So let's get hopping shall we?
This is my new Folk Art Fusion design called "Bird on My Berry Tree."
It features my signature reverse wool applique with National Nonwovens wool felt, hand embroidery with Valdani pearl cotton and machine quilting.
I love watching the birds eat the berries even when the berries are frozen like they were a few weeks ago!
There are bead and yarn embellishments, which adds a little depth and dimension to the wool felt.
I will be adding this design to the list of classes I teach. Everyone deserves a play date! I would love to meet you and spend a fun day together creating Folk Art Fusion. Click on the tab above for more information.
I have COMPLETE kits, which include a paper pattern available in my SHOP. Simply open the box and begin. You will have everything you need except an iron, applique pressing sheet and sewing machine to complete the project. I do sell applique pressing sheets in my shop if you need one.
I also have PDF patterns available in my CRAFTSY shop. Just download and begin!
Finally, I have been asked many times to bring back some of my previous stitchery designs. So, I thought this was the perfect time to bring these two back. Here are my "Birds on my Berry Trees" stitchery/patchwork designs. As you can see, it was also the inspiration for my Folk Art Fusion design as I combined elements from both of these. Everything is new again right? :)
This project is available as a PDF download only. You can hop over to my CRAFTSY shop if you would like to stitch this. (A very special thank you to my stitching assistant, April Taylor for all her wonderful stitchery work).
We do hope you have enjoyed your visit with us today and we thank you for all your wonderful friendship and support of our small business.
Now we invite you to visit with these other fabulous friends with whom we are delighted to share this day with.

Hi, Michelle and the Bunnies. Your work takes my breath away! Truly divine. Loved seeing the stitching up close. And the last two embroidery patterns were finished so beautifully with the simple patch border. You have awesome creations and I enjoyed seeing it all today!

Thanks for sharing.
All fabulous projects! Thanks for showing these. ☺
Geeze - I go off in the mountains with no I-Net for three days and when I come back - blamo - Christmas already! I best get shopping!
Unfortunately, out here in the Pacific North West, Holly is badly invasive and spreads rapidly by birds and the berries! We destroy them as fast as they can be found. (But I like them anyway and keep some locations (like just down the fence line) secret so I get some branches for holiday trimming!)
Your stitching is just beautiful and unique. The bird on the topiary turned out just lovely.
Michelle, your Bird on my Berry Tree is fabulous! Love the colours you used and that very beautiful tree. The bird looks great perched on top! Nice to see the stitcheries as well.
I saw this on facebook and I have to say you come up with the most creative designs. I love everything you so.
