Hummingbirds -Finished!

Its been a while since I posted about this and I've only shown snippets.
I am very happy to say that this piece is now finished.

 It measures 27" x 35" and is bound with a plain dark blue cotton.  Sorry I don't have a photo of the edges.

I have used the traditional; method of trapunto ( ie, stuffing from the back) to fill out the body of the birds.
They were sagging a little and needed it!

The border is made up of crumb blocks and the whole piece was free motion quilted on my domestic machine.

 These photos were taken in direct sunlight - I love how it shows up the quilting and the texture of the hand embroidery on the birds.

It is now packed away and ready for my display.  I'm working like a crazy woman and will have lots to show you over the coming weeks/months.  

'Til the next time.....

Happy Stitching
