The Accidental Embroiderer

Some very decorated birds.

Last August I posted a design of an elaborate feathery bird, which I was lucky enough to sell later at our September exhibition. This bird started me thinking about ways that birds (always my favourite subject) could be made elaborate and decorative – almost in a baroque style. The result was a collection of 12 “baroque birds”. OK, the style isn’t really “baroque” in the usual meaning of the word, but they’re certainly elaborately decorated, which is what I had in mind

Two rather baroquish bird designs

So now there are 10 more decorated birds in the files, not unlike these in general feeling, and now all I have to do is to find a way to use them!

  1. Besides making a quilt or pillows, you could put them on the back of a jacket with a bit of wording.
    “Birds of a feather” (everyone knows flock together) a friendship item.
    Put one bird on the front like the pink one “Spread you wings and Fly”
    Linda,
