We're all about Christmas robins round here at the moment. We have a very friendly robin out in the garden and he's set us off drawing and creating robins.
I began making this as a Mini Quilt, but Venetia has now also started a couple of robin fabric pictures which will become mini quilts, so, since we don't want too many robin mini quilts, and since I think I could happily make lots more robin applique blocks, I think this might now become part of a larger robin quilt. Quite possibly it won't get finished till next Christmas, mind you!
I originally thought this large doily would make good snow flakes, but I couldn't bring myself to chop it up, and in it's original state I think it looks much more like a full moon, but I quite like it that way.
And I had the perfect, vintage, mother of pearl button for my mistletoe berry too.
I'm hoping you like robins, because there may be a few more around here over the next week or so!

I like robins, mostly because they mark the coming of spring :)
ReplyDeleteHave you heard of the book How the Robin Saved Spring...amazing!
I think the lace looks like the moon, too, what a cute mini.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute:-)
ReplyDeleteReally lovely! I love robins X
ReplyDeleteChristmas Robins--is that a thing? Or something of your own invention? Either way--love it!
ReplyDeleteSweet Robins! it could be a full moon but I think it should really be a large snowball! XCathy
ReplyDeleteThe lace reminds me of a full moon! Such a lovely piece of art...and, yes, we love robins. They are a sign of spring after our long New England winters.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful - I love the doily, it does look like a full moon, but perhaps a full moon with snow falling in front of it! And yay for more robins, they're cute :)
ReplyDeleteI love watching our feathered friends and this piece they inspired!
ReplyDeleteThat is just lovely! I love the button. So simple, but speaks volumes. :-)
