But it is very small - only 8" X 7". And it is a Mug Mat. But it is actually complete and it makes me feel that I may start being creative again. If you look back at my post for 01-19-21 you will read the beginning of this story. I wasn't pleased by the light green fabric so I over-fused it. The color in this picture is all screwed up, it is much brighter than this, and greener. I will try to "fix" it, but I have discovered that what I see on my screen is not necessarily what you see on yours!
Commercial cotton fabrics, hand-dyed fabric, cotton thread and batting. Fused, machine quilted, hand embroidered, overcast binding.
It needed some details and also some lightness in the bottom 1/4, so I hand embroidered some leaves using #8 perle. The white on the bird is also hand embroidery, but using #12 perle.
I hope the lady I am sending this to will enjoy it. She celebrated her 87th birthday in January, but I didn't finish this in time. I do think at our age we should celebrate for at least a week and maybe even a whole month. Especially this year when we have been so repressed for the past eleven months.
