gone to the birds!


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.
If you missed the post with Ngaire's Wood Pigeon you can go here
I have a couple of other customer quilts finished, but I can't show you them just yet. Here is a sneaky peak of one I am working on now..............

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.

  5. Your 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.
    Have a happy week, Cisca

  6. 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.
