and ball coverings.

I then set about selecting the fabrics for the quilt, in keeping with the birds I was drawn to use greys, creams, shades of pink - including a request of hot pink, complemented with turquoise and shades of blue. I used some of the fabrics for the birds wings to tie the two pieces together. I will post images of the fabrics to go in the next few days....all going well.

The birds are gorgeous, more beautiful than I imagined they would be. So so happy! They will be amazing in Wilow-Bebe's nursery ��☺
