Well, here are my little birds on a wire! All stitched with free motion and quilted onto the background. I really like the result and plan to do a series of projects using this theme and design. Products with this design can be found after May 18 in my etsy shop nanotchka.

pillow swap sneak peak
This is the canvas for a pillow cover. I'm working with colors and a theme that I think my partner will like. The backgound has been sliced and narrow pieces of white and green were seamed into the solid cotton. After my background was pieced I quilted.

travel bag for ME!
I leave on Monday to visit my daughter In Pittsburgh. I thought a new travel bag was in order and found a great piece of vintage drapery fabric with an interesting tree design on it. I could resist filling the trees with little raw appliqued birds. The bag has a top zipper closure and is fully lined with lots of pockets for the trip. The large rough mother of pearl buttons pick up the colors of the bag and the birds. Now I'm ready to go!
Vintage bird embellished bag
I used vintage home dec fabric for the base and filled the tree print with a few birds from modern prints. The bag is heavily quilted and lined with lots of pockets for traveling.
not from me
I found this on flickr this morning. I love anything old related to sewing! It really lets all of us know that we love and are doing something that has fascinated women since the invention of the sewing machine and probably before that! This is such a wonderful collection! Check it out!
