Poinsettias and Egrets

The challenge for our Southern Fiber Artist's group was to make a piece that measures 8"X11" and use the color red and the theme flower. I call my piece

Poinsettias.
$125 Sold

I made this sample to try out thread color and placement and then decided to finish it instead of throwing it away. It only measures 4"X6" but will make a nice gift.

This is printed on the back of the black mat board.

The leak in the pond is finally fixed and we had rain; so it's filling up again.

The egrets found the shallow water to their liking.

Cypress Queen

I have finally had time to work on a piece for SAQA's 2017 Trunk. Here is my submission of an egret perched on a cypress stump.

  

Cypress Queen

7" X 10"

Materials: commercial cottons, Superior Thread, and other thread

Technique: fused raw edge patches and bird and then heavily quilted

Statement: One of the objectives of the Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge is to provide habitat for migratory waterfowl and other birds. This egret stands as if queen of the surrounding lowlands.
