I couldn’t resist putting these up. Cherri asked me for some birds to put on a quilt and I couldn’t come up with anything very original, so she suggested trying some quail and this is the result, stitched by Cherri in warm browns and yellows. I think the idea is to place them in a line with the large bird in front, followed by a line of the small ones. Quail are very appealing birds so it would be difficult to make them unattractive, but I do like them and am looking forward to seeing the final quilt
Preliminary stitch-outs of quail to put on an embroidered quilt
Talking of Cherri, I should have mentioned last week that the Audubon bellpull on the blog was done to an idea and a sketch of Cherri’s – also that the final stitchout was by her. My apologies for the oversight
