blackbird finishes

All of these designs are from the With Needle & Thread book by Blackbird Designs.  I stitched them with Carrie’s Threads several months ago.  I finally found time to finish them yesterday – when I really should have been sorting through some boxes of papers and things!

The floral printed fabric is used for the back of the little alphabet pillow and on the the tiny rectangular pin cushion with the blue bird. I used the Cinnabar Weeks Dye Works hand-dyed wool on the back of the round Quaker pin cushion and filled it with tiny pebbles.

I used the brown pine cone fabric on the back of the pillow with the 2 brown birds. I used up several scraps of hand-dyed linens on these . I have a few more things on my work table I’d like to finish today but I really need to get the rest of my things out of Jerry’s office, sort them, and put them away.

PS – I could not repair the problems with the comments feature of my old blog theme – I’ve switched over to this new theme in order to correct the problem.
