Little by little a bird builds her nest, and little by little I regain some strength.
For sewing this week I made the 9th feathered star, this time in my neutral... lime green. The color of the month for the next four months at RSC is not color actually, so I chose my own for the rest of this year.
turns out I don't have a lot of scraps in lime but look at some I used...
I love that bit of words , the daisies, a Christmas angel, spirals, and that bit of repeated lime has sparkles on it in glitter!
I pulled 3 others from the 9 completed blocks just to start thinking about how to set themjust sewn one to the other makes that cutie pattern where they come togetherthe pattern sourceI pulled sequins and beads to add to the orange embroidered flower... let the fun beginLook at this video by Sarah Humphreys on many ways to add sparkle to a quilt/ or embroidery
I have been watching some lessons from Tam La Porte's online free workshop... and painted three really fun pieces. I only got one pic, I'll show the rest in weeks to come, but even DH liked them!
and the close up
there are sometimes a small part of a painting I like best. This time it was the blend of colors on the body. Wouldn't it be fun to see something like this in your own yard?

Your sewing projects are always so creative and pretty and I love your butterfly too!
I love the feathered stars you make!
The butterfly is beautiful! I love all the colors you used. Great job on your feathered star as well. Cool pattern where the corners meet. Guess you'll be deciding how to finish this one off in the near future. Glad to hear you're still regaining strength.
Beautiful butterflies and fantastic feathered stars (and awesome alliteration). Truly, your creativity is a wonder to behold!
