I'm Still At It...

This is something I need to remind myself. I've been pulling, purging and packing. I'm not there yet, but I'm working on it. There will be a lot leaving by the end of this month. How are you doing?

Winter Song Fabrics...

I've selected the fabrics I'll use for my cardinal piece. I've already chosen the name for it..."Winter Song".  Next, I'll choose the threads I'll be using, and begin setting up the fabric I'll be using for the embroidered block. This is going to be so much fun!

My Next Project...

Do you remember the "Song of Spring" wall hanging quilt I embroidered a few years ago?

If you need a reminder, I have a closeup of it in my right sidebar. It's the robin with a nest of babies.

(Over there ------>)

I said I'd be sharing ideas for my next embroidery project.

 

I'm contemplating a companion piece for "Song of Spring" stitching cardinals as the focal point.

When I did the robins, I downloaded a pile of photographs from the internet to get details of the birds.

I love all these different poses, and will likely use a composite of one or two together.

What do you think? Do you have a favorite pose from these images?

I think I'll start on this over the weekend. I'll begin by drawing up a design and choosing colors. 

I may tone the red down ever so slightly. I'd love to know what you think?
