I realized I never posted my textiles final. I decided on shibori for the background

with hand applique and machine quilting. It was large..the stitching for the shibori took

me about 4 movies to do.

this is the finished piece. I think it is about 45 x 60 completed.

The birds are hand appliqued with hand dyed fabric..on top of the already hand dyed fabric. It was not the funniest thing I've ever done

here is a close up
