In order to puzzle you, I left a part of the tablecloth in the picture, instead of cropping it. The organza idea is nice, but I don't have any; this is what I intended: Copy shamelessly from Jude and embroider the bird within the grid of the chequered fabric. I cut a paper stencil for the bird's shape and outlined it with a running stitch.The story behind it: There is a sparrow hawk in our region which flies low between the trees. I saw him/her rob a young magpie. The exited parents followed with shrieks of horror. A few days later, the sparrow hawk came into our backyard, flying no higher than the roof rail. This bird has something weird!
I intended this quilt to be a nap quilt, but not, if it gives me nightmares. Well -- being creative means you surprise yourself sometimes.

well you are surprising me with the energy that is bursting forth here. don't you just love the games that checkerboards play with your head?
i do
That is going to work out very nicely I think....
Birds give me nightmares - I am afraid of them and I hate them -- even small birds. Childhood trauma.
I did not get your e-mail. Try sending it to me at both addresses -raynagillman@verizon.net and my other one. Did you send it from my blog or from your own e-mail? I can't figure out why I sometimes don't get your mail.
I love this - I'm looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks for posting this.
Ohhhmmmm, I like this very much. You know I could send you a bit of silk organza. I have d.red, black and whitish/creme. Would be no problem at all.
I like the glimpse we can see...Nice not to know exactly what is going on.
Gema, thank you, this is awfully nice, but I think this would not go with the style. I'm more the sturdy cloth type...
