My entry is called Hello Stitchy Birdy and looks like this:
If you click into the image it will take you to the Spoonflower site where you can see the full repeat on the fabric. It is SUPPOSED to look like a corduroy background. Diamond shaped lines of stitching to represent quilting. The birds are felt appliques, with little stitched feet - and satin stitching for the eyes and beaks. The daisy is again, felt applique.
The colours come from a corduroy skirt I made my daughter last year. It's one of her favourites, and gets worn at every opportunity!
I did an alternate design as a coordinate, which was probably a mistake because I then just could not decide which one to enter as I really like them both. This is it:
I made the felt daisies in the aqua too, plus I did both designs in the standard way as well - i.e. not fake stitching! :)
You can see the collection here in it's entirety, including some plain "corduroy" backgrounds. I think I am going to have to order some...
If you would like to see the other sewing designs in the contest, and perhaps have a vote while you are there...the link is here.
Have a great weekend!
