A New Flamingo

Today I spent a little time working on a new commission quilt...a flamingo.



It is small 24"x26".  The borders are on, the appliqué is stitched down.  The beak is soft structure Tyvek; painted then heated, and will be stitched down in the quilting process.  I still have to paint the eye too.



Right now it is nekked :) It will also have wool feathers; free cut and stitched on during the quilting process...similar to this one I did for a class door prize last year.





I'm just waiting for my order of wool to arrive!

  1. Nekked flamingos are really pitiful.

  2. That will be pretty. I saw the shadow behind the beak and thought it was a new technique. No, just a shadow of a flamingo not yet quilted.
