Cardinal
Wanda Todd
red bird in flight
singing
I tried not to listen
flying
I tried not to see
landing
captured my attention
singing
my heart listened
bathing
water drops splashing
comforting
tears heal my soul

I love cardinals. To see them in our trees & the deep endearment of the male cardinal for his soft hued female mate just mesmerizes me.
And whenever I see a cardinal project, whether it be in the quilting world or just the crafty world, I always earmark it as something I must try.
And now that I finished this cardinal wall-hanging designed by Wendy, I can't wait to hang it for the Christmas holidays.(Sidenote: This is only the 2nd time that I have machine quilted a 'design'....so remember this is a novice -- [read--->beginner!] attempting to look professional in her quilting.)
Good morning, Dawn!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out fabulous! I don't see a thing wrong with your machine quilting! Congratulations on getting a project completed - you ought to be so proud of yourself. I am certainly proud of you!!!
Great job machine quilting - I can't wait to see a picture of it hanging at Christmas! I love the bright colors of it.

It is just beautiful...Wow!
ReplyDeleteYou're getting pretty brave there "beginner", and pretty fance too! I wish I had your courage. I have wanted to try quilting an actual quilt (the purple pinwheels) for sometime now (5 months, but who is counting!) and I just cannot muster the courage no matter how much I practice. I LOVE this wallhanging you did. It is so pretty and enchanting with its Christmas shade. Great work. As always, your biggest fan.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your little cardinal quilt. It's adorable! You did a great job quiting it! Be proud! :o)
ReplyDeleteIt's just lovely. I haven't seen the magazine here, but if I do this will definitely be on my project list (and we don't even have cardinals). LOL
ReplyDeleteYou've done a beautiful job on it, and you quilting looks fine. :o)
Your wall hanging turned out beautifully. No one will believe you anymore when you say you are a beginner at machine quilting. Twyla
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely! Your quilting is enviable. At least by me! I, too, love cardinals...being a city girl, I'd not seen cardinals till I moved to the country...now I see them all the time and they never cease to enchant me.
ReplyDeleteOh it is beautiful! You did a great job on the quilting!
ReplyDeleteYour cardinals are beautiful! What a terrific piece for the holidays. It will certainly brighten any spot in your home.
ReplyDeleteI love cardinals too, well I love any bird. Your quilt is fabulous. And great quilting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The quilting is fantastic and certainly doesn't look like the work of a beginner!
