I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.

FABRIC JOURNAL: BEAUTIFUL BIRD PAGE

 

I have set up my 
"Beautiful Bird
and Favorite Color"
page to be 
tacked down...

This week is designated
for "composition".

I had a couple leftover
KF charm pack charms that
seemed to echo this 
Bird's coloring
just right;))

These fabrics are all scraps
and leftovers--except
for my Beautiful Bird--
which I cut from my
hoarded piece of 
Tula Pink 1/2 yard piece...

I have begun doing 
some kantha stitchery
on the purple piece and
my leftover bit of Batik...
and I will finish tacking 
everything
in place before I begin
embroidering...

****************
I tried sitting outside on
our deck planning
to work on tacking, 
but
the wind was too
strong...
Very gusty and still
quite chilly despite
our warming temperatures...

Here is a picture from outside
that shows the brilliant
colors to better advantage:

I am planning to do a lot
more embroidery on 
this one...
and quilting around 
the clouds..

Tonight we are having 
black bean burritos
with sour cream and 
guacamole sides...
