The two exhibition pieces I've been struggling with are almost finished. While I haven't given this one a title yet, the machine work, other than the final binding, is finished. I plan to add some simple bead work, probably in a wonky circle. Every fourth vertical line of machine quilting has been done with blue thread. Then the blue lines have all been whip stitched by hand with white #12 thread. I decided to forego the beading with this piece. Stylistically it just didn't feel right to me. Instead I used home-made rubber stamps to make the birds on separate fabric, cutting them out and fusing them to the grey background. The same grey fabric will be used for a simple binding and backing.
