I know we are hoping for spring but I just had to create this piece. We are experiencing our new home and landscape. Every year at our old home we have tried to attract blue birds. This year with advice from a friend we bought blue bird pellet food in hopes of attracting the blue birds to our new home. We are successful in getting them to the feeders. Now we just hope they will nest in one of our boxes. This was created from a photograph I took after one of the March snow storms.
I used fusibles and free motion quilting. I collages the fabrics to create the snow.
Love this quilt! It’s so cold today it’s perfectly at home! Enjoy your new place and beautiful blue birds. Snow is hard to depict but you have conquered it. You always have the best ideas.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on attracting blue birds to your new home. Perfect quilt to commemorate their arrival, plus being a great solution for the theme.
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever quilt, Tricia! You have had so much bad weather on the East Coast. I'm hoping that Spring AND nesting bluebirds soon come your way!
ReplyDeleteA lovely quilt, Tricia! Congratulations on attracting the blue birds to your feeders. Now you'll have to tell all of us if the birds are equally attracted to the boxes. A most artful composition.
ReplyDeleteKeep wanting to stare at this piece..Lovely! New home!?!
ReplyDeleteOh My ! Such a beautifully, gorgeous quilt !I don't know how you do it, but this quilt looks like its in 3-D... I feel like I could almost reach into the quilt and talk with the birds, play in the snow. and focus on that beautiful (Heart-Shaped !) bird feeder :-D Congrats on a stunning piece !
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful piece. I love the interpretation of the theme and your beautiful life-like image execution. I can imagine a bluebird would be the perfect antidote to a very long winter
