For the Birds

Our bird embroidery makes an appearance on a poster for birds.  Remember this pattern from Geninne?

Rock On!

Look what was in my mailbox! A couple of weeks ago I won a gorgeous hand painted rock in Geninne's giveaway.  Isn't it adorable? He has the most charming look on his face.  Thank you, Geninne, I love him!

 I couldn't resist keeping the cloth and tie that the rock was bundled in.  And that's Geninne's card on the right, which now has a happy home on my refrigerator.  As for my new bird rock,  he has a proud place on my desk where I can enjoy him everyday :-)

The Embroidery Continues

I'm on a huge embroidery kick and can't stop! Here are two more hand towels I started a while ago and have just now finished. This time I went major matchy-matchy compared to Geninne's bird.

I've also got a burro thing going on, too. Here are a couple of close ups:

Saturday Embroidery Project

A few days ago Geninne blogged a free embroidery pattern: a line drawing of one of her darling birds. I couldn't resist transferring him to a vintage style cotton tea towel and getting to work.

I tried to choose colors to go with the side stripes without being too matchy-matchy.

You can find Geninne's pattern here on her blog. You can find the tea towel here.
