Winter Wonder Wall Hanging

 Last summer I spent some time sitting outside slow stitching little redwork embroidery designs. I've had the book Redwork-Winter Twitterings on my shelf for awhile. Theses cute designs just needed to be played with so with no real plan a decided to play.  This week I went to work making something with those cute little embroidery bits .

I'm calling this piece Winter Wonder.

The layout of this piece is original but the wonderful little embroidery designs are by Pearl Louise Krush from her book Redwork-Winter Twitterings.

As you can see I went with Bluework instead, using scraps from my stash for the patchwork designs. I also added lace, yo-yo's and a few buttons.

The finished piece is 19.25" X 27.75"

Free motion quilt was done on my domestic machine.

I used a variety of free motion quilting designs, I also left some areas without quilting to give some depth to the piece.

I'm showing a view of the back to highlight that I always finish with a hanging sleeve of some type and a label. This means the piece is all done and ready to go. 

For the label on this piece I included my name and the date as well as the name of the embroidery designer and her book title (Pearl Louise Krush, Winter Twitterings)

 Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Details-Birds-Feathers

Not sure I can count this as a detail shot as I'm a bit far from the subject -- but I'm adding it anyway!  Bird Feathers!  We have a sweet mom duck who decided to have her nest in my flower box.  It is at window height so I have some close shots through the glass and around the blinds.   And yes I have a dead plant out there. I haven't dare to go outside to water it for weeks.


Here are detail shots using the crop feature on my camera.

Not sure how she plans on getting the babies out of the flower box?
Hopefully I can catch a photo of the babies when the time comes.
