I've been working on some embroidery designs for a commissioned embroidery project recently. Birds have been the chosen theme, and although I'm really not much of an artist - I eventually sketched out some cute little birdie's, all of which look rather plump! It seems there's no such thing as delicate skinny birds in my imagination! ;) The floral background is a new vintage sheet I got last week!

I also finished up two more farmer's wife blocks this morning before work. I have been neglecting my FWQ for so long! It was great to get back into the swing of it yesterday. Now I have a good selection of 1930's reproduction prints in my stash it's becoming a lot easier to make up the blocks carrying on with my vintage'y vibe.

On the subject of fabric, I also picked up a few fat quarters from the Briar Rose collection. It was Amy from nanacompany that inspired me to purchase after I saw those delightful pot holders. I couldn't resist any longer! I'm not sure what the future hold for these, but there will be petting and admiring in the mean time. xo
What sweet little birds. And I love those Farmer's Wife blocks! Great colors.
ReplyDeleteHappy creating!

Love Briar Rose. I'm thinking about getting some myself.
ReplyDeleteThat vintage sheet looks like is straight out of Cath Kidston!!
ReplyDeleteI love those birdies, can't wait to see what they become!
I have to say, I'd never dare use Nana's pot holder! They are far to pretty!!
I love the yellows in your FW blocks! And the DO have a vintage feel!
ReplyDeleteSweet embroidered plumb birds... if I was to attempt such a thing they'd probably resemble another species altogether!
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet birds and love your blocks! Happy Friday! xo Holly
