Which nest do you like best....? As I was working on a bird nest Saturday I was trying to remember all the nests I had embroidered over the years....most going out in round robins. But I was able to gather a few pictures. I wish I had taken more. And I also realized it had been ages since I did something fun like a giveaway...so I'm combining nests and giveaway... Just leave a comment on this post and I will pick a name Sunday and the winner will receive this hand painted antique MOP button... painted by me of course.
This was on round robin and I think went to Cathy K.
This was also a round robin and went to Cobi in the Netherlands. I don't have a picture of it finished on the block but here it is in progress. It was one of my favorites. I did the bird in two parts.. the wing separately so it was three dimensional.
This one was on a block I did for my mother years ago. I loved the button nest and want to do it again. I had forgotten this one.
I just did this one last winter on my anniversary hanky quilt.
This should be 5... It was on the first cover I did for my beloved featherweight.. All the fabrics were busy prints. You have to look closely to see the baby birds..
And this one was on the vest I wore to Houston.
And finally the nest I'm working on now.
Do you have a favorite? Be sure and leave a comment ... you may be the lucky winner of the button!!!!
