I stitched "Doodle Bugs" a Blacksheep kit by Ewe & Eye & Friends back in 2004. The kit provided a very small (5' x 7") piece of Sugared Ginger Lakeside linen. So when I decided to have this framed, having enough linen to stretch and secure it was challenging.
Fortunately by framers were up to the challenge! By using a wide mat we overcame the stretching issues. The metallic purple frame picks up the colors of the two "Doodle Bugs" and that of the inside border.
At least a couple of times a week, a raven greets me in the morning.
After being AWOL for a few weeks, one of the wild turkeys has returned with seven small chicks.
She is a vigilant and protective mama.
The babies do not stray far from her.
A California Scrub Jay is being a 'regular'.
He is far out-numbered by Steller's Jays.
Blue against blue.
Upward and onward!
The Stella's Jay's are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeth: This is truly a very sweet design, you are right the frame does pick-up the purple color in the design and lady bugs.

The baby gobblers are adorable. We have seen an increase in turkey around here, but haven't seen any babies.
