Kristen holds a Master's degree in Avian Sciences and has worked as a Bird Banding Biologist. She is particularly fond of corvids and has done quilts depicting crows and ravens. This little black bird came about organically and was decorated by drawing free hand on the appliqued bird and then embroidering over the lines. She has a little bird quilt in the SAQA online auction this fall. http://kristinshieldsart.com/bio/
"Fanciful Blackbird" Kristin Shields - Bend, OR 2015 8"W x 6"L
Machine pieced, hand appliqued and embroidered, hand and machine quilted.
I love the background fabrics and the embroidered eye!
Kind of an "egg-y" fabric on the back, but no label. Of course, the artists weren't told to put on a label and probably expected the little quilts would stay in the matting frame. Each one has a label on the back of the mat.

Thanks Del! You are right. I didn't know about the label, but I'll do one next time.
