I’ve never done a giveaway here. My blog started as a chronicle of our life here in Maine for our family and friends – both longtime and new.

However, the reality of this blog is that I’ve had wonderful conversations with folks from near and far. Connecting over a common interest makes the world seem so much smaller. And, it warms my heart when people share the enjoyment they experience creating with my bird patterns.

So here’s an opportunity for me to give back to you. What bird pattern would you most like to see me design? Comment below with the name of the bird pattern you would most like to see that I have not already designed (you can view the archive here) – just one! I’ll randomly draw a winner and announce it here on Friday evening, July the 25th.

The winner’s suggestion will be the next bird I design.

    I love your bird patterns and have made lots of them. I’d love a female cardinal to go along with the male. Thanks for sharing your talent.

    I would love to see an Indigo Bunting.

    Female cardinal! I’d love to do a matched set of my favorite birds… And the female’s coloring is actually my fav – over the flashy male’s coloring!

    A wild turkey would be wonderful!

    Or a new world vulture, a grackle, a longspur, a roadrunner, a grebe, or a nighthawk.

    Thank you so much! We enjoy your birds so much!

    I would love to have a wood duck pattern! But I also like the other suggestions people have made, especially the turkey. Thank you so much for all of your bird patterns. I really enjoy making them.

    A painted bunting would be spectacular! I have made ALL the patters so far, and I will appreciate whatever comes next . 🙂

    I realized I already see a painted bunting – oops!
    Please change y my suggestion to a Striped Heron or Green Heron. I love waterfowl.

    I cannot believe you have made every one of these birds, Anita! Wow!

    I live in an area where Stellars Jays and Ravens, Black Phoebes, Acorn Woodpeckers and White Crowned Sparrows visit my front porch every day. We also have some Red tailed Hawks in our family. 😉 I’d love to make these for our Christmas tree sometime. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your birds! Great owl collection! ? I didn’t see a Stellars Jay or an Acorn Woodpecker on that list. Or a Belted Kingfisher…lol How about those? Or shall I choose one? I’m never so good at reading directions. 😉

  12. OonaBird on July 20, 2014 at 7:29 pm

    Okay if I must choose one…the Stellars Jay lol 🙂

  13. Alisa Beatty on July 20, 2014 at 8:53 pm

    I tried my hand at a Stellar Jay pattern, but her’s would be a vast improvement! 😉

    I would love to see a Wild Turkey pattern!!

  15. Sam Normand on July 21, 2014 at 3:38 pm

    A female Cardinal, an Osprey or a Snowy Egret, please.
    Or maybe a Rhode Island Red Rooster.

    Know it is not your usual, but how about a Woodstock lookalike from Peanuts. I work with a church group all year long to make Christmas ornaments for our fair in November. Your bird patterns are outstanding. Thank you for sharing them with everyone.

  17. Randy on July 24, 2014 at 8:57 am

    I would love to see a flamingo, vulture, turkey or roadrunner.

    Your patterns are amazing.

    Yellow headed blackbird please!
