Mini birds quilt - Mondvögel

It looks like the rising moon - oh,a name came to my mind:

"Moonbirds" - that's it - Mondvögel.

The running-stitch-birds got company -

with bread-crumbs - French knots - around

and the whole little quilt looking like this:

Moonbirds

It is nearly square but not on this photo.

It is made by reverse appliqué.

You know probably how this works:

Two fabrics right sides together, sew a circle or any shape, cut it out and

turn it around. Right sides are now on top.

This made a round frame -

... and place your stitching or whatever you want underneath.

See you soon!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Running stitches

Spirals of running stitches and when I broke out of the rythm

I saw that two birds appeared. I call this now paradise birds.

I might still add eyes so they could emerge from the running stitch jungle

Paradise birds

I dyed the white fabric with silk paints for lack of my

ProcionX dyes - they were 300 km away - I made it in

the French house.

Pulled threads in this very thin gauze - before I cut it

away on the bords I surrounded it with chain stitches

and barred chain stitches.

Solution of the neckline

And it is finished - my cardigan - and oh oh oh - the buttonholes are

on the wrong side. I can live with that (television watching).

The neckline rather wide -

not just the thing you need in winter in an old cold house.

The sleeves

The sleeves ----

The pattern came from "Die Farben des Nordens" by Jutta Bücker

 

Author Jutta Bücker

Complicated, if you folllow it exactly with a

meticulous description. Rather confusing for me -

you can't watch TV while knitting - and

I had to add 5 cm for the sleeves.

But the result is ok.

And a complete photo will come soon.

 

River delta with French knots - some changes

It changed a little

There are floating French knots and beads on the water branches -
