Memory Craft 9700 is what I want or dream of LOL!
Oh my! A wonderful tutorial, and a wonderful designer. And it is such a fabulous competition that I have to enter in every way possible.
1) I am a newsletter subscriber.
2) I visited Joe’s website, and I’m loving his current collection – Modern Meadow (the Sunny Day palette in particular) but I’m quote partial to Aviary as well.
3) If anyone were to offer me a new Janome, it would have to be the Memory Craft 6500P.
4) Last but not least….shared it on Facebook.
Thank you Kris and Kim for a wonderful pattern, and a great give away.

The bird pin cushions are a fun way to bless our nests! Thanks for sharing the tutorial and beautiful fabrics you create.
I have used the aviary collection for sewing before and absolutely love them. The birds on the branches add great detail and whimsy.
I visited the Janome site to choose a machine that would be great for my granddaughter who wants me to teach her to sew. I thought the Jem Platinum 1160 sounds like a great beginning machine for a young girl.
Cute pattern and the fabrics lovely. The bird will look very nice on the ‘Easter table’ maybe next time a stuffed bunny?
I think i just found Christmas present idea for all the girls on my list! WHat a great way to use up scrap fabric! THANKS
I downloaded the pattern and will be making a pin cushion and a sachet as birthday gifts for two friends! These are adorable. I will be making several of these for Christmas too.
I would love to own a Janome serger. I saw the perfect machine at a sewing expo and as soon as we recover from a job lose and are back on our feet again…I will have one.
Love the bird! I’m really going to have to make this one.
Loving the MC11K Special Edition! Embroidery, quilting, sewing – what else could a girl ask for?!
Impossible to pick just one favorite Joel Dewberry fabric. I love the sparrows and the rose in the Aviary collection.
I have signed up for the newsletter. Thanks
I’m one of your viewers from Norway. I enjoy sewing and really liked Joel Dewberry’s fabric designs. As soon as my arm is fit for fight (tennis-elbow-problem) I will try out the birdie pattern
Love your ideas.
And oh…I am always excited when a new blog is posted on the DIY dish twins. Keep up the good work
First Bloom was more my style, but my eyes were drawn to Sunny Day with the bright colors.
That is so cute! I may have to make one for every child I know because I know my girls will want to run off and play with mine!
I follow the newsletter.
Sparrows – in any color!
Janome Horizon
The Janome Memory Craft 9700 would be my choice of machine. Still using my owl pincushion

I’m hoping to trade in my Janome serger for an upgrade to the 1200D. I want all the bells and whistles!
I visited the Janome website and let me tell u I was drooling..Yes I was drooling over their machines…And I will tell u what I really would love to have if money was no object. I do need a new serger as mine is very very old and on it’s last leg so I had to look at those first. Of course if money wasn’t the issue I would choose the 1100D . Wow what a machine. I could spend all day on that thing . I Didn’t realize they could come with so many features. And I found a fiber art machine on their to do the needle felting crafts with.. I would love that for sure. Always wanted to give that a try it is model # FM-725. And their new gem caught my eye too. The sewing and embroidery machine memeory craft 11000 special edition..Now let me tell u that looks like an awesome machine. It sound slike it can do everthing and I do mean everthing….They have some beautiful machines on their website.

I’ve been trying to think of something I could give my daughter-in-law as a Christmas tree ornament keepsake. When I saw this the first thing that popped in my mind was making a dove out of white satin and lace. I can see it now and I can’t wait to begin (and the free pattern makes this a “sew-right-away project). Thanks so much for all your tips and Ladies I have to say I love, love, love all your videos. Joel, thank you also for the beautiful fabrics, pattern and wonderful ideas.
I love the DC4080 a workhorse tough machine is a must for me.
Thank you for another great idea.
Birds are some of my favorite things. This one is sweet. Love the fabric choices as well.

Love this show! Having a guest is great. Can’t wait to try out this pattern. I want to make it for a friend who has in invited me over to quilt this weekend.
Wow! I was so excited to see that you had a show with Joel Dewberry. His fabrics spark the imagination. What a fun little project!!!
I dream of the Janome 7700. I am a member of the Yahoo group for this machine so I can learn all about it. I am still sewing on a basic New Home Janome and really need an upgrade. I have loved this machine though. Never a problem since I bought it 6 years ago.
Kris & Kim I just put a comment and link on face book as my status…So hope you get lots of new viewers…I just love those birds..lol….They are too cute.
This is super. It seems like I never have a pin cushion handy when I want it, even though I have made many. I think it goes the way of the missing socks and tupperware lids. Thank you for the generous gift of the pattern. I will also be looking for Joel’s fabric lines.
What a fun project! Joel Dewberry’s fabrics are at the top of my favorites too. I’d love to win a set of fat quarters or his book.

Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us in Season 3.
The Janome machine I would just LOVE to have is the new Janome Horizon 7700QCP. That machine has such awesome features that would be great for any quilter and any sewer. It looks like a great machine.
Joel’s fabric are always interesting and beautiful to look at. My absolute favorite fabric from all his lines is the Modern Meadow-First Bloom in the Berry colorway. LOVE the colors and designs in this entire line. Just beautiful fabrics. The ONLY thing that could be improved in this line is if it were available in purples.

I’d like a Janome 11000.
A Christmas tree full of beautiful Joel Dewberry fabrics in reds – would love that! Love the little bird pattern!.
Why not go for top of the line, I’ve owned my only sewing machine since 1976 so I like the Memory Craft 7700QCP. It looks great. I would never give up my old Elna as it keeps working great, I even bought a second one at an estate sale in case I can’t get replacement parts in the future.
Um …. definitely the 1200D serger from Janome – oh the things I could make with that machine!!
I would want the MyLock634D – am just getting my feet wet in the sewing world and this looks like a great serger to start out with
I love Dewberry’s Modern Meadow fabric!
I like the Joel Dewberry Modern Meadow collection. The colors are fantastic and I love the mix of geometry within the collection.
I love Joel’s “Aviary” line–just beautiful!!
I love this little bird. My new grandbaby arrives in early May. I will be making some of these to decorate her room. Thanks so much for the DIY Dish- your creativity is served so well.

Janome’s MC11K is on my want list!!!

Love these pincushions…want to start now and make some for my friends!
Love those fabrics of Mr. Dewberry’s!
Love the ideas presented here…pin cushion, mobile, ornament…and the fabrics are gorgeous. I’d love the Memory Craft 6600P sewing/quilting machine. I love doing quilts and this would surely speed up the process. I’ve let my friends know about Joel and his book and line of fabrics on Facebook (I don’t quite have the “Twitter” thing down). Love your shows. Keep up the good work and videos/tutorials.
Love to have a Janome Memory Craft 4900QC.
Awesome project can’t wait to make one luv the fabrics!!

OHH.. I would love the Janome 11000! What a dream machine….
Thanks for your DIY Dish show! We enjoy watching your videos and seeing your new ideas. I (heart) the Janome 1200D. What a dream machine for a serger! Thank you for the giveaway.
Me again. I loved the new Modern Meadow 2010 collection from Joel Dewberry and the First Bloom colorway was my favorite. The Dogwood Bloom-pink was a wonderful contrast in color and the Majestic Oak-grass was a gorgeous graphic, I would find it hard to pick which one I liked the best. These fabrics would make a stunning quilt.
Joel Dewberry fabrics..so much fun..color and movements. I would love to do a project using his Manzanita fabrics in the loft pallete. I can just see the beauty there….
I really enjoy the DIY Dish. And the birds are adorable.
Glad to see you Girls back! Love the fabric and the bird!!! The 1/4″ seam foot for the Janome is great!
Who wouldn’t want the Janome 11000…I do, I do!!
Love the fabrics in the Modern Meadow Cool Stream
Love the project! I Can’t wait to make these adorable birds.
the cutest pincushions ever!
OMG, how cute is that! Thank you so much. I cannot wait to make some of these. The first one will be for my new grandbaby’s room. It will be perfect!!!
I love all of the Joel Dewberry fabrics. I especially like the Deer Valley in Azure and Persimmon, but I think the Deer Valley lodge lattice in tarragon would match the curtains I’m making for my bedroom.
Jem Gold Plus is the top of my list! I love that it has the serging feature all in one machine!
i’m a janome girl, myself. if i were to get my dream janome, it would maybe be the horizon or one of the sergers (i would need advice on which serger!)
I’m already a subscriber to the newsletter, so that should count shouldn’t it.
It just snowed again in Montreal last night! This little bird pin cushion project comes at a perfect time to remind me that spring is around the corner. I am loving Joel Dewberry’s colourful fabrics for the new season!!!
I love the fabrics! I’m off to print out the pattern and make some birds…

Darling project! Love Joel’s fabric lines. Perfect combination,lots ofuses for this adorable little bird. Joel,Ihope you guest again real soon, I will be looking for your new book.
That was great. I have a similarpattern but with legs.
I have so many favorite Joel Dewberry fabrics, its hard to pick just one…hm, I love his Gingeng collection, used it to upholster pillows for my living room. Anytime I make clothes out of his stuff, I get tons of compliments on the pattern
I love the aviary too and make an adorable purse for my mom w/ the deer valley collection.
Oh wonderful!! So excited to make these cute little birds!
I just adore him and his fabrics!! <3
I want to make some of those for the grandkiddo’s room-I love the idea and the cute fabrics!
I love the bird pincushion. i would love to win a copy of the book. Looking forward to your new season.
shared your link on FB for all my crafty friends
I loved the project……sew many uses!!!
Thank you for the free bird pincushion pattern! I love Joel Dewberry fabrics! Thank you Kim & Kris for bringing this to us!
I love the Janome MC11000! It looks like an awesome multi-purpose machine.
Fantastic…. i’ll be making some of these as gifts for sure….
bj
i Love the simple contruction,, the fabrics are super… and so nice
to know your a “family guy”!!! Joel…
I would love the Janome MC4900QC. It says it has 534 stitches and memory banks. I can’t imagine what anyone would do with all that, but it would be fun to find out.
I love Joel’s newest line – Deer Valley.
Birds are a great spring project. Your show is great.
I’m already signed up for the DIY Dish newsletter & I look forward to it each time!
Loved the segment, love Joel Dewberry fabric, need that book and fat quarters:)
I love Janome!! I already have a sewing machine and serger from them!! So if I had a choice my next Janome will be the MB-4!! So I could embroider!! And that would complete my sewing life!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh…they are charming! I can’t wait to make one…or two or three! And I’d love to win so my fingers are crossed….triple dog crossed!
Love these pincushions. Hope to make them for my quilting friends and my collection.
The colors in the Chestnut Hill fabric really appealed to me. What a fun line of fabric.
I just found your blog and saw the little bird pincushion project. Love it, Love it, Love it. You have a new fan! I would love to get my hands on the season one layer cake, and season 2 owls patterns. Is that possible? Thanks for the great and fun ideas
what cute birds. I love his fabric. Where have I been & why have I never seen it before?
love the shows and would love to win, fabric is my drug of choice..:-)
The Ultimate Sewing and Quilting Machine is a really neat machine.
I told my fb peeps.
Sparrows
JD15-Dark Green is my favorite print I love how the pink just pops, the colors work well together.
pookie
I want to make one! I can think of many gift ideas using the bird project. It could be a part of a basket of things or maybe even taped to the top of a gift instead of a bow.
We love the saying in our house, put a bird on it!
this is great project.
love Joel’s Ginseng line of fabric
Love this new pattern and have always loved Joel Dewberry’s fabric!
Fun idea – great gift idea and love the Christmas tree idea. Fabrics look fun, too.
I loved the birds! The colors of the fabric are awesome and I want to make one or more of the birds. Thanks!
Welcome back! What a great project to make – my granddaughter will love it, especially in Joel’s wonderful colors….she likes the damasks. I own Janome – both a sewing machine and a serger, and they are wonderful – they just do anything I want them too, and I was only able to get the basic machine, so the electonic machines would be wonderful!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful Bird Pin Cushion. My daughter loves birds and it would be fun to incorporate this idea into her wedding decor. I will be looking for Joel’s fabulous fabrics and book in Canada.
I really enjoyed this video with Joel Dewberry making the bird pin cushion. They are so cute! I would also like to make some as sachets with lavender. They could also be made most any size you wanted. Larger or smaller for whatever decorating ideas you might have. I also love the fact that they are made from different fabrics. You can just let your imagination soar!!! I live in a Senior Citizen Retirement Community so I took one of the pin cushions over to a meeting the ladies were having and showed it. Everyone thought it was very pretty. They also were enthused about making some. I have a Janome serger, but I would love to have a Janome MC9500 sewing/embroidery machine! It would fit my needs exactly. I can continue my garment construction and add decorative embroidered touches to things as well. I’ve always wanted to do that. Now, as to which Joel Dewberry fabrics I like: Well, I’m hard-pressed to select just one. I’m sort of like Kris said “I’ll take a yard of this one, and this one, and 1/2 yard of that . . . ” But since I have to choose, I love the Modern Meadow Vintage Charm pack in Sunny Day and First Bloom. I love the fact that his fabrics are color coordinated. It makes it much easier to select fabrics for home decorating and/or quilting or garment sewing. Thank you! Oh, I would also like to get the DIY newsletter!!
I really enjoy having any of Joel’s fabric in my hand!! But the pink hues of the Aviary collection are still my favorite to look at!!
I love these! Simple enough even I might be able to do it
So excited that Season 3 is finally ready for me to view!! I enjoyed watching you ladies talk with Joel!! Thanks for inspiring us all!!
This was a fun project with awesome fabrics! I like that you actually make the pincushion so viewers can see the progress.
I have a group of ladies that I sew with on the weekends! I forwarded them the email about the new episode being ready since they have yet to see one!! I thought this would be a great one for them to see to get excited about your episodes since they both LOVE birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cute Bird!
I think those would make lovely gifts filled with lavender. What a great idea
WHAT???? this is amazing….. I lub Joel Dewberry….
TY for beginning the DIY series again. I love the pattern and fabric used for the bird.
This was super cute. I am going to give them to sister-in-laws for Mother’s Day!
Oh my goodness – these are gorgeous!!! They’re going to be on my Christmas tree next year and I’m bursting with ideas on how to use them . . . bird of the month . . . birthday birds . . . a bird for remembering significant times of overcoming advertsity . . . can I make them to sell or are there copyright issues?
Love this bird! I really liked the idea Joel had about making them sachets for your closet – beauty with a purpose.
Absolutely loved this bird!!! Joel has such great items and cannot wait to get the book. I have a Janome 11000 and his fabrics are the love of that machine. Thank you
Went to the Janome Website. I think the next machine I would like is the mutli-needle embroidery machine — would make my embroidery business a little easier
Great show and really cute pincushion!
I visited the Janome site. I have a Janome 11000 – BUT would love to own a smaller machine to carry back and forth to friends houses and classes when sewing. Good luck with season 3!!!
So great to have you back! Both of you look darling as always! Kris love your tshirt with the to-the-elbow sleeves…where did you find such a great shirt? Thanks for sharing Joel Dewberry–can’t wait to go to his website for more great fabrics. Thanks for the darling bird–going to make a paperweight for my d-i-l who doesn’t sew, but who is a computer whiz. Thanks again!
Just checked out Joel’s Website. Love the Deer Valley line. All of his stuff is really great. Can think of lots of fun things to make
Love the bird pincushions, you both do a wonderful job inspiring us. thanks. ps any Janome would be loved and used constantly.

Love the Manzanita collection!

Great! Love it and another to add to your others that you have done the past two seasons!
So glad you’re back!! I don’t have twitter, but I liked the episode thru facebook for my friends to see. Can’t wait to get started on a new pin cushion!!
Ok (next entry) I would love to have just about any Janome machine, but the Memory Craft 9700 would be awesome since it can do sewing, quilting, and embroidery too.
It is hard to choose just one set of fabric to like because they are all so delicious, but my ultimate favorite is the Deer Valley Azure palette.
I love the pin cushion and Joel’s fabrics.
WOW what great inspiration! I’ve only been sewing a year and half and I just can’t get enough of simple fun projects like this. Love it, thanks so much for sharing it.

Wahooo….Love Love Love Joel’s fabric and would just be thrilled to own his book!
That is so cute. I want to make a little change on the wings and hand sew the bottom to the bird body, so I can put my needle threader in the “pocket” thus created. I am always looking for that thin little item. It will be right with my pin and needle holder!!

Love the cute pincushions you come up with! Made the owls for our church missions bazaar, and even made it larger stuffed animal for a friend’s nursery! Can see the birds made in elegant, luxurious fabrics for more formal occasions…. oh the opportunities!
I hadn’t known of Joel’s fabrics. I just went through his website and I’m in LOVE! My two favorite lines are “Stream” (especially Ironwork in Eggplant Mix and Buttercup in Eggplant) and “Cool Stream” (especially Majestic Oak Timber and Floral Fields). I like darker backgrounds on designs – they just seem classier. Thank you to Joel for the opportunity to win his book and some of this fabric. You have good taste, Joel!!
Thank you for this lovely project & pattern; I love birds. That’s also one of the reasons I like the Aviary, Bloom/Bark series of material; not to mention the fabulous colours. I’d love to hv one of Joel’s books & fabric bundle. Thanks for sharing this delightful project.
It was so nice to “meet” Joel…he’s a treat! Love his fabric collection and wanted to thank him for sharing the adorable bird pincushion patter with us and having the opportunity to win a copy of his book w/the fabric samples! YEAH!!!

I sent an e-mail to my friends. Started a group called Creative Sundays and here is one of the best places to get the creative juices flowing.
I’m new to sewing and the Joel Dewberry book would sure give some inspiration!!!
I’ve been wanting to do a bird project for spring and this is perfect. All I need now is some cute fabric!
Great Idea I love Joel’s fabrics are very fresh and contemporary. Thank you for the opportunity
I love all the fabrics and could see any of them in the Aprons that I am making.
This is the cutest little bird! I can’t wait to make one…or two…or three…
Visiting the Janome website is like walking into a CANDY STORE! I would love any of their machines, but I’d especially love a serger right now!
I love the Modern Meadow line, especially in Cool Stream!
I just love birds! And this one is the cutest! Going to Joel’s website to look at fabrics now.
I really enjoyed the episode with Joel. The bird pincushion is too cute. Also the fact that you can use it so many different ways is an added bonus! Can’t wait to make one!
LOVE this pincushion. I’m just like the both of you…I am drawn to his fabrics when I see them in a store. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I really like this pincushion, and am planning to make it. Love those fabrics too.
So I’m back and I must say that the Janome 8002D serger would suit me just fine. And I love the Jasmine collection by Joel. Green is my favorite. And this group is just beautiful.
This is so cute! I always look forward to your new projects! I can’t wait to make this
Wonderful fabric and the bird pincushion is so cute. Loved the ornaments made for the tree. Thanks for sharing!

I collect pincushions, so I can’t wait to make this bird pincushion to add to my collection. Great to see you girls back.
Janome machines are the greatest – I had a 10,000 until it died, I have a 350E, the 7700 and the Gem Gold LXE for classes and a Janome serger. Next on the list is maybe a 2130 QDC

Perfect project for a gift for several ladies that I have to get made soon. I am so glad I watched your video.
Love the pincushion! Love, LOVE the fabrics!
So fun, and perfect as little thank-you gifts, or a little birdie told me, thinking about you gift. Very wonderful of Joel to share this with all of us.
I love the pattern and will be making some birds very soon. I love the idea of pin cushion and sachet.
The Janome machine I’d like is the 712T, use with no electricity.
Any Joel Dewberry fat quarter collection is delicious.
But I really like the Spice colorway of the Ginseng line!
I have 9 large parrots, so the bird pincushion is just excellent for me! I have a Babylock Ellegante embroidery and sewing machine, but would love to own the Janome Horizon for quilting! Thank you for the giveaway!
love your bird theme- you guys are the best! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for entering me in the giveaway!
Love these pin cushions! I can’t wait to make some of these birds. Thanks so much for the pattern!
Fun! Thanks for the free pattern! I’ve been needing a new pincushion for awhile. And, great hint about the walnut litter! I’m going to look for it tomorrow!!
Love the bird pincushion. Thanks for the easy to put together fun project
Very cute!
great pincushion! so glad that season 3 is here!!!
Joel Dewberry fabrics are ALL beautiful! So, if I HAVE to choose, my favorites (yes, as in more than one!) would be….
3 color palette on the Aviary 2 collection
Joel’s Vintage Charm First Bloom
and all of the Modern Meadow Collection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quick! Wipe the drool off my chin after looking at the Janome website – I would love, love, love the 1200D serger. I adore my Janome sewing machine – maybe the serger fairy will bring me one if I’m a good girl!
Joel Dewberry! I love your Aviary line.
Pretty, and so spring like.
Oh My! Don’tcha know I have been a follower since the beginning????
Thanks for the pattern and the idea!!
I can’t think of a machine that I would NOT love from Janome. But, I did visit their site and looked around at the machines and I want, want, want the MC11000 Special Edition.
I just sent a text to my friend and an email to another with a link to the episode.
What a cute and quick project!
I like the Modern Meadow Collection fabrics, specifically the Sunny Day palette.
I am a newsletter subscriber! Since the first season.
Can’t wait to make a hen! I’m thinking about enlarging the pattern, adding some weight, and making it a doorstop…
I love this bird pattern! Such beautiful fabrics- I would love to win.
xoxo,
Amy
What a thrill it would be to win some of Joel’s fabrics!
I love the Modern Meadow Cool Stream collection so much that I want to decorate my new guest room with it. I’ve made a few things with some of the fabrics from that collection already.
From the Janome site: I’d love to have the Memory Craft 6600P for quilting.
Darling birds, thanks so much for sharing.
From Joel Dewberry’s site: I really like th Aviary “Sparrows” pattern. Maybe not for this particular project, but LOVE the birds!!
I love your show! There are always great ideas to make and use.
Loved the segment, the pin cushion and the fabric!!
What an adorable little bird! I’ve printed the instructions and will be trying it soon!
This is a great project. Thank you for it. I have a tip for filling these projects with the litter or fine filling is to use a funnel. You can buy the different sizes for different sizes of “pourable” fillings. Sure helps keep it from spilling all over!
This looks absolutely easy!!! Gonna give this a try. Neat idea for Christmas tree ornaments.
I would really like to have the Janome MC11000! That machine looks like a power horse!
I love the pin cushion! and the fabric is beautiful! what talent!
I totally adore the Deer Valley line of fabric on Joeldewberry.com
I would love to win this book! Just moved!!!
Love this bird. I’m going to make some as ornaments and a pin cushion for my sister & mom.
I am having a ladies retreat in May and these birds would be a perfect craft to do!
Oh what a nice giveaway. I love his designs.
I blogged about it here-

These are adorable! I am thinking perfect Mother’s Day gift! I cannot wait to watch the video and see how easy-peasy they will be to make! Thanks for your inspiration!
If I could have any machines I wanted from Janome they would be the Memory Craft 11000 Special Edition & the Memory Craft 6600 Professional. I would probably never leave my sewing room if I had these machines—well maybe to feed the kids. hee hee.
I can’t wait to try out this adorable pattern. Thank you for sharing it with us and for offering this giveaway!!

Thank you for having this giveaway and for sharing the bird pattern. I have given each of my kids a special handmade stuffed animal (a monkey and giraffe for my boys) and I was planning to make a bird for my new daughter. I hadn’t quite planned out a design, but now that I see the bird pincushion pattern I want to use it. That saves me quite a bit of trial and error in making my own pattern!
Thank you for the demonstration of the bird pin cushions. Very cute/pretty!
I’m already a subscribed to your newletter
.
I’m enjoying perusing Joel Dewberry’s website. I especially love the Tarragon palette from the Deer Valley collection.
Love that bird pattern – these would be so cute as Christmas tree ornaments – either all in one color, or in many different colors, or a specific coordinated palette.
Thanks for sharing!
I’d love a Janome Memory Craft 6600P. Looks like a great machine, and I could REALLY use a new one.
I spread the news on Twitter @birdie00000

I would love the Janome Memory Craft 6600P. Looks like it will handle everything I want to do with all the sewing I do.
I’m already signed up for your newsletter. I told my daughters about this. Thanks
I can’t wait to make some of these!
The Memory Craft 11000 is my dream machine!!!
I love Joel Dewberry fabrics and this tutorial is amazing!! This is in my To-Do-List for this week!!!!
What a cute and easy project! Love the idea for the walnut shell litter. Thanks!
Loved the pattern. Can’t wait to make it when my machine gets fixed.
Love the birdies… will try one today, but I need new gorgeous fabric too!
Darling!!!!! And just in time for spring!
Thanks so much! Can’t wait to make some of these cute birds!
Those are really cute. Thanks for the giveaway!
Love the idea of a Christmas ornament – all my ornaments are hand made!!
Those are so cute! Thanks for the giveaway.
This is such a great giveaway! I have tweeted, facebooked, blogged and chatted with a few gals about this wonderful bird pattern and the other great projects found in Joel’s book, Sewn Spaces. That adorable birdie could be sewn up for a baby shower gift, added to a childs Easter basket or you could use the side pattern piece to make an applique for a pillow and other items! Oh, and the fabric line…Modern Meadow’s first bloom palette is so “springy”!! Watch out folks, I’ve got my eye on that MB-4 from Janome. With it’s USB port connection you can plug straight in from your computer, 800 spm embroidery speed and it’s drag and drop editing…WOW, I hear angels singing!!
Thanks for sharing!! I love the birds.
I love the birdies..the fabric looks beautiful..I really need to find some of this fabric…as we only have Wal-Mart fabric in our area and it is very difficult to order online..I like to touch the fabric before purchasing. I have never heard of Walnut shell litter..I will go to that link above and see about purchasing the litter. Thank you.
I love this pattern and the fabrics! I am excited to make a bunch of cute little birdies! I am thinking to make a few for my girls for Easter. Thanks for sharing this great pattern!
Love the show! I do not always make the project, but your show helps inspire me! Thanks for the inspiration…sometimes, I just need a good kick!
thanks for an inspiring first episode of season 3. will love making these with my 2 sewing daughters.
Went to joel dewberry site. Modern meadow in first bloom color palette is lovely.
I loved this video and want to thank Joel for offering the pattern for download. I would love to win his book and the fabric, please find a way to draw out my number on that random number generator!
I took a look at all ofhis wonderful fabric offerings. It was hard to choose just one. However, I do love his woodgrain designs and the color selections for them. Wonderful for crazy quilting which is one craft I enjoy.
Great bird pin cushion!
I signed up for the newsletter. I’m excited to see what other episodes you have. I hope they’re as good as this one!
Love this segment. I will have to make this great bird pin cushion. I love the fabric, so cheery.
I absolutely loved this segment! I have a sewing friend who is a bird nut — cockatoos, cockatails, parrots, finches and now she’s raising silky chickens (that look like fur balls)! How can I not make her some of these???
Looking forward to season 3.
I love Kim & Chris,I was so glad I found their site,blogs,& webisodes,& yes I subscribe to the newsletter,I love all that you both do,so,so inspirirng,I dont think I would win the Joel Dewberry,but thats ok,I will always be a fan!
Have a Great Day!

I loved the little bird pin cushion and the beautiful fabrics, I think I am going to make them as a mobile. All the color fabrics would be so stricking! Love your show.
I LOVE making Pincushions and this is one that I have been wanting to make. I will also be making these for Christmas.
Little Birds always remind me of my Gramma Teresa, who has passed away, but I always think of her whenever I see birds. I have a stash of fabrics that I got when she did pass and I think that is what I will make out of for family members @ christmas.
Thank you so much for the video.
I loved watching the episode. That bird is sooooo cute. I’m making some to donate to sell at our Guilds quilt show next week-end (4/2&4/3) in Concord, CA……5298 Clayton Rd. @ Centre Concord.
These birds make my heart sing! I want to make an entire flock
Dogwood Bloom – Berry is one of my favorites fabrics out of JDs. I love the colors.
Welcome back, love the pattern, fabric and the walnut litter suggestion. Thanks for sharing Joel and you two happy twins!
I love these birds. They are soooo cute! Can’t wait to make one.
I’m a fortunate owner of TWO Janome’s! I have a 6600 and an 350E, they both sew out beautifully and are easy to operate. My local dealer is very generous with knowledge, tips and free workshops.
love em’!
The Janome machine I would love to have and have coveted (several of my friends have this machine and they absolutely love them) for several years is the Janome Jem Platinum 760. One of my friends keeps it in her trunk so it goes where she goes…..including RV camping…..so she can quilt wherever there is and electric outlet!
Let’s see if #569 is my lucky number? I hope so!
Oh, I love Joel Dewberry! How fabulous would it be to win his prize pack?!
Well, I’d really LOVE a serger, so Janome’s 1200D would be fabulous for me!
I’ve always loved Joel Dewberry’s Aviary fabric – specifically Sparrows in Almond. But, Modern Meadow is fab too. I most love Floral Fields in Berry.
I told 3 friends, one by calling her (she said she’d check out your website) and 2 by email (included your web address). I think they’ll be excited to visit your site.
Joel Dewberry has some really great large print fabrics and bright, wonderful colors. My favorite (actually favorites!) are his Manzanita and Deer Valley collections. I think the Deer Valley fabrics would make great Bird PinCushions.
Signed up for your facinating newsletter! Thanks
Love the bird pattern.
The bird pincushions are so much fun! Can’t wait to make one. Need to find some Joel Dewberry fabric.
What an awesome idea and the fabrics are super !! Can hardly wait to get started.
Beautiful fabrics and the birds have so many uses — can hardly wait to get started. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.
I just love Joel’s fabrics — so beautiful, colorful and perfect for so many sewing projects! And, I can’t wait to download that wonderful pattern and get making some cute little birdies. Such a fun and easy project.
I’ve been missing you and am so happy to have you back. I love your shows. I for sure will try this pin cushion and also the tip about the walnut crushed shells or whatever you called it. Sorry, I forgot already!!! Again, thank you for your time and effort into putting this show together just for all your fans. :^)
PS. Love the fabric also and thanks for introducing us to Joel and his book & fabrics.
i think my fav fabric is Ginseng: Spice, Bloom in Rust. i love the rust & turquoise together!
the birds are adorable, and i love the walnut filler idea!
thanks again for inspiration and “dishing up some creativity”. what a treat for someone to get that book and fabric!
I love Joel Dewberry fabric. I’ll be making the bird
pin cushion this weekend.
Love all his fabric! Excited for season 3!
Love the idea, the fabrics, and the book. Already tried making my own cushion using the pattern you gave! Thank you so much! Would be over joy if you check out my blog! http://nataliecreations.tumblr.com/post/4048738108/buh-buh-bird-bird-bird-bird-is-the-word
I love Janome. My daughter has small (3/4) Hello Kitty machine, that is so dang cute I use it sometimes. But my dream is to have the DC1050 and the 1200D Serger!
How I let my friends know: I made the bird, wrote about it on my tumblr, tweeted about it and of course link everything back to you guys
Aviary2 in lilac from Joel Dewberry’s collection is to die for!
WOW! I haven’t been to joeldewberry.com in a while and I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE it! My fav~ the Manzanita Collection … can’t wait to make that cute little bird out of fabric from that line … then maybe some throw pillows, a skirt, some new curtains …
Oh my goodness, I love these fabrics! Gorgeous! My favorites are: Ginseng – Jasmine, Aviary – Bloom, and Chestnut Hill – Stream. I love this bird, especially with those fabrics,
and I just might have to make a couple. Maybe I’ll make one for a house-warming gift for my niece. I would LOVE to have a Janome embroidery machine, perhaps the Memory Craft 9700 or the MC 11000 Special Edition. I’m glad you’re back! Can’t get enough of the DIY DISH!!!
Darling creation! Love Joel’s fabric collections. They are so fresh and vibrant!
I am a big bird lover and I would love to win your beauitful fabric. I just bought a Janome2010, but I would love one that I can learn to embroidery. Although I love to embroidery by hand, and I can see doing just that on the birds. I am a beginner sewer and this project is just perfect. I’m sure the book would really encourge me to sew outside the box.
Thanks and good luck to everyone
Rita
I loved your owl pin cushions and think I’ll have to make Joel’s bird pin cushion too! Joel Dewberry’s fabrics really are vibrant colors and diverse patterns. Something for everyone to enjoy! My favorites are the Ginsing and Manzanita collections. My daughter, my Janome 6600 and I say “Keep those awesome projects coming!!”
I have a Janome 6600P, but am IN LOVE with the MC 7700 Horizon! Janome seems to have addressed all the things I would change about my machine and then some! I would love the chance to visit Janome in Tokyo, tour their facility and meet some of the great creative minds behind these wonderful machines!
Visited Janome wesite – love all the machines – but would love to have the MB4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the bird pincushion. Thanks for the pattern. I’ll be sewing a few of these!
I tweeted about this giveaway.
The Janome MC7700 Horizon would make me very happy.
Visited Joel Dewberry website. Love all the fabrics. I think I like the Aviary ones best!
I like Deer Valley in Azure!
love your blog!
!. I love the birds!
2. I really need the Janome Jem Gold Plus.
3. What better way to tell the birds than to tweet!
4.I also like Deer Valley Persimmon, Ginseng Jasmine, Aviary Bloom and Manzanita Loft, I just couldn’t choose only one they are all great and I can already think of 100 things I need to do with them.
5.I already get your newsletter and love it.
Love these birds! Can’t wait to make one of my sewing room!
Thanks for the free pattern and great video! And I love the floral fields in sunset fabric….my colors!
I’m always thinking about different styles of pin cushions (since making the cupcakes from Season 1 – I made a bunch of those for a quilt retreat) and so thanks for this one – I’m shopping for fabric today and my printer is busy!
Thanks for the cute bird pattern. I love Joel Dewberry’s fabrics, when I have them I almost hate to use them!
What a great video to start the season! Love the idea of making christmas tree ornaments with them!
Wow, so beautiful and creative. Time to get my sewing machine back out. I love your fabrics too!! I want to make these pincushions for gifts.
I love those cute birds!
I would love the Horizon sewing machine for sewing and quilting! I am a new stay at home and I love to craft but I don’t have my own sewing machine yet. ( I use my mom’s next store) So I would choose that one.
I called and told my sister who also loves crafting about this over the phone.
I love the Ginseng Mulberry fabric from the Joel Dewberry site. I would love to make the DIY dish basic bag with it!
I already receive the newsletter and I watch every webshow!
I love these birds, I think I will make some for Easter for my daughters and Mother I think that with spring in the air having a few made and set in birds nest would be so neat! Love it!
Such fun. A wonderful quick gift too. I will check out the book and love Joel’s fabrics. So glad to see the new season starting, it has been a wonderful year. Thanks for sharing with us all.
I have a Janome300E and just love it, I like having a seperate embroidery machine so I can sew at the same time I am doing some designs
I met Joel Dewberry at In’tl Quilt Market in Minneapolis last spring and had him autograph his new book. Love, love, love the designs in the book!
I would love the MC 7700 Horizon by Janome! So many great features!
I love the birds! So cute. And the fabrics are great too:)
I love the Deer Valley collection, especially Antler Damask! I can’t tell you how many things I’ve made with this and many of his other fabrics!
I signed up for your newsletter after meeting you gals at Creative Connection in Minneapolis! You are just too cute!
Cute Birds! I need to make one I think!
I would love the Janome MC6600p!
The Aviary bloom collection, is FANTASTIC! I really love the colors and how well they blend.
I have been signed up for your newsletter for quite a while now, LOVE each one.
Told my sister about your site and about the contest! I hope she comes and enters too!
Hi Kim, Chris and Joel, wonderful pin cushion -bird project, love the colors and designs of the this beautiful Dewberry fabrics, hope I can find them at Jo-Ann’s Fabrics today! Looking forward to your new crafty 3rd Season. I bought a Janome 11000 and hope to use it alot with your new crafty projects you share with us all! Thanks alot for your ideas, Susan N.J.
I would love to have the MC11000 Special Edition – what we could do with that. I have a non profit horse rescue; we take in horses that have been abused, neglected, starved, heading to slaughter or the no longer wanted. We are always embroidering, sewing and quilting – trying to find those items that will be big sellers for us. Right now we are stuck with a 4×4 and very limited as to what we can do. I have been dreaming of a machine that would let us go bigger and better but that’s all it can be right now – a dream. This would definitely be a dream come true and it would be put to great use for the horses! Thank you for giving us a chance!
What a sweet bird and I love those combinations of fabrics.
What an adorable project that can be used in many different ways… I can’t wait to try it… Would love to add Joel’s book to my library… or win the fabric to work with… Thanks for sharing this wonderful project and introducing Joel and his wonderful fabrics.
I love the fabrics, and what a fun little bird. I can see myself hatching a brood to share, especially since I have some lavender that’s been waiting for a special project. Hmmm… maybe some catnip for a big kitty toy for my big kitty…. Oh, the possibilities. Thanks for sharing this.
Ooh, too cute!
Love Love Love Joel’s fabrics!!!Thanks for sharing the adorable bird pincushion/sachet pattern!
Just forwarded my announcement email to best friends, although they’re all likely to get pin cushions with lavender, of course, before long. Thanks again!
If someone wanted to give me a Horizon 7700QCP, I sure wouldn’t fight them!
I’m still in love with Aviary. One of my favorite lines ever!
And I’m a follower of the newsletter!
I have a pincushion collection….this will be a great addition to it!
Thanks!
This is one of the best projects I have seen lately. What lucky girls you are to have Joel as a guest. Love his fabrics.
I’m “in the pink” lately and really love the Floral Fields (berry) and Flower Fields (grass) and the Handpicked Daisies. I’ve only visited one collection! It’s impossible to pick just one fabric. I want bunches, but have limited space in the RV. Hmmm… what can I get rid of to make more space?
I can’t believe that I first heard about Joel when attending a class his mom was giving at Nancy Zieman’s Sewing Weekend. She was so proud of him just coming out with his own line of fabric. Donna is an amazing woman – that is where Joel gets his talent!
I have a Janome already, but it is over 20 years old. Oh would I LOVE a Janome MC 7700 Horizon!
I am already a subscriber to your newsletter for a long, long time!
These bird pincushions are so nice. Love all those fabrics, too
So many machines, so little space! I have the MC11000 and love doing embroidery and a variety of projects. If I were to have a second machine, it’d be the Jem Gold Plus so I’d have light serging capability in a relatively small package. It’d be the right size to take to the gathering rooms at some of the RV parks to sew with others of like mind.
That’s it for now. Looking forward to more of his and your fun projects!
Such lovely, lovely fabrics!!!
I’ve received your newsletter for quite some time now!
I just think the little bird pincushions are so cute. I love them. But I can’t seem to get the pattern downloaded.
This is a great project to make with my granddaughter! I am teaching her to sew by hand… and will progress to the sewing machine later. Thanks so much for this great pattern, and your inspiration!
What a cute pin cushion! Thanks for the pattern too!
Love these pincushions and LOVE any fabric made by Joel – my favorite is the Modern Meadow collection.
Thanks for the pattern. I love the ideas presented for the bird pattern. Love Joel’s fabric. Thanks again been looking for a new pin cushion pattern.
They are so cute! I think they would make cute pillows to go on my girls’ beds. Looks like a spring break sewing project to me.
These are super cute! Would love a copy of his book for inspiration!
I am signed up for the newsletter
I already get the newsletter and can’t wait to make some birds.
I just bought a DC2010 and LOVE it but would also like the Horizon.
What a fantastic giveaway and just LOVE the bird pin cushion. I think I’ll be making that this week-end.
this has got to be the cutest pin cushion I’ve seen in a long time, would love to make one. Love the Joel Dewberry fabrics all so. He is a first for me, never heard of him before and now will never forget him lol
Hummm Joel Dewberry fabric I love ginseng in spice or jasmine, Rose damask magenta or organe and Sparrow in dark green. Basically I love them all and would make thousands of birds to cheer people up if I had them all.
So cute! Will keep the bird pincushion in mind when I need a quick gift!
I would like to win the book. It looked so beautiful.
Tweeted and facebooked the link to this edition of your show.
I’d LOVE an embroidery machine, so the Memory Craft 200E would be my choice!
I have a craft room full of birds. Love these! They will make a wonderful addition to the room. Birds inspire me! Joel’s fabrics also inspire me!
love the Deer Valley in Azure! Wonderful colors!
Great project! Love all the fabrics.
I really like the bird pattern. So simple, yet it can be customized to suit any decor. Heading off to my Janome now, to start whipping a few up!
I love it! I still need to make the owl pin cushion from last year because I just got a sewing machine for my birthday this year! I love it, but need a place for my pins! You girls are the best, keep it up!
I’m loving that MC11K!! It has all the bells and whistles and that’s just what I like! It looks like it’ll take my quilts to the next level! Also, that new pressure foot for perfect 1/4″ seams? Yes please
Shared with my crafty friends on Facebook!
I’m loving the whole Aviary line but I think the Sparrows in dark green is my favorite
I love birds!
I appreciate the fact that Joel’s business is a family one. It is nice to know that. His fabric is beautiful. There is a bird in the works for my new DGD’s room!!
I love the pin cushion and all of the possibilities with this
Thank you
Brenda
I’m going to fly away with this little birdie, or two or three. Thanks for the offer
Always love all of the wonderful projects you bring our way, Kim & Kris! Keep those creative juices flowing for all of your viewers. It helps keep us young to try new ideas and techniques, you know. I’m reversing my age, LOL!!
Mame

This is so adorable! Looking forward to your third season here on the DIY Dish! Mary
Love this pin cushion, and I’m a fabricaholic which means I couldn’t pick a favourite fabric. My dream machine would have to be the Horizon though I would settle for the MC6600P. I send emails to my friends when I see something they may like on DIY Dish and I am already signed to the newsletter. Have a fun sewing weekend
Love the pin cushion, very pretty.
Oh what cute little, I would love to win the book and fabric. Thanks!

Thanks for the great project-I love it when your newsletter arrives. It’s like a present from a friend.
Love those birds. And dewberry fabrics. Brenda
Great project, love your show. thanks
Wow, what great chance to win! Thanks!
I would like the Memory Craft 9700 from Janome – one machine to save some space!
I really like the Manzanita Branch fabric. The whole Manzanita line is great!
Once again a great episode to start the new season! Thanks a million!
Since I still have no sewing machine, I’d love any Janome machine! But the Jem Platinum 760 would really make my day, in my small apartment…
I think my favorite of all time remains the Chestnut branches in white from the Chestnut Hill collection. But I’d still love any fabric in the pink palette of Modern Meadow.
Thanks for the chance!
I’ve already signed up for the newsletter!
Awesome!
Loved this pin cushion! And the fabric was just gorgeous.
1) Can’t wait to make one or two (or six) of those pincushions! I’m always looking for a new small projectc. 2) I’d love to have the Janome Horizon. With its bigger throat space, I might finally be able to quilt something larger than a wallhanging on my home machine! 3) I forwarded your email to all my quilty friends in my address book!
4) I like the First Bloom line of Modern Meadow and the Manzanita line. 5) already get your newsletter!
His fabrics are just perfect for the bird and other projects in his book. The Christmas tree bird is georgous! Would love to win the book as well as fabric!!!

I love watching your show. Out of all the sewing machines by Janome sewing macnines I would love two different ones the MC11K Special Edition or the MB4. I have the Singer XL 1000 and it is so out dated. Thanks for the great crafts you do and share with us. Sue
I love the pattern, can’t wait to make some this evening . I’ll be making them for some of my quilting friends as well.
Thank you
Hi Twins, great to see you back, great little birdie and cute pin cushion! WOW, Wonderful cause for Cancer Support… I would love to win your Cannon camara. I recently had loaned my Cannon camara to a neighbor who had their car spray painted by some kids and they needed to take photos for the insurance reimburshment, she dropped my camara and broke the lense, the neighbor bought a very cheap nikon to replace it back to me and I didn’t have the heart to ask for them to buy the same Camara that was broken, because they are unemployed right now. The Canon Rebel would be a super and wonderful gift… I would love to win it! Thanks for careing and giving for so many good causes and making and sharing your crafty and sewing ideas to all of us out here.
Welcome back for a another great season!!! This bird pattern is so cute! I can’t wait to make a few and turn them into pincushions for some deserving people!!! today is my birthday!! maybe I will get lucky and win the book/fabric bundle!! keep up the great work!! love this show..
I love the free bird pattern and was just watching the video to see how it was put together.

from your favorite babysitter!
PS- I just joined your newsletter. Thanks!
Wow thanks for the chance to win, I absolutely love Joel’s fabric! And your totally right, it always seems that the fabric I’m first attracted to in the store, turns out to be his, most definitely my style.
Thank you again ladies, and Joel!
Sincerely,
Sirena
I love your webisodes. This bird pin cushion is really cute!
Cool to see Joel Dewberry in person!
I Love Joel dewberry fabric line first bloom!! Think of the possibilities!
YES!!! Another pincushion to add to my growing collection. I love the idea of starting the season with a new pinchusion. Thanks so much to you and Joel for sharing.
Downloaded the pattern and ready to make a dozen. Thank you Joel. I am also going to check out his book Sewn Spaces.
Ladies, keep up the good work. Love your show.
Love this adorable idea. There are so many possibilities here. I want to go on a bird making frenzy!!!!
I just bought a bird cage from the flea market and I have been trying to figure out how to decorate it, I just love this bird, so I am going to give this a try and have him inside, thanks for sharing!
this is adorable thanks for sharing
Love the bird pattern and Joel’s fabrics are to die for. Just gorgeous!
WOW! Holding my breath for this one!!!
Thanks for the fun and free pattern!
LOVE Janome! Bought my Janome machine 3 years ago and sew with nothing else! I would love to upgrade my serger to a Janome, particularly like the 1200D since it cover hems too….drool!!!
Can’t wait to get my hands on Joel’s new Citrine line!!!
I have a Janome MC6500 and I love it. It was a major bargain on ebay for $500 even after a $100 + repair!
I lust after a horizon but, frankly my sewing skills are barely deserving of my MC — I will be sewing with this for many years.
I hope you see this post soon…I have tried downloading the bird pattern several times and just get a black screen. Is there a problem with it? I love the pincushion and want to make several for gifts. Thanks.
I made this adorable little bird and it came out great! I love it. It was a gift for a friend so I still need to make one for myself. My quilt group saw it and want to get together and make one too. Thanks for sharing the pattern.
Cute birds!
I love this project!!! The fabric is adorable,and I am excited to make it. thank you
I just bought a Janome and I LOVE it!!! The Janome site is very helpful, and their customer service is great to help you find the right machine for you.
I love the versatility of this craft! And the idea to turn it into a mobile is PERFECT! I can’t wait to see! While I plan to make one as a pin cushion, I think I will make a couple as bookends/paperweights, as well!
I LOVE Joel Dewberry fabrics!! One of my favorites!
I visited Janome and GOSH!! Way too many choices:) I like the Jem Gold Plus Trim and Stitch because it has a light serging ability.
I tweeted and fb’d
I love Joel Dewberry’s damask prints…always a classic print! I have to say though, I think I like the chestnut hill line almost as much!
Love this project! I will be trying it.
Birds have been all the rage for making & decorating lately, but Joel’s version is the best I’ve seen – and so fun and easy to make! I love to win a new sewing machine – the Janome Horizon looks like it would fit all my sewing needs! I subscribe to your newsletter and am always excited when I receive a new one in my email!
I think Joel’s fabric line called Citrine would be so perfect for a new quilt I’m planning for my daughter & her husband – they want a mix of bright cheerful fabrics and these would work perfectly.
Love the project, can’t wait to make it! Thanks for the free pattern Joel!
Hi! i love to make and sew things that you guys make! i am only 12 and i want to enter the contest! i hope you come out with alot more sewing projects!
Please enter me into the contest. Love Aviary 2 with the new colorways for prior favorite prints — thanks. Now I’m off to download the pin cushion. For some reason, the Pendant quilt pdf download gives errors.
Please enter me into the contest. These birds are just adorable. I can’t wait to try out the pattern! The fabrics are just beautiful! I think I know what my family will be getting for Christmas this year!
Love the beautiful fabrics, enter me into the contest. Love every thing you guys do!!!!
Now I have a great reason to stop making the owls and start with the birds. Joel, I love all your fabrics, and Girls, you totally rock. Everything you do inspires me to make stuff, and I’m just a beginner. Thank you for helping me express myself so beautifully.

Made one last weekend…..love it…

I just discovered Joel today while searching for fabrics, and I am a huge fan!! Oh, I do hope I win! Oh, and you girls are great too!
One more thing… I love all of the fabrics, really all of them, but I’ve got my heart set on the Aviary Granite Palate.
Love this idea! Can’t wait to try it!
I went to the Janome site and I believe I would love the Horizon.
I visited Joel’s site and picked out as my favorite line – Aviary in the orange colors. yum!

I’m a 67 year old craft aholic and I love your projects. Gotta go catch a couple zzzzz’s now ….gotta get up and continue crafting. Thanks for being there….Jean
I have started making all kinds of different pincushions and displaying them in my sewing room. I loved this little bird the moment I saw it and made it right away. Just wanted to add that it must be stuffed with some kind of weighted stuffing on the bottom or it will not stand up right. I just used polyfil and had to remove it and replace it with the poly pellets which I had on hand. I think I will start the mannequin pincushion this afternoon. I found some nice candlesticks at the dollar store yesterday. Thanks for bringing all these great patterns my way and I’m so thrilled that I found your website.

Great blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions? Thank you!
