After a lot of google image searching, I think this pattern is from Tartankiwi Designs from New Zealand. It is their "On the Wire" Pattern Club which includes 5 paper pieced wrens. These birds come in 6" and 12" block size whereas the Lover of Life Designs are 12" blocks.
Rachel - you have been busy! I'm glad you're getting a small bit of free time now to relax! Having long-armed years ago in a quilt store on a very, very old Nolting (that was an experience wearing construction hearing protection because it was so noisy) doing just pantograph or loop-de-do's as I called it, I know how physically (and emotionally) and rewarding it was to help someone finish their beautiful, and hard pieced quilts. Kate's "Old Town" is a stunner!
I am not, yet though I've tried a little of EPPing, "Brimfield" by Regina truly shows her love of EPP and the beauty of her work and color and fabric choices. The quilt backing couldn't be more surprising and fun - all Tula Pink front and back!
And, lastly, "Bird" by Annet, I am a bird lover - and this foundation paper-pieced wall hanging is a stunner - her choice of green throughout each block and then tying it in with the border is so lovely!
Gorgeous quilts all -- and all so different. I zoomed into each one to understand better the brilliant choices of fabric and color. That Old Town is a Bonnie Hunter/Quiltville, isn't it? Well done to all.
All three are beautiful, just absolute treasures!
Well done quilters!
The bird quilt looks Foundation paper pieced, and masterfully done. Beautiful result!. I love it so much!
Wow, each of these quilting patterns is one of my favorites. I've always quilted my work myself, but now I'm rethinking... Too bad I live in the US. 😂
Like you I quilt my own quilts but if I ever had one quilted, I would want Rachel to do it. But I live in the US too.
Absolutely! The Netherlands' gain is our loss.
What beautiful quilts….my favorite has to be the birds. Lovely, as I sit on my porch this evening in rural Iowa listening to bird song.
Thank you for sharing . Such great art by all …..
You do such beautiful work. You've really enhanced each of these quilts, which are all beautiful in their own right and made more so by you!
Do you know the name of the pattern designer of the Bird Quilt? It's lovely.
I don't know, so I hope that Hilary has helped us!
I think the birds are from Lover of Life Designs on Etsy.

What perfect machine quilting choices.
just beautiful! each quilt is amazing and I love the quilting & thread choices!
Some of the birds look similar to the ones on Lover of Life Designs on Etsy but some are not the same. Thanks!

Beautiful. That Brimfield quilt pattern made it to my desk a few years ago. Several starts but no finishes. Getting inspired again.
Gorgeous quits and quilting!
It is so fun this morning to see these beautiful quilts!
