I've been busy working on my hummingbird piece - it was time to begin the bird itself....
I started by laying down feathers at the top of the tail. I'm using 2 strands of embroidery cotton. It's Anchor or DMC threads.
Taking shape now.
It's slow work but I love it. I've been getting up very early in the mornings to work on this.
Nearly ready to move the work up on the frame and start another hummingbird. There are 3 altogether so a little while to go before I get this one finished.
I hope you come back to see my progress.
Have a great week!
Rhianon.

Rhianon, your hummingbird is beautiful! I have a hummingbird visit me often throughtout the day. I named him Stewart and he loves the flowers right by my sewing room window. Your birdie is just as cute as Stewart!
Absolutely beautiful stitches and hummer. This is going to be outstanding I think!
Wow that is beautiful! I really like the 2 color strands. The effects are stunning. I started embroidery when I was about 8 and after countless tea towels, pillowcases and doilies I gave it up...you make me want to try it again! ;)
wow, beautiful!
Delightful stitching, I love seeing what you are working on.
Absolutely beautiful! The two color strands add such dimension. You're a master at this!
