This is another purchase from the SAQA 2012 Auction last month. I purchased this one because it makes me smile - so colorful and silly - and I have it on my wall now because right now I am needing smiles!

Lynn's machine applique is phenomenal. Even with my magnifying glass I cannot see any stitches. I wonder if she had trouble with tension using monopoly on both the top and in the bobbin. I think the flower bunches on the heads of the birds is an added touch of silliness. Each bird eye has a bead topped with a seed bead.
And each flower is centered with a fancy button or bead.
Creative label, but no contact for the artist. It is an important tool for possible future sales.
A back that coordinates with the front, something that I enjoy. The striped binding is a great addition.

Love this- Lynn's a member of our New Mexico SAQA group and it's always a treat to see her work!

I'm smiling too! Could these be oyster catchers? A not-so-common shore bird? Stay well.
Dear Del,
I always enjoy seeing your new additions to the collection, checking out your lunches, and keeping up to date on Corky the Poodle Prince--thanks for your blog!
