Gayle's bird and pinterest

I am fascinated by Gayle Bicknell's handmade birds. I'm hoping to have one or two in my shop.
Gayle teaches textiles at Alton College and has a blog http://www.thelifeofatextilesteacher.blogspot.com/

I saw the inspiring patchwork photos on  http://www.pinterest.com/ The middle photo is from http://www.artvango.blogspot.com/ and the gorgeous intricate textile above is from http://www.etsy.com/
