Go Mom Go!

Design - "Freedom" (zipper kit)

Designer - Bent Creek

Fabric - 18 count linen

Fibers - DMC & WDW -#5 Pearl 

Started - 13 August 2015

Completed - 30 August 2015

My Mom is on a stitching roll!  She loves all things red, white and blue so this was a perfect project for her to work on. The 18 count linen made a nice, upscale change from the Aida she usually stitches.

Charlene (no-reply on blogger) asked about stitching on a frame.  I am really lazy and instead of whip-stitching the fabric to the frame, I use oodles of Scotch tape!  As I usually have 3" margins around the design, I cannot see that the tape hurts in the linen any.  

We've had a Great Blue Heron flying overhead. 

There are still a few Black-headed Grosbeaks lingering.

Here's a male.

And this is my Mystery Bird.

It may just be a young Robin though it looks like it has white bars on the wings.

Nice groups of Cedar Waxwings come by morning and evening when the light is low.

Here's a young bird.

He's got the serious Cedar Waxwing frown down pat already. 

Better light so the yellow-tipped tails glow. 

Look at the tail feathers in flight!
