Birds came and Birds flew

The birds that came
In a lovely wrapped package came this morningA gorgeous pinkeep from Edgar. If you have received from him before you know. He does amazing needlework. He stitched me this beautiful bird design called Brite Birds by Barrick Samplers using Vicki clayton Hand-dyed Silk on a piece of mystery linen. I love every bit
of it.

Thank you so much, Edgar!


The one that flew away to Gwen L in US. Word of its arrival received today.

Design : Prairie Schooler, Prairie Birds - Cardinal
My own Coffee/Tea dyed 28ct Evenweave finished into a pinkeep Size : 4 1/2 " x 81/2"Yellow flower pins specially made for this exchange with flower laces edgingBacking fabric in batik in theme colors with the birds. Added a pocket to hold scissor and an elastic band.

Thank you everyone for sending your kind wishes and good thoughts my way for the recovery of my kids. Happy to inform that Vincent got discharged this afternoon and is now home while Diane's test result this afternoon shows that she has made full recovery. Only now to ensure that there is no relapse.
Have a good happy weekend everyone.
