Its the first day it has been dry enough to hang this finished quilt on the clothes line for a photo.
The quilt called "Theses are a Few of My Favourite Things," is a real mix of lovely fabrics, fun ideas, hand drawn objects, fabrics coloured with Intense pencils and lots of hand appliqué ( broderie purse ) pieces cut from fabrics in my stash. It was fun to make, especially collecting the fabrics with the help of my sewing friends. It is very busy so just a simple purple border was all it needed to be complete. The back fabric ( chocolates ) also feature on the front. I made label by hand using the pencils.
A couple of close ups.
I have also finished the 3rd little felt bird. Its a Banded Dotterel ( brown and fawn )., The others are dark blue / black a NZ Robin and the green shades for the Bellbird. They each have a proper feather under their wings.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job Ali! Is it a gift for someone special? Your birds are sweet and I love that each one has a real feather!

ReplyDeleteIt could be an adult eye spy With the grandsons.
What a lovely finish. I'm sure a lot of people will spot some of their own favourites in it.
ReplyDeleteI remember you working on this. It must be so satisfying to have it completed. Your little birdies are so cute and I love that they each have a real feather.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! No, we were nowhere near St Michael's Mount, which is in Cornwall, in the south. We were in Northumberland, in the north of England.
