This piece is like it´s done here, in the north of Sweden - our town is called "The city of birches" . There are birches all over :)Maddehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590617861425116970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240676321733891654.post-59322250832390042372012-03-13T02:59:37.008-04:002012-03-13T02:59:37.008-04:00i love jane's suggestion of a gray frame - but...i love jane's suggestion of a gray frame - but also the black sets it in relief in some way too.<br /><br />I learned needle turn applique in my class last week. It's nice to see the way you're using it. I made the photo bigger to get a good look.<br /><br />Love that you're setting challenges for yourself. I really like it.Bellshttp://bellsknits.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240676321733891654.post-76704785249349907422012-03-09T15:08:18.044-05:002012-03-09T15:08:18.044-05:00I think that's my favorite piece you've do...I think that's my favorite piece you've done. Maybe because I have a fondness for birch trees. It is just beautiful.<br /><br />And my OTT light has saved my sanity and my eyesight! I am so grateful for it.Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240676321733891654.post-28007420637651636862012-03-09T10:22:15.051-05:002012-03-09T10:22:15.051-05:00I love the frayed effect on the new trees!

I was thinking a gray too for the matted one . . . hmmm<br />maybe not exactly the same shades as the trees, but something a little lighter than the black . . . <br /><br />Either way, you rock. They are gorgeous. <br /><br />Fearless is always good. :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16522601750496008817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240676321733891654.post-56784199286492938922012-03-08T08:40:00.909-05:002012-03-08T08:40:00.909-05:00Love the birch trees Amy.

I like the black, but I wonder what it would look like with a colour? Or even with grey, so the embroidery sort of seems to grow out of the fabric? Or White? So that the embroidery pulls all the focus?Rose Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510204661811765499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240676321733891654.post-66646755250081237992012-03-07T21:30:28.827-05:002012-03-07T21:30:28.827-05:00Very effective!!

You're actually quilting, so you can cross that off the "someday" list!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276598913041251101noreply@blogger.com
