Brigitt made this lovely "Garden of Stitches" wool applique quilt by Primitive Gatherings which was a BOM project from a local quilt shop years ago. This is the second one I have quilted, you can see Stacey's larger version here.
I SID in the piano key border, added a stencil design to the outer corners, added loops in the sashing and pebbles in the background around the flowers.
I used gold So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.
I was able to get a few good shots of our Blue Jays in the yard, we have 6 that like to visit the feeder in the mornings.
After getting a few still shots I challenge myself to try to get flying ones as their feathers are spectacular when in flight!
My favourite shot that day!
Blue Jays, perfect colours for a quilt. Love the quilt too.
ReplyDeleteFantastic pictures of the blue jays! They are such a smart and beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is lovely. Your quilting really complements it.
Beautiful quilt. I love the pebble stitching...it makes the flowers “pop”. Great shots of the blue jay😀
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the jay! They are a beautiful bird but can be obnoxious at times - just like crows and magpies! Great quilting on the quilt too. The pebbling is perfect around the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI started following your blog for the quilting but now look forward to the night sky and nature shots more. You could shot for National Geographic. ;)
