Made for @Edel in the Little Good Things swap. I saw tons of crows on her Pinterest and she listed pink as one of her favourite colours. I wanted to frame it but couldn’t find the right frame so I cut a tenporary frame from cardstock. The fabric is hand dyed (not by me) and there’s a little bit of gold in the fabric in the lower right corner that’s difficult to capture in a picture.
It’s so fabulous. I love it!
That is such a fantastic design! It’s so cool!
It’s fantastic…and the hand dyed aida cloth makes it extra special
This crow is fantastic.
I agree! I never in a million years would’ve thought to dye Aida cloth. It makes the black stitching look fantastic!
As a fellow crow fanatic, I literally squeaked in delight over this! I love the pattern, and the pairing of the crow with that vibrant pink is brilliant. Now I’m going to have to dye all my boring aida cloth!
I agree with the others that the pink makes the crow pop out! Great work!
Ooooh, that’s so Edel! Beautiful work.
I really love that fabric and I’ve been looking for the right pattern for ages. I have about 10 of those dyed squares left in several colours, all evenweave or aida. I bought them years ago at a summer fair in a small village. The lady who sold them was ending her small business and I bought all the dyed fabrics she had left and a needle book. I have never seen any fabric like that again anywhere, not hand dyed.
Great choice of topic and execution! The hand dyed fabric is a boon, by itself!
VERY cool!
I love this. The crow really pops on that fabric.
Wonderful stitching!
