The Kumquat Birds...

 
Three more blocks finished for Sue's Bird Dance.
That large circle stitch is called the Trellis Stitch and
a Silken Pearl embellishment thread was used. 
Lots of variations in the colors in that thread and
 it's rather thick so the stitch really stands out. 

 
A Razzle thread was used to embellishment the bird's head feather.
I stitched two Drizzle stitches and then couched them down.
 
 
It was 10 degrees when I was trying to find some sun
to take these photos so the colors would stand out more.
 
I'm pushing to finish the last six blocks before I start
Sue's 2017 BOM, Fresh Cut.  The first installment arrives next week
and after seeing a preview...so gorgeous, so Sue and such a great design
with vivid, bright wools on a background of black wool.
Everything else is a secret for a year.

  1. Just beautiful, Nancy! I also signed up for Sue's 2017 Fresh Cut BOM. My first ever BOM with Sue. I've been so inspired since I began following your progress, and I signed up for Sue's Craftsy class... it's been hard for me... trying to be patient while waiting for Sue's first month's BOM!
