Ngaire's been at it again! Busy, busy............................
Ngaire wanted me to quilt the background to look like sky & water....I hope I pulled it off.
This wall hanging was in a New Zealand Quilter magazine issue #79 called 'Stitchbirds' or the Maori name Hihi.
Stitchbird is a member of the honey eater family, like two New Zealand honey eater birds the
Tui &
Bellbird, they feed on a mixture of nectar, fruit & insects.

I hope your week is off to a great start, it was a l~ o~ n~ g weekend here, Friday was teacher only day, then today was Labour day.

ReplyDeleteHi Leeanne! beautiful work...love the birds in the first quilt...you did a very nice job! Your background texture in the second quilt is wonderful...and can't wait to see more of the quilt you are working on now!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts and quilting. You amaze me too with your gorgeous quilting.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is super as always, Leeanne. The water and sky couldn't be better! And what a funny Maori name for the birds: hihi. The sneak peak looks marvellous, too, I'm looking forward to see more.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week, Cisca
The Whio are just gorgeous!! Maybe it's the blue, because I have to confess to being a bit of a blue person. But whatever it is, they are particularly stunning.
ReplyDeleteThe sneaky peak looks interesting and I love the work Ngaire and you do on the bird blocks!!
