I am very proud of the signature on the bottom right square of the carpet. I redesigned it to feature my name and the date, and I stitched it all 'over one'.

Framed - October 2014
This young Flicker perched in the maple tree waiting her turn at the suet feeder.
An older female did not want to share.
Notice how high her legs are in respect to her body and how her stiff tail feathers help her to perch.
I do like the spots and dashes that pattern the feathers.
And here's a most welcome returnee!
My little male Downy Woodpecker.
Welcome back and bring all your friends too!
"Gracie" is wonderful. What great colors.

What a beautiful design and over one, I'm very impressed!!! I have to get the suet out! This cold can't be good for the birds!
ReplyDeleteI love the "kitty" finish! And your signature block is lovely!
ReplyDeleteOf course, your bird photos are marvelous, as always!! That striped one that you refer to as an older female is really stunning! So unusual!
