"Yellow-headed Blackbird" Ruth Powers 2009 12"W x 12"L
Ruth does amazing piecing and this quilt is all pieced, except for the feet. I love the bright colored reeds and the diagonal stripe binding. One special thing about this piece is that Ruth has never seen a yellow-headed blackbird "in-the-feathers", so to say. And she would love to. We looked when we were on a Road Trip a few years ago, but no luck.
The light in his eye is two little white embroidery stitches. The white in the wing is a piece of print fabric.
I cannot tell if the legs are pieced or appliqued - I'd guess the former. The two downward toes are embroidered.
This backing fabric seems perfect for the image on the front, but I'm not sure why that is so. Perhaps because it resembles a cage?
Great label. With several ways of contacting the artist if the buyer is interested in more of the artist's quilts!.
I blogged a picture of just the front of this quilt in 2010 - use this link:
