This is a very small hanging...8 inches square, that I created to show in our library. They used to have an annual big-quilt show but space became a factor, so they turned it into a mini-quilt show. Mine is called "Romance at the dog park" and uses hand-dyed fabrics. I made it several months ago, during
Glennis' Shibori workshop, and before
Jude's Cloth to Cloth workshop, where I have learned skills that will enhance this sort of cloth in the future.
Lately, when I sit outside to sew, a hummingbird instantly appears and I have been thinking, Oh how nice to be appreciated by a hummingbird. Several times the little bird seemed to be acting a little less friendly and perhaps even a bit aggressive, but Oh well, I thought, it's still nice to be appreciated by nature in this way. Then, today, as I got up to leave, my eye was drawn to a patch of green in the apple tree, and what did I see but her nest...with her in it. Can you see her eye and her tiny beak pointing skyward? The nest is miniscule and has lichens decorating it! I think she was saying "Hello and keep your distance."
AND, I'm starting to create a shop! You'll see it on the sidebar. Feedback is welcome, as I have limited experience with this sort of thing.
