In 2011 I completed two 10" square bird pieces for my guild challenge. The theme that year was "Birds of a Feather."
This is Freida. She was the first one I did.
I had so much fun doing her that I did a second one, Dot.
Both are fused applique and then hand stitched, beaded and embellished.
I had always planned to do more birds in this series. Since I had to stop working on my UFO of the month while I wait for the thread to arrive I decided to begin a third bird. She doesn't have a name yet.
The wool applique is done. Now the hand embroidery and embellishment begins!

Love your birds. Eager to see how you embellish this one.
Your birds are fantastic.
Oh my gosh, they are fabulous!
I should probably email you to let you know I'm visiting your blog and am about to comment. LOL Don't want you to think you are getting spammed! Your new bird is so cute!
