Just Passin' Through

Bernice Maddux

I just dropped by to say hello,

Now if you love me, let me go.

Thanks for the food and company,

But there's another place I need to be.

Don't grieve because I fly away,

I'll be back another day

To rest awhile and sing for you,

And maybe enjoy a meal or two.

Promise me you won't be sad,

But treasure the little time we had,

Our two worlds met for a brief hello,

Now if you love me, let me go.

This little bird is my first attempt at actual felting on my embellisher. I used both wool and silk roving (silk hankie). I don't know if it comes across in the picture, but it is very dimensional.

The 'sunlit' leaves are a glitter encrusted velvet. The rest of the leaves are two layers of fabric fused to either side of heavy duty aluminum foil, stitched, then cut out and stitched to the quilt only part way along the center vein...thus shapeable.

I plan to add a border (or two), so the edges are not finished yet.

As of now it measures 8x 10 1/2.

I loved this challenge Cynthia! Hope this meets the criteria.Thanks for all you do for this group :-)

The borders are finished...it now measures 11 1/2x 14
