Small Pieces Sometimes Take the Longest


Funny how a small eagle piece can take so long.
This was started under Jude's guidance
about a year ago I think!


I think of him as a messenger travelling between the planets and the heavens.
Fly stitch seemed appropriate.


He can soar even above a shadowy moon and stars that remind me of quilters blocks.


A meeting place of stitches
oh, and of course some rust.

  1. YES Penny, it's a "patchwork beasts" piece !!! Great to see it again. The stitching is wonderful (but that's somehow your trade-mark ;-) !!!)
    The photos of last post are beautiful (although I myself am more a wood than a sea person ....)

  4. to my Aussie eyes from downunder here, he looks very Nth American/Alaskan mystical, from some ancient source. The use of fly stitch has never been more appropriate.

  7. most inspiring! i love it! those gorgeous feathers really make him sing.

    i find smaller projects easier to leave behind in favor of others all the while thinking, "this will only take a few moments more to finish, so i can go ahead and start something else"...of course, coming back to it is sometimes difficult...but usually warmly welcomed, like your wonderful piece here!
