Hi I'm Birdie, I'm an artist native to southern Appalachia, living with my husband Ben, in our little home lovingly called Orchard Cottage after my favorite novel, Little Women. I began sewing in 2022, absolutely scared to my bones, as I was convinced you needed to be a math genius to sew (of which I am definitely not!) but after years of wanting more ways to create I gave it a go! As my confidence grew so did my natural stubbornness and creative heart, not satisfied to copy and do patterns I begin making my own work and love expanded for my medium. Eventually adding in the beautiful art of block printing as well and The Dawn Bird Creations was born. A couple years later and here I am making and sharing with you all. I feel deeply lucky to be doing this hard and overflowingly fulfilling work. My work is inspired and flows from my adoration of nature, turning seasons, and history. Drawing from natural shapes and colors as well as the long beautiful stories of quilt and print making.
